- Are you struggling with doubt? Do you notice that at times you don't have as much faith as you want to have? I've been there. And so have Jesus' disciples. I used to feel ashamed of this but I came across a verse in Matthew that flipped that shame on it's head. God is in the unbelief, God is the doubt, God is in the worry and He is using it all. enjoy!!!

Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my RUclips channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!
your unbelief is opening doors, how every christian should handle doubt, faith and doubt, how god is using your unbelief, the unexpected way god is using your doubt, your unbelief is opening doors, how every christian should handle doubt, faith and doubt, how god is using your unbelief, the unexpected way god is using your doubt, doubting god, doubting jesus, doubting faith
We were struggling to pay our rent this month and we felt fear and worry taking over. But I laid in bed last night and just simply talked to God about my fears and I asked Him for help. The next morning we had a miracle and we were able to pay our rent. Thank you, Lord. 🙏❤️
I am so happy to learn how God blessed you 🥹 this is such a beautiful testimony ! I understand how stressful and anxious you felt and God responded to your prayer 🙏🏿 He’s so good I cannot contain my happiness and gratitude to the Lord because of your testimony 🥹😁
@@jeredi3376 Thank you! ❤️ He’s a good, good Father! He loves us so much. God bless you, friend!❤️
This is beautiful and encouraging
I love testimony plus your wildness to share because i am going through same thing. I was scared to say out loud because of Spiritual wickedness in high places. I am glad of your financial blessing.
Thank you for sharing !!!

Underrated comment forsureeee😭😭😭❤️🔥❤️🔥needed this thank u
I’m currently in a season where I am struggling. Struggling to not focus on my current problems that are facing me but to focus on God because He’s there. The minute I feel like okay cool…God got me. My thoughts come back to creep back in and tell me I’m sinking. So it’s a consistent thing to remind myself of His unchanging hand and that he’s here …He hears my cry.
Thank you!
I feel you a 100%!! I can‘t stop worrying - I keep circling back to it even though I trust him.
U literally just described me this past week
Same sis! God got us tho🙌🏾
God is with you 💗
i relate to this so much. praying that God will strengthen you through this time of growth! it's painful but it all works for our good in the end. we've just got to hold on and keep reminding ourselves that even in our fear and doubt the Lord is always near ❤God bless you sis!
One of the most recent times that I felt god has forgotten me was waiting for a new job. After acting like a spoiled brat complaining, I recentered myself and reminded myself that I am the daughter of king Jesus! And his word says he’s an on time god! And he blessed me with a job I couldn’t even imagine having! God is great

Thats beautiful ❤
In my last relationship, I felt really far from God and felt guilty about not being as on fire for him as I used to be. God ended up removing me from that situation. It was painful at first, but it helped me to realize that God is there for me no matter what, and no matter how far away I am He will leave the 99 to find me. Months later I feel so much better and more closer to God than I've felt in a long time. I'm at peace and happy. Amen ! The Lord is so Good
Amen! I receive this! 💕
Wow. I hope to get there too.
Thank you for this, God is using it to encourage me to keep relying on Him. God bless you!
Amen, this blessed me I was just reading Luke 15 sis ❤
Isolation season is a blessing in disguise!!
this came at the right time oh my goodness
praise God. i knew it was for someone. i pray it continues to encourage you sis!!
Facts 😳….GOD I see you 😌🙏🏽😌
Amen. ❤🙏🏾
This was right on time, I can relate so much I am in a waiting season and have dealt with doubt and unbelief. Thank you so much!!! This will definitely help me.❤
What she said !!!
I recently graduated from college in May and upon graduating I expected to have a job offer… God had other plans of course. At first I did not understand what his plan was and I became so discouraged and dismayed. I felt like the storm was swallowing me and I could barely breathe at times. In all if this I still kept my eyes on God and when I did start to sink as Peter did, God pulled me back up and saved me from the pain. God had to prune me so I can be prepared for the doors that he’s opening. I am more determined than ever to receive what he promises daily. I also reflect on the verse that in my weakness he makes me strong. Also, I learned to not pray in fear but in faith. I may be in a financial bind right now but I faith in God and due to my faith he had been opening doors for growth, maturity, discipline, joy, peace, etc.
If there’s anybody in some type of need, just pray in faith and thank God that he will help you through this. Trust me, it hasn’t been the easiest trying to make ends meet but God always provides either way.
