      Hey! Found your channel a couple days ago, and this video is sooo helpful! I wish I would’ve found it months ago bc I identify with everything you are describing, all the feelings and all the mistakes we make to keep your attention on prayer and studying the Bible. Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻

    I found your page because this morning I went to pray and read my Bible and I couldn't even focus I was so frustrated. I finally got to the point frustration and anxiety that I got up and got dressed. And as I was putting on my makeup that thought in my head about not praying and reading my Bible because of the distractions in my mind I thought maybe there might be a video out there that would help and yours was the first one that popped up. Exactly what you said is exactly what has happened to me the last week. Satan is definitely coming against me. I have a restaurant and with covid it has really been hard. We are slower than we've been in a long time. My husband passed away 7 years ago and I had to take over the business that I knew nothing about. I've only gotten through everything with the help of God. I feel like I'm letting God down. But I always told God I know that he knows my heart and he knows that my heart is true to him. Thank you so much for your video. I subscribed to your channel and if you could pray for me my name is Jeanie.

    I came across your channel when I was studying the book of Ruth late 2021...scrolled on U-Tube and found your channel. It has truly been a blessing to me and very relevant because I work closely with the youth and have a heart for young ladies in relation to purity, love and commitment to the Lord. Thank you so much...I am learning so much through your channel. May God bless you🙏. All the way from Namibia🥰🥰🥰

It is nice to see young people reading the bible. I was not raised with the Bible nor do I know anyone who reads it personally. Thank you for your channel, I really enjoy🌺🌺🌺

    Hey Kaci. I'm going through Numbers right now and yesterday night I couldn't read but a chapter. I do my quiet times at night because of my very early work routine but I'm concerned that doing them at night might not be working that much either. I love reading the Bible and your channel is very inspirational to stay on the Christian lane. Thank you for your energy and love. Laura

    Thanks for these practical tips. I am 100% convinced our attention spans have shortened. I grew up in the dinosaur years BI (Before Internet). I thought I was imagining that my attention span was getting shorter. Some years ago I timed it. I played a video and watched until I felt that urge to switch to something else or felt my concentration waning. It was about 2 minutes. I bet it's less than half that now. I'm afraid to even test myself again. I find that horrifying, especially for kids who are growing up this way. I cringe whenever I see kids, especially toddlers & younger, zombified by a phone/tablet.

    • @kacinicole
      @kacinicole  4 года назад +3

      It's true! The internet is such a valuable tool in so many ways, but it's definitely impacting our attention span!

    I think the Lord led me to your channel. He knew i needed some extra Bible study. You've been a blessing. I found spending time with the Lord first thing works best for me also. I heard a Preacher say that we are supposed to put our armor on every day for the battle so if we are not doing our quiet time with Him until night, its like putting your armor on and going to bed.. lol.

    hey Kaci! i JUST found your channel through Kian Tilton’s channel/instagram
    i’m currently reading the book of Acts and I’m definitely learning a lot about how passionate the apostles were about preaching the Word of God and didn’t stop even when they were physically beaten and hurt. I’m learning how relevant it is for me to be preaching Gods Word with enthusiasm, boldness, and accuracy too! even when others reject it

    • @kacinicole
      @kacinicole  4 года назад +2

      Oh my goodness I love Kian, she's so great! 💛 I'm so happy to have you here! Also WOW - love that so much and that makes me want to go read the book of Acts again now! The fervency and boldness of the apostles is truly incredible 🙌🏼thank you for sharing!

    This video really really helped me, thank you so much for putting time into making it and being willing to share the understanding that you’ve been given. I’ve been learning about how we are to pray for others and even ourselves using the Bible, this model prayer is in Colossians chapter 1. There are two preachers who have preached on this. Praying in specific details is very powerful, and as you said, time with God will bring change!

    I think your how to study the bible was the first video I watched and then your bible studies. I'm currently going through the new testament, been on James for a week now! I went through it in 2 days but I just love evrything about it that have been praying on it and going back to it evry day since. I feel like I don't want to move on to next chapter so I re read 2 chapters or the entire 5. 💙

    Hi Kaci, I'm currently reading Matthew 5 which has been a huge comfort to me in the challenges I face anxiety and depression. I do find myself discouraged when I have a battle with my illness for 2 weeks straight, what would your advise be to those of us that are struggling to make it through another with all its battles? Which scriptures can you advice me to to read when I feel at my lowest? One of my favourite psalms which gives me so much hope is psalm 40, which I am able to mirror myself in. A fees tips for those of us suffering with this terrible illness known as anxiety and depression Would definitely encourage and inspire me to keep fighting and to keep standing firm no matter what obsticles and challenges I may face.
    I look forward to your response.

    • @kacinicole

      Hi Terse! I am so sorry you are going through this 💛I wish I had something to say to make it better, but I can say I am praying for you right now and I know there is hope! One of my favorite verses to cling to in painful times is 1 Peter 5:10. Also, I'd recommend John Mark Comer's book "My Name Is Hope" (it's on anxiety and depression). God used that book in my life in a powerful way during a difficult season!

    Hi there , I was wondering if you could help me , I don't know who else to go to and I love your videos. In 2017 I gave my life to Jesus and it was the best feeling ever but yesterday i watched a youtube video where they talked about false conversions and it hit me , what if I'm like that , what if I'm a false convert ? , I then read a bunch of articles of "signs" of false converts and I realised that since I gave my life to Jesus I never really lived like a true Christian, I was still drinking and swearing and being just a very mean person , so does that mean I'm not saved ?
    How do I get saved , I can't stop crying , please help
    Thank you for reading ♡

      Praying for you! I pray that God reveals himself to you personally, not just based on what other people say but a personal revelation of Himself to you. He Loves you! And He wants you to know Him. Tell Him exactly how you feel, bare your heart to Him and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.

      Amen to what Pearl said! Praying for you right now Britany! I encourage you to seek Him by reading His Word! Ask Him to reveal Himself to you through it - He delights in doing that and His Word is His revelation of Himself to us. He gives us the promise that He will draw near to us as we draw near to Him (James 4:8). Seek Him and you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13) 💛
