no way. i just got back home after a rough exam and was just thinking about my faith and my struggles with it lately. i open my youtube to this, posted just two minutes ago. wow. God is so, so good. i’m at a loss for words to express my thanks to Him right now.

edit: gosh, i wish i could respond to everyone in the comments :’) i’m with you guys, this past week has been a lot for me mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually (think the exam just added to all that) BUT GOD IS GOOD! i cherish even the hard parts, because i know it is all in God’s plan for me🙌✝️💗 praying for everyone🙏

After I left Islam at 14 years old, I considered myself an Atheist for 7 years. During that time I experimented with different nonsensical beliefs like Buddhism and even New Age, but God saved me before I got in too deep (halleluyah). Now I'm 28, I've been a Christian for 7 years but I still find myself going back and forth between God and this stupid world. Social media plants doubts in my head and I keep struggling every minute of my life not to lose my faith again. Today I managed to start reading my Bible again, and I hope I won't stray from it again. If you're struggling, please know that you're not alone. And if my future self is reading this and watching this video again: Please don't forget how far God has brought you and how many times He welcomed you back with open arms. No matter how guilty you feel, He's always been there and He WILL always be there. Stay strong and turn to Him, you need not feel ashamed.

I'm actually crying right now 😭 to think that there's a Father that's always loving us everyday and more than the human feelings is so overwhelming.

Please pray for me I’m having a spiritual battle with everything right now I’m failing in school I just need help please pray for me I feel like a disappointment I love God I’m praying everyday I really needed this video

Was on my knees last night telling God about how low and rotten I feel. Each time I sin it’s harder to go back to him, especially when I’ve asked for forgiveness from the same sin countless times. I’ve turned my back on him more times than I can count and I know my walk with him has been rocky for a while now. I truly believe this video was personally sent to me from God. Even in the times I feel like the most sinful man in the world, He never leaves. Lord, please walk with me, help me to fix and change the things I can, and please take the things that I can’t. May we all be reminded that faith isn’t a feeling, and that feelings are temporary and fleeting. May all of our faith’s flourish, and may we all have more and more communion with you, the lover of our souls. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Lord, I’m sorry for being so selfish. It was never about me or my feelings. Thank you for allowing us to experience your grace and mercy. Thank you Jesus. AMEN❤

I've been praying for the last few days for my faith to grow because I'm having trouble believing in God and now this video comes out.
Thanks!

I want to thank you. I’m a single dad and my autistic daughter struggles with not having friends, among other things. We watch these together. Get a good laugh and it really helps her understand God’s grace, faith and reliance on Him. You are great at what you do. Thank you so much and God Bless.

This guy gets it. This is exactly what I needed. Glory be to God for working this message through you.

My girlfriend just left me, and this is the first thing on my fyp. God is good, I just wish I could be better for him.

For the past two days I’ve been feeling so far from God. I backslid into past sins he has delivered me from. I’ve been ashamed but been trying to get back up. I’ve been praying for Him to change my heart posture and to bring me back to him. To send me anything that will help me out and this video popped up. Started to tear up…God is always listening and loves you.

I'm glad faith isn't based on feelings, I always feel left out in church seeing everyone around me expressing so much emotion. I sometimes wonder if I'm just fooling myself thinking I'm really a Christian. Though I have faith that I am, because when I try to witness to people and they don't listen or change; I realize I take for granted that I know and believe. I am reminded that I was drawn to God by his spirit, and I don't have to depend on feelings to confirm that. I don't want to think that others are only based on feelings only, but I can be sure that my feelings will not pull me away from God if those feelings are not what I rely on in the first place. I sometimes would just want to feel what comes with fellowship with other believers, because sometimes I feel like I really lack that, even when I'm in church. I need others to pray that I'll find that fellowship or at least be content with what I already have.

I'm constantly praying for God to show me how to grow my faith, so this video came at the perfect time. Thank you.

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25, 000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!

It's like a everything in live, sometimes you

1. have to decide to plant a seed.
2. you have to pour water over it day by day without results.
3. "Wow, there is something"
4. You get a strong tribe which has taken roots
5. It starts to get stronger and more beautiful
6. You can see some small fruits coming out of your wonderful work, patience and believe
7. Congrats you are getting all the sweet fruits of your effort! But at that point you already fell in love with the relationship and holding that tree alive, you get tons of rewards but they are not the focus anymore.

(That was something Jesus told me in one of my praiers) Thanks to our Lord and love to all of you brothers and sisters ♥

Once I sent an Email to Beggar saying all I was feeling about my faith on that time. It was hard because I had doubts, but writing that helped me a bit. I didn't give up and I think that my faith is stronger now. Talking about the Email, I don't know if he read that, but watching this video I feel he did, because almost everything I wrote was answered in this video. Thank you and God bless