Isn’t it crazy how God works y’all? Like we all seem to have needed this. We all seem to have been struggling and came across this to get that push we need to stay focused. God bless and thank you girl for this post
We are in a fallen world where sin exists in us. So it is a daily battle to fight our old man (sin) with the new man (righteous). Ev,eryday day we have to pray and fight, the good fight of faith.😃
❤
God is amazing ❤

I feel far from God after I fall into sin. It’s like I know I made a mistake and did wrong so I feel ashamed to even go to Him . I prolong the process by waiting because of my shame and every time I go back to God He is there waiting . Whoever’s reading this , NOTHING can separate you from the love of the Lord! Any time you fall, get right back up because I promise God is waiting for you with open arms ❤️
Wow, I felt this a lot!
For when you feel not clean enough to go to God:
“Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way but did not sin.
Let us have confidence, then, and approach God’s throne, where there is Grace. There, we will receive Mercy and find Grace to help us just when we need it” - Hebrews 4:15-16.
I am believing for a permanent job and I constantly find myself anxious and worried and scared about my future, at times I get to think if there’s anything that I was supposed to do but I haven’t done but the answer is really just, I have done everything I am supposed to do, I have the necessary qualifications and skills and all that and all I need is that one touch of God’s favor. Please pray for me🙏🏽.
In a similar situation! Praying for you. With God’s favor… you got this sis!

How r u
When i lose my temper on my medically fragile daughter. I full time care for so much. Shes a teen but needs help eating, toileting, her menstrual cycle, hygiene, and so much mental confusion like dementia in a child. She is also violent so parenting her is so challening. To find the balance of singing the abc’s then explaining how screaming at me for so long over things I can not give her is beyond normal. I lose my temper. I yell. I scold. I do not name call or swear and try not to attack her back but it is not easy to keep the peace during these storms. I instantly feel awful and know holy spirit is convicting me. I will appologize if i went to far but I am not excusing her behavior. We deal with them seperately. I know am trying to pray before I speak like nehemiah with the king, or walk in another room for a minute. I know my anger pushes a holy God away and so I must keep working in this
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe
alrightys, sis! it's been 2 weeks so we are long overdue for a chat ♥️ today's question is: when have you felt far from God and what did you do to remind yourself that He was truly right there with you?!
for me: during my 9 months of pregnancy, I felt extremely far from God. and i felt so ashamed about it because i was going through this miraculous thing of growing a human in my belly yet I struggled to feel His presence through the many challenges the 9 months entailed. What I did to remind myself that He was right there despite me feeling like He was far was to sharing opening with trusted friends how i was feeling and ask for their prayer and also to keep reading the Word and "show up" in a sense. the more i entered into His presence via the Word, watching a sermon, listening to worship music, the more encouraged I would feel.
I feel far right now went back to some old ways but im repenting trying to get to a new place with God
I went far away from God when I started focusing a lot on my X and thought he is all I have in my life and blindly followed him. After years I realized that nothing good happening and things getting worse. Then made up my mind to take my sword (MY BIBLE) and started reading and could literally see all unwanted things removed from my life. Now I have surrendered my entire life unto him and as said by him,
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
God is Good! Amen!!
Recently, struggling to fast. God reminded me through scripture Luke 15. That even when I stray he’ll never abandoned me. Also he has allowed me to remember that’s he pulled me from sin & back then I wanted to sin. Soo now just simply getting me back on track want my will against his it was getting the strength to stand up again.
Struggling with a certain sin made me feel far from god... the devil definitely used it to try to attack me with the demonic spirits of guilt and shame etc... but the thing that helps the most it's when the Holy Spirit convicts me so that I can overcome my sin... and to remember that I have been given Authority in the mighty name of Jesus to crush the heads of serpents and scorpions and so I start Warfare praying and decreeing and declaring in Jesus name... thanks for this video
One moment I felt far from God was actually on the latter half of my mission trip. I was doing a lot for God and seeing miracles in the flesh, but I was stressed about all of the things I had to take care of once I made it back home:
- Paying Rent
- Moving Out
- Getting a new job
- Continuing to build my business after pretty much a month content hiatus
I felt so ashamed that I was struggling with my relationship with God on a mission trip. The last couple days were rough for me, but coming back I started to fight for my relationship with God by just telling him how I honestly felt and what I wanted. Additionally, by reading scriptures about his promises and meditating on them. Since then, God has just been reaching out to me through videos like this and scripture letting me know that he’s here with me; that he sees me. So, I trust that everything will work out even though I haven’t seen any miracles just yet
I feel far from Him now, I feel lost and alone and that I've fallen into laziness and complaint. And I'm scared. I'm scared I can't or won't get out of this and I'm not sure what to do, what the right thing is. I feel guilty and anxious. And I know God says be anxious for nothing, do not fear, all that. Walking that out has been a real challenge and I'm trying, it just feels like nothing is changing. So I'm trying to trust God in the process and take small steps wherever I can. Amen and thank you for this encouraging word. I'm thankful to have watched this today, and to know God hasn't disqualified or outlasted me because I'm messing up. Thank you Lord Jesus for your grace and mercy, thank you for loving me. Amen ❤
We are in the same boat . I thank God for you.❤❤ But how are you overcoming it?

