what i need to surrender mentally to God is my worry of not being enough, fear of not fulfilling my calling for God, and fear of God not being there with me.

Alex thank you brother, you and your wife's ministry is blessed me, I recently fell off and got caught in demonic oppression, but I will see victory in Jesus name

I need to surrender my worries about my future after graduation to God. I worry so much about what I will do after I will graduate, if I will use my degree, and if I’ll just be unemployed. And to be honest, it’s mostly because of what my family thinks, not because of what I truly care about. So I just need to spend more time kneeling to God and asking Him to help not worry so much because I know that He has it all figured out already..even though the idea of it can be stressful for me.

Thank you much. This was so great, helpful and needed ❤ I had this urgent feeling this morning to go to the near little chapel here on the countryside were I live and bring a candle with me and pray. It is a quiet place of peace. Don't know why I didn't go there anymore for so long time. Was busy with baking goodies and buying beautiful things for my home to make me feel good. Stuff and felt so bad after it... you see my distraction from kneeling before God? And was struggeling so much these weeks and just tryed to handle it my worldly way. I will go down on my knees now and pray. Thank you again! ❤

Thank you so very much for touching on this subject!! Truly God has the answers to ALL of our problems!!

Yesterday, I heard a christian lady and psychologist say that all mental illnesses are rooted in confusion. Bringing to mind that God is not the author of confusion but peace, truth, clarity... and how key it is for us to pray to God for clarity and teach us about godly boundaries, remembering that we are in the world but we are not of the world. That got me thinking... and your podcast today was like "Hey, check this out Eva!!".

I totally relate to Lokelani's surrendering all my worries and questions without answers (yet), to God. It is true, that we often tend to seek for answers in books, people, podcasts, etc... and I can feel you when you said you suddenly find 10. more things to worry about😂 and the whole mental load multiplies... and i get stressed over it because i see i cannot handle, cover that all!! and i just cry to God... Help Me!!... Like Peter when walking on water.... yeah... I believe I do like Peter many times and cry to God... who is so good, His hand grabs ours... and everything else does not matter... Praise God! Thank you ❤

Like the father of the unwell child - I need to be more humble. // It also goes in with Lokelanis answer.. how distracting herself could be more easy, instead of going to God who gives peace and depth .. // my humility is non existent at times and I feel as if my character is very shallow .. it would be beneficial to my life if I could come kneel to God and start a relationship with Him and persevere even when I am struggling (or not so struggling too).. just like exercise, this habit can only help me be more strong and fit.. / humility. Perseverance. But humility 😥

This opens up more than one would want to think about personally speaking. Mentally we, rather I hold back so much. When it would be easier to surrender it to God. And now I’m thinking harder what are those things specifically. I could move forward by surrendering the doubt that is overwhelming. The not knowing what or where I’d be if I moved to another location. To give it all up and start anew, Lord help me to surrender each and ever part of me that is not aligned with Your Will for this life here that You’ve granted me. Help me to always remember You are the same God now as You’ve always been. Thank You Abba, Amen Amen and Amen.

[bobmaloskey]

I need to surrender my desire to win and to be great to God.

[joshuarasheed]

Hugely blessed by this message. Thank you for your continued dedication to stewarding this beautiful ministry.

[tiadwarika]

Thanks y'all I really needed this. For me I believe I've just been through so much, I started finding comfort in depression and pain, but it's very destructive. So when I'm sad, I quicker run to my own destructive patterns than to God and I need to surrender that.

[Hewillcome]