WOW...I usually don't leave comments but this was for me! I've been wavering in my faith on something I believe God told me He'd do for me & I've been thinking "Well the Bible says if I waver in my faith I shouldn't expect to receive anything from God" (I believe that was the enemy twisting that Scripture on me). So I started to think that God would no longer accept even the little faith that I had. The way you described God's response to our wavering faith is SO encouraging and challenges me to continue going to God when I'm wavering *knowing* that He understands that I'm only human and will doubt sometimes. Thank you for sharing this with us! 💕
Wow, same here! My faith has been wavering too. Also, the enemy has been twisting scriptures on me too. Thanx for leaving a comment.
Wow same here! God is so good! He even remind you He still here....He did for me and now re-strengthening my faith and my relationship with him!

I needed this. I’ve been on a job search because I’m ready to step into my career and also pick myself up. I recently had an interview, and leading up to it, I’ve never felt more faith in my life. Everything about the position was perfect, and after not hearing back from anyone, I felt like this was God’s plan. Well, I bombed the interview. It was TERRIBLE, and of course, I didn’t get it. After the interview, I went straight into depression and self-hate. Naturally, I’ve always doubted myself and felt like the great things I’ve always seen myself doing were not in God’s plan for me. I’ve always felt small. After a while, I felt guilty for feeling the way I did because I know God, and I know that He’ll never lead me astray. Although I still have faith, there’s still doubt in me, and it stems from my past. I pray that anyone who has always felt like they’ve gotten the short end of the stick stands still in their faith. Greatness takes time, and as long as we trust in the Lord, we’ll soon be stepping into our answered prayers.
My best friend sent this to me because I literally told her that I felt like I trusted God to perform miracles for others , but doubted he would do the same for me … this message was definitely for me ! Thank you ❤
How r u now
Wow😭scrolling through RUclips and stumbled across this video!! 🙌🏼 🙌🏼This is me the past month, waivering in my faith and constantly worried!! I repent Lord🙌🏼🙌🏼help me keep my eyes on You through the storm and call on Your Name.🙌🏼
I recently got baptized and I'm struggling with my faith and sometimes feel ashamed I needed to hear this so I can rest assured that God is always there for me
Same❤
yes, sis!! always!! just call out to Him. invite Him into it all
Just have this in your mind that He is the one who has chosen you as his child and loves you. Read the Bible and that will lead you through Faith.
God is Good! Amen!!
Don’t be ashamed! God likes when you ask questions:) what helps me in those moments is to find like the root of what im having doubts about and look that topic up in the bible and pray on it, I always have more clarity and peace about it.
@kaytlynamormino3797 This is such powerful advice!
Once God preserts himself to you, there is no doubting his existence
when i’m struggling I tend to remind myself that the Lord said he will never forsake me..!
I JUST got off my knees from praying to the Lord and at the end I asked the Lord to speak to me scared and full of fear & focusing on the storms & look at God ! Thank you
He’s a present help in time of trouble. The way you explained Peter doubting it made me laugh a bit because we are like that. We ask God to do something big and when he does we’re like “Lord help !” . Thank God that he loves us either way.
So true! That's been me recently!
@@royallt4218 same! But we must choose faith in Him every time.
This word was right on time, I been wavering in my faith and recently God told me to quit my 9-5 without having a back up plan. I am trusting God will save me as he always does and guide me on this new journey .
I feel like I’m going through a similar situation girl. How did you know God was telling you to leave you’re current job? I think he’s telling me the same thing but I’m so scared to not have a backup plan.
@@oliviamartinez3542 Heyy girl , I knew God was telling me to leave because I noticed over the years I was settling at dead end jobs for the sake of paying my bills. I was living in survival mode. The main things God healed me and restored me from was a long battle of depression and anxiety. The job i was working at was causing me to suffer from these illnesses all over again. Every time I stepped in the office I would become irritable, anxious, and angry. I often felt overlooked, undervalued and was getting overworked. As I began praying for Gods direction regarding my job he started speaking to me through sermons, videos similar to this one, worship songs etc. In order for me to walk into my job with a clear head I HAD to listen to worship music on my way to work. Somedays I would cry going into work . I was no longer being fulfilled and I wasn’t able to use my God given gifts in the workplace so I knew I was settling. I’d leave work everyday crying etc. One day on my lunch break I broke down in my car and I heard God speak to me and ask me “Do you trust me or not?” In all other areas I trusted God but in that one area I was wavering with my faith because I grew up on survival mode and living in fear when it came to my finances. I watched my parents work multiple jobs that were unfulfilling for the sake of having good benefits. I wanted more for my life . Gods benefits are sufficient enough and I was willing to struggle to see his promises come to pass. I honestly just took the risk and took a leap of faith because I reached my breaking point. When you know God is speaking to you and telling you to get out of something for the sake of your mental , emotional, physical and spiritual health you will know right away. There’s no questioning it. You have to do what’s right for you. God will always make a way out of no way. Speak to him everyday and be very intentional with what you are needing from him. Ask for signs and confirmations that are crystal clear. God was speaking to me through my body. I often told myself “I will not lose myself behind no job for the sake of just getting by” living paycheck to Paycheck. I was called for something bigger and God didn’t put me here to settle for the bare minimum. When you know your worth you won’t give in to things that are no longer feeding your spirit. I wish you the best sis! Do what is best for you and make it between you and God. People may not understand or respect your decision but it is not their life to live. I started a business to be a life coach, that’s what feeds my spirit, helping others. ❤️❤️ sorry for the long response lol.
Also, take into consideration your personal situation. If you have kids, and you have a lot of bills and no help to turn to if you need a cushion. Definitely don’t quit your job until you have a plan. My situation was a little different and allowed me the flexibility to quit because I had help if I needed it. I will pray for you love you got this. 😇
I left my 9-5 without a back up. I have NEVER done this. Ever. God, in His way, impressed upon me to do it. I’m struggling emotionally mentally and I’m feeling tempted. But I still sense this little glimmer of hope.
@@werringertonney7489 when did you leave yours? I never done this either and I’m just trying not to play into fear so I’m holding onto my hope. So crazy how so many of us are getting this same revelation.
I use to feel far from god when my bible was closed that’s when the enemy tried attack me with lust so I read my bible every day to remind me when he sees in me and what he promised me 🙏🌹 thank you Jesus for our relationship 🙏
I was just in my first car accident on July 1st this year. My truck was totaled and I'm saving to move to another country. First, I was thankful my mom and I were okay for the most part, just minor back and neck pain. Then as reality sank in, I began to panic, I was triggered into a mindset I had when I experienced homelessness and I was deeply depressed for the last few days. However, I read my bible and was reminded of God's unconditional love. Even though I lacked faith, allowed myself to be triggered, felt negative emotions, and had dark thoughts, He still protected me and my mother. He still woke me up each day since the accident. He still provides for me.
I lost my job 3 weeks ago. God gave me this job and I messed it up. I need a new job, bills don't stop and I need to keep a roof over my head and my car note paid. My tags just went out end of February. It never takes me this long to find a job. God knows what I need, and I have been using this time to workout and read my Bible. I was starting to lose hope, or feel like God wasn't moving in this situation, but I know he is, I just can't see it first hand what he is doing behind the scenes.
It was for a reason it’s apart of his plan, God’s blessing won’t ever leave, he has something way better . He’s testing u. Endure and persevere
This was right on time for me! I’ve definitely been struggling in this season and thinking God had left me or abandoned me but He’s been there the whole time ❤
Same for me!
this is exactly what i needed. recently i've been struggling with coming and going feelings of doubt about God and my faith. but every time Jesus saves me. peter is so me please pray for me that I continue to strengthen my faith. have a great day Jesus loves you ❤️❤️
Currently struggling with consistency reading my bible so Im disciplining myself to spend time with the Lord daily in all forms :)
@kala7347 It’s an attack from the enemy. He’s doing everything to keep you distracted from spending time with God. Ask God to help you….it’s as simple as those words and He will. 🙏🏾💕
@@DaughterofZion24 amen 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 recently i started waking up an hour earlier than usual to spend time with God before my day & it’s been so much better 🩷🩷
Hi Melody i waiver in my faith everyday its a spiritual warfare but im keeping my eye on the prize Jesus!!!!!!
yesss keep your eyes fixed on Him, sis!!!
the way you just read me and helped me in 9 min is crazy lol thank you so much for letting GOD use you!
to God be the glory sis! if only you knew that this was the SECOND time i tried filming this. it was a struggle but i just knew it was for someone!! so glad it could encourage you
That “immediately” hits different. Even in our unbelief God come to our rescue. What a patient and loving God
We don’t have problems, but opportunities to enact our faith!!! Hallelujah❤
I have been really struggling lately with a new job search. I have been out of work for almost a year and I feel like I haven’t heard or felt Gods presence in my life recently. In theory, I trust God and have extreme faith in him but in my daily life and faith practices, I find myself worrying and slipping into depression because of how grim my circumstances look. I’ll admit that my anxiety, depression and self doubt my come from my own lack of trust and connection with him. And for that I’ve internalized it as him punishing me for not dwelling in him enough even though I know his love for me (us) is unconditional. I could go on and on lol but this BLESSED ME. Thank you for all you do to keep me on my faith journey Melody! ❤
How r u
Right now I feel God is far but I will go to His word for closeness, encouragement and asking for His help and reminding myself to praise Him even in difficult times. 🙏🏽
THANK YOU JESUS for using this woman of God to speak to me. I was scared. I looked for you and you met me where I am. You keep showing me how you're always right here
During this season I am in, it is quite uncomfortable. God is shaking things up in several areas of my life. It seems like I have a new battle every week 😂. Last week, I fell short and I battled with self condemnation.
This week, I have been tired of work. I know that God is doing something in this area of my life. However, I am tired. Yet, I still want to show up as my best. In fact, I need to show up as my best. I realized that I was loosing heart. Just like Peter, I got distracted by my circumstances. But I called on God. Moments after calling on God, I saw this video. Confirmation. 😂😊. I just love our father.
I have an incredibly long job season, things have happened that caused me to suffer but not in anyway near to what Jesus experienced; life be lifeing.Trusting Jesus, His way/Grace, Truth & Life by Faith in God and the preaching of Jesus' word✝️ & the presence of the Holy Spirit gave me hope. I've always been blessed before salvation then I received a giving, redeemed spirit by God This gift from God gave me strength & peace to walk out my destiny in the Lord. I'm still in my journey but I see the oasis just a few steps away, it's not a mirage, it's God and I couldn't be happier or more at peace trusting God as He orders my steps, Bless God✝️❤🙌🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽❤
I really needed to hear that. I am in a wilderness moment right now, and fear, anxiety, and disappointment has gripped me, but I'm trying to press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I really need Him to order my steps, so I'm going on a three-day fast so I can hear from the Lord. It is imperative that I hear from Him.
I definitely needed to hear this. I’ve been going through a difficult season for what feels like forever now. Trying to navigate raising my son, working on my relationship with God, feeling like I’m going through a season of mild isolation, a new career field/decision, up/down mental health, getting on track financially and working on trying to move. I feel like I know he’s working behind the scenes and that there are things he needs to develop in me for him to truly unlock some things. Deep down I know he has big plans for me, I can feel it. But my faith is shaky and my doubt increases daily. There is a little voice in the back of my head that I know is him that keeps me going but because of my lack of faith I’m constantly feeling far from him and feeling like that’s why he’s not moving like I wish he would.
He’s right there with you. He sees every tear. Keep leaning on him you will see that you won’t fall. He won’t ever fail you!
Keep praying. It helps and meditate also this will strengthen your spirit, your spirit is what makes you strong.
GIVE YOUR ALL TOO HIM CRY IF YOU HAVE TOO IT FEELS SO GOOD AND THE LIGHT SHINES THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. “FOR GOD SAYS DONOT FEAR FOR I AM WITH YOU DONOT BE DISMAYED FOR I AM YOUR GOD I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND UPLIFT YOU I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND”,EVEN IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH YOU ARE WITH ME YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF THEY COMFORT ME YOU LEAD ME ACROSS THE GREEN PASTURES IF JESUS CAN WALK ON WATER AND GIVE UP HIS LIFE FOR US ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.!
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST.!
Many, many years ago God had me quit a job that was very hard to get. It was a “dream” position, but the hours were 12 - 15 a day salary. I waited about six months before I stepped out on faith. My colleagues and friends thought I was crazy. I left and got another job making more money and less responsibilities. At that time I really needed the break. I was able to save money and not be so stressed. I then moved across the country and God led me to start my own business. I’ve made more money self-employed than I ever have working for someone else. I praise God for his mercy, loving kindness and provision!!! 🙌🏾💕 Those “leeps of faith” were some of the biggest lessons learned. It’s been an interesting journey God has me on….never thought entrepreneurship would lead to financial blessings.
This video comes at a perfect time. I’m currently fundraising for an annual missions conference that will be held in Houston Texas next month. I sold brownies and cookies at my young professionals group and as a result of faith that God would provide, I was able to get $313.58. I still have another $290 to raise funds for but I’m still thankful that God is faithful and that He provides for his precious children. And yes, this is coming from a girl who also had little faith.
I strugggggleeeeeeeee. At times i feel numb. Lord help me with my doubt
recently i’ve felt far from God, but i’ve been getting into being consistent, i like to read my bible, watch sermons, & listen to podcasts it really has helped me with my walk with God
Going through some anxiety and worry right now concerning waiting on a job but I always remind myself God is faithful and he will and always comes through for us.
I just burst out into tears at 3:35 TY Jesus for your amazing voice and 🕯️ God Bless you
It’s so interesting this scripture continues to come up in my life and I’m amazed by the timing. Right now, I’m experiencing some changes where only my faith has been keeping me afloat and given me the strength to continue despite shame, doubts and fears of the unknown. Thank you for the faithful reminder that Jesus is always with us no matter what emotions we are feeling. I truly appreciate you. ❤ I wish you and your family well. If you are reading this continue to call out to the lord whether your circumstances are good or bad. Have faith and continue to seek our lord and savior. What you receive will be beyond your imagaination. I can truly attest to that.
I’ve been fasting today is actually day 21 and I got really frustrated and opened RUclips and your video was the first thing I saw. Word in due season for me ❤
I have to get cancer check ups every 3 months. When I realize my appointment is drawing near, I get so anxious. Then I get upset with myself for doubting ☹️. I just have to remind myself to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus. He has kept me covered before and He still has me covered 🙏🏽
Going thru something similar right now after being recently diagnosed. My anxiety is thru the roof every morning and with all of the upcoming appointments. I'm keeping the faith that He will carry me through. God bless you.
@@Its_me_jem praying for you. I just keep reminding myself I am a child of God and what I went through will be a testimony. God’s got you and me too ❤️
God bless ❤ and I pray for good health from head to toe, healing, and that you may have continuous clear results ❤
I have been going through a period of doubt , worry and fear lately. When I tell you this is exactly what I needed to hear!!! God is truly present and listening! God bless you for this message 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Sis, i just went through this today. Life has been so hard and i was just crying to the point i said God its too much please take me home. I am born again and now ready to be taken, please take me. He sent me a beautiful sign and i am so grateful
I relate because I was feeling this way last week. Let's trust God to come through. We just need to be more patient and focus on the blessings we already have.
@@eyethumfazwe Trust me, just having to hear this from you is a blessing. Pray for me as i pray for you sis.
Your name sounds Zambian or Zimbabwean btw... Eyethu in Malawi is spelt Eyetu
I have felt far from God when I was in an abusive relationship. To get through I prayed harder, cried, seek positive Christian therapy, life coaching and family assistance. He is an on time God and I successfully got through. Thank You Jesus 🙌🏼
After my mom died in early march I felt lost and far from God after praying so hard for him to heal her. I'm making effort to uplift my faith by listening to encouraging words like this one. Thank you
Death is hard, but I want to tell you as long as she had our savior as hers in her heart she truly is in a better place. I know it's cliché, but some of us have really like really seen the world for what it is and in the arms of the Father is the best place at the appointed time. The enemy will use this for bitterness and anger, but trust, God knows if you were praying and the answer is no. So go through the pain..ask your questions..it will be mixed emotions and it is ok, but know he knew it was best and will help heal you. I don't know if it was a toll to take care of her or what God saw in the future and understand Im not saying we equate people as tolls so to speak, but he saw something for your future. I went through this, death, I knew why, but it still wasn't easy. I didn't watch the full video could be the same thing said, but I just felt led.❤
God bless you! 🙏🏿❤️
@@nay9nay thank you for the encouragement 🙏🏾 indeed God has his reason after all he is sovereign and knows best
@@DianaMillan Amen🙏🏾
God bless you, I never have the right words, but i pray that he may he grant you the comfort and strength you need. I am so sorry for your loss❤ sending you lots of love.
Matthew 14 was literally our passage of scripture on Sunday!
The strength of the wind should not cause us to forget the sound of God's voice.
THANK YOU FATHER GOD I NEEDED THAT HOLY SPIRIT ENLIGHTENMENT WISDOM KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING FORGIVE NE FATHER GOD IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME FOR MY UNBELIEF I BELIEVE IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏🏼 🙌 ✨️ ❤
I definitely needed the reminder that God always meets his children when we call on him.
Much love to you all. #Ephesians 2:8-9
8:55 I go in and out of periods of prolonged isolation focusing on working and lose sight of creating time to sit and be with God, when He is signaling to me that if I remained focused on Him, He will create a more fruitful community around me naturally based in his faith. Thank you so much for your words this morning, may God bless you and your family!
Only storm I need is that bread 🍞
This was a timely video for me, thank you for posting, I've been in a weird season lately and doubting literally everything was literally praying before this video for clarity and here it is, thank you again for this timely message, God bless you sis xx
I’ve struggled to have faith that God will fulfill a promise in my life. I experienced so much doubt and uncertainty and feeling lost as well. I called out to Jesus in that moment and He was right there with me. It’s in these moments that I realize God is closer than I thought❤
Thank you for this ! Though Jesus was implying that this kind of 'unbelief ' requires fasting not the demon. It's the unbelief that stumbled the disciples from healing
I prayed about this earlier today, woke up at 4 am and couldn’t go back to sleep and this video found me by the grace of God as soon as I got on my phone, it was definitely meant for me.
Thank you for this different perspective on this story: reach out to God when we doubt-don’t hide in shame
Im calling out to Jesus! Lord I need you! I believe you will be there for me! I am not allowing fear and doubt to stop me from speaking to God and asking for help. I am going into that fearful place in my life with Jesus.
Definitely needed my storm it changed me of course and showed me what I’m made of
Thank you God for never being far from me
Heavenly Father help me keep my eyes on you through the storm of life IJMN amen.

This really helped with! I was experiencing so much fear and doubt. Thank you soo much
for breaking this down for me.❤
When you talk about calling out to God about your unbelief, worry and fear, it makes me think of the verse where it says God goes before us. It really comforts me.
Such on ON TIME word for me 😮💨. Seriously, thank you for this cause I been GOING THROUGH IT 🫠, but thank you for this reminder that it is okay to have those feelings and to sit with them while sitting with God to get through it 💕.
Thank you so this. Amen. Have had to operate through fear without knowing what is on the other side recently (only a dream and a promise) and it’s hard when my worst fears are consistently triggered sometimes by those closest to me and other times by strangers but I have to do it anyway. I needed the reminder that God is right here with me, because I’m praying and it’s the doubt that makes me procrastinate.
I'm about to cry right now 😭
I've been waiting for an upload and I was going through your channel yesterday, seeing if there's a video to help me and THIS IS THE VIDEO!!!
Ms Melody, I cannot explain how this video is just what I need because I AM GOING THROUGH SUCH A DIFFICULT SEASON WHERE I'M JUST LOSING FAITH, CONTANSTLY WORRYING AND I'M SO ANXIOUS.
So thank you and thank God for using you as a vessel 🥺🤍
I read this yesterday! And i dont read in order as i should but randomly....maybe this is a message for me. I dealt with sever anxiety...but im free now...i hope. Wow..so when we waver in faith....he will still come to us?! So many churches teach us... you must have faith! Like if we doubt its a sin and i feel like ok God is mad..hes not favoring me. They dont say..its ok if u worry about faith...God will help you. Wow ❤ this is a blessing for me because when people say YOU MUST HAVE FAITH. All i think is i do...i try...but then i feel condemnation. You helped me feel like its ok and natural. And God will help me. I also noticed while reading how he was falling in the water...awwww and Jesus grabbed his hand. ❤❤❤ this is for me...(not saying no one else but....lol) God loves me in Canada also ❤. Thank you. Also i just appeared woth this msg. So God ordained. Yes. Subbed. Yes. ❤ godspeed
Lord I humbly come before You stretching my hand to the only help I know. My 3 children and I recently had to move in with my mother in a 2 bedroom apartment. I believe You have an apartment for us but please in the name of Jesus help my unbelief. It has now been a month since an apartment complex has reached back out to me and a part of me fears we will be denied. I need You Lord. Thank You in advance for showing up and showing out. Hallelujah You are such a worthy God. Amen
No matter what I go through in life I know that God is there. Do I ever doubt or have fears yes, but I never ever take my eyes off of God. This current season I am in has truly tested my faith left and right, up and down and all around. Yet still, my faith is not shaken. I may lose faith in certain people, places and things but I will never lose faith in Jesus. My dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, please remain grounded in spirit and in truth. The enemy Satan will not rob us of our sanity, peace, progress, desires, dreams, goals or anything else we set our hearts on ever, in Jesus's name Amen Amen Amen. I love you all.....Stay strong... Be blessed!
I have been struggling with how to relate to God after learning more about colonialism and how Christianity was used as a tool to strip my ancestors of their own humanity. But I cannot deny the hand of God on my life. He has pulled me through every single trial, especially when I faced racism in predominantly white institutions since young. He protected my health, mind body and spirit. This video encouraged me to run to him and cry out, because my heart breaks as I see my people suffer. Thank you for these texts
I am struggling with doubt and fear, real shaking in your bones fear and I really thought that this, this will be the reason I won't get into heaven or have a relationship with Jesus. But I've started to seek comfort in the word and seeking for answers.❤
Came from a broken family, had my daughter at the age 22, left by her father which lead me to be a single mom, breadwinner. All this years I multiple times have questioned God. Last year and early this year was the biggest and worst struggles i've been through. All I know I can depend on was God. So I called onto Him and ask for help, for peace. Maybe i'm still not out of debt and still struggling financially but there is peace somehow and I learn to trust him things that I can't do on my own.
I began to pray, meditate and ask God for his guidance.
Girl I'm praying and covering you because what the Lord has been using you to do on this platform for ladies is nothing short of life changing and amazing. May God cover you and your family and all that concerns you continually in Jesus name Amen. Thank you for your obedience. May God be glorified in and through it ❤
The feeling of doubt and a little bit of unbelief began when I was failing in two of my college classes. I was just asking God to make a way out of no way (even though I was procrastinating on my assignments). I was really just putting school in the back of my mind because I was tired of it and mentally checked out but I still wanted to finish strong. Work has also been very trying and I feel like there has been nothing but problem after problem. But I have been reminding myself that through it all God is still good. A few minutes ago I was praying and talking to God about what’s been going on and how I’ve been feeling and Hebrews 3:12 popped up in my head. It was very similar to Matthew 14:22-32 so it was no coincidence that I landed upon this video. Reading God’s Word has been a great encouragement to my spirit and mind. And this video has helped and encouraged me as well.💕
I relocated to another state and living with my aunt and I’m grateful for her letting me stay with her but trying to find my own housing and build my credit and feel like God has forgotten me
When I was going through my custody battle, I felt in the beginning, the doubt the fears, questioning why I was put in the situation. Kind of felt like God forgot about me, but I know he did not forget. He was mouthing me to be the woman that I am today to make me a better mom than just that person. If I didn’t go through that horrible experience, my life would be totally different. So I realize that all these things that he puts me through is there not hurt me or harm me but it is this the better me . And I’m forever thankful that god he leaves my side
There are benefits to feelings of Worry, doubt, and fear...
I think about my past and His word where He always comes when I pray and helps me get through whatever I’m going through
I struggle with depression/fear of my future.
I have been struggling with believing God will change any “impossible” situation around in my life.
Trying to remain in prayer & trust him.
Wow, God is my source. He understands us more than we do ourselves.. I may have a lot of questions, but i believe He is faithful even through this season. I will keep my eyes on Him
Im currently in a season where everything just dont make sense, but thats who God is and thats how faith is all about, not knowing anything about why things happen the way it should but trusting God has reasons for it and God will make a way thru all of it. WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH WITH HIM!
I seem to always forget. I’m constantly reminded that I need to have more faith
These past couple of days I’ve been giving up on my faith and telling my mom that I’m done believing in God.. this came at the right time.
This came right on time. I am dealing with an extremely difficult betrayal in my marriage and I am filled with doubt, worry, fear and uncertainty. I am a new follower and I am so happy I found your channel. It’s perfect for those like me who are new followers of Christ.
I’m glad I saw this as well. My s/o of 12 years passed away unexpectedly a month ago. The trials and tribulations just keep on coming. Grief, worry and fear were taking over. I thought God had forgotten me. I was crying and remembered God would never leave me nor forsake me. He is with me through it all. Give it to God and he will strengthen you. May you find peace in your storm🙏🏽
I used to think when I was younger that I was so logical, thinking only of science and the fact that there was little to no evidence. I’ve now found out that it’s more than just physical value, it’s something you feel within you. You feel it with your entire being and own heart. Even through my doubt and detaching from him completely, I found that he was always there through it all. Forever thankful to be able to see finally.🙏🏽❤️
I knew there was a reason why the LORD placed this video on my recommendations. I'm struggling to find a job, completely broke and starving. I recently started praying in hopes that I would land a job where I'm granted the flexibility I need with a decent salary. Losing my faith is hard to admit. However, I know that I must trust Jesus' timing. May I get out of this rough patch soon. 🙏
Recently I have been spiritually attacked by deception about my salvation and God's love for me which had me anxious and doubtful. What I have been doing is spending a lot more time in prayers and communion with God. The Lord has also sent me a message to go to the source of my doubt and I am working on it. I am thankful that the Lord never gave up on me.
Currently studying my masters which has been very intense. Throughout the course I have been challenged like never before and for the first time my faith began to waiver. To help me, I tried my best to continue reminding myself and take note of what God has done for me. I began to count my blessings and began to reject the thoughts of failure and disappointment. I asked God for a miracle and I received my miracle! Now every time I feel challenged I constantly remind myself that God did not give us a spirit of fear but love and sound mind. Claim your blessings.
God has assured me that He's going to guide and deliver me. But I struggle with umbelief and fear. I'm scared that God isn't going to bless me.
My sister I truly highly honor you
Mark 3:35 you are doing the will of God, you my sister, love you
Doubt has been the theme that I've been focusing on for a week now. I finally thought two days ago to just journal about it and ask God to help me through it vs approaching it with shame and thinking I'm luke warm for going through this. Thank you for posting and confirming that God is always near to help us through our struggles.
