[@philanimkheswa6983]

I thank God because it turned out that most of these methods l have actually been using them to meditate and it is the holy spirit himself who taught me...

[@kavettahulse]

I am so excited for Continue. Cant wait. Also for the read with Anna summer reading plan. I never knew how to meditate on scripture so thanks so much for this.

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Thank you so much Kavetta for your support. You are a blessing

[@angelamaine1270]

Thank you Anna. Through the YouVersion App stories I learnt about meditation and how to do that daily especially in the morning. I honestly didn’t have the idea on how I could do that so thank you for your clear explanation. Thank you a lot. Much love for your work

[@shoppingismycardi0]

Yay! SO EXCITED for Continue.

[@AnnaWillemstein]

[@tracybingham7739]

Thank you Anna! I’ve always wondered if I was meditating on scripture the “right” way. I love that you give such practical applications on living the Christian life. I am also looking forward to your devo!!!! It sounds amazing! And the reading plan too! I need direction in my Bible reading so it will be so helpful. I find lately I’m doing more devos than real reading and studying of the Word.

[@AnnaWillemstein]

You are so welcome Tracy

[@LovedHappy]

Ahh I love the NLT voice on you version too! Haha it’s so good

[@bellex05]

So blessed by your videos, Anna! 😄❤

[@AnnaWillemstein]

thank you very much for letting me know Cassandra

[@averym2482]

Thank you, Anna! What's your absolute favorite verse? I like Phillipians 3:14, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Hey Avery, you are so welcome! My absolutely favorite verse?? That's so hard lol! But probably Luke 1:45 - "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished." This verse was spoken about Mary when she chose to believe that what God told her would happen in her life would actually take place. I want to do that! I want to believe God and live my life like that! That's an awesome verse you chose, too! I need strength from the Lord this week to accomplish several important tasks in preparation for Continue, so I receive that reminder of that verse from you for encouragement and strength! Thanks girl

[@lmahwikizi]

As I am making plans to homeschool my kids I am meditating on this scripture: 14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,[e] 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.[f] 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3: 14-19 NLT

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Nicole, what an AWESOME verse to focus you for homeschooling!!! I loved reading through those verses with homeschooling in mind. It gave me such a fresh take on that passage. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and strengthen you as you prepare to educate your kids! I pray they grow smart, strong, healthy, wise, and kind under your loving instruction

[@Fitty]

❤️👍 love this Anna! So important!

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Thanks so much!:)

[@livingunashamed4869]

Typing it out is nice as well. Scripture typer app has been so helpful.

[@AnnaWillemstein]

I personally like writing but then I like paper planners instead of google calendar, etc :) must be a personality thing!

[@chooseabundance7313]

Great, great ideas! I've done some but I don't think I've been as intentional as I'd like. Will use your ideas. Thank you!

[@blythehowell2357]

Hi Anna! I have recently switched up my devo game and started writing out the chunk of scripture I’m working through. It’s been so good for intake and really makes me feel connected wit the Holy Spirit. It does take a little longer, so I’ve struggled doing it daily, but thank God for grace! 💛 after I write it out I’ve just done an analysis & application before praying. Nice and simple. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@AnnaWillemstein]

First, I love your name! Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books and Gilbert Blythe was the man of my dreams as a child lol. Thanks for sharing how you're doing devo time! My friend Tiffany from One Fab Teacher on KZbin is doing something similar with scripture writing for devotional purposes. Thanks for watching and commenting:)

[@blythehowell2357]

Haha thank you! I like it too. It’s unique but not crazy out there! I’ll have to check her out! 😘

[@dimensionexo.]

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing

[@ylkabicasan2522]

Thessalonians 4:6 "that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, BECAUSE THE LORD IS AN AVENGER ON THIS THINGS,as we told you beforehand and solemnly warn u" I just recieved this after being angry at people for no reason, it's a good reminder that I don't have the right to get angry at my brothers for God will avenge them 🤣❤️❤️ ...edit: an Yes I'm aware that i might have taken this out of context but yeah at least it gave me a reminder

[@A96B6]

I excited about the continue devo!!! This is the verse God showed me this week that stood out. Joshua 1:9 NASB Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

[@A96B6]

Not only does God give us a secure and everlasting identity in Him. He also calls us to be strong and courageous. We may not feel courage in the face of opposition, conflict, redicule or death but never forget friends that God is with us always and nothing can separate us from Him.

[@AnnaWillemstein]

awesome verse!! I actually needed to hear that this morning. I need the courage from God to do what He wants me to do right now. Thank you for sharing that verse! And thank you for sharing with me your excitement for Continue

[@75phthya]

Hi Anna I really love that you have put together and explained the several ways to meditate. They are all very effective as I have used them all. Wanted to ask what is the best way to choose scripture to meditate and study daily. Early in my journey I would just open my bible and where it opened is where I studied. I know this really isn’t the best way what do you suggest?

[@abigaildzvimbo3815]

Thank you 🔥

[@adeniyiobalowose3522]

Things that I have used from your list are listening to Scripture that helps when I am struggling to sit down and actually read and I look it up in other versions. Hi Anna!! 🖐🏻 You always make me smile when you mention me in your videos!! I love the comment section on your videos! We have such a great little community here on your channel!! Love you!!

[@catherinesodowsky2636]

Hayley P hi hayley. I love her channel too she is so nice. I learn so much from her.

[@hayleyp3770]

Hey Catherine I am so happy to have gotten to know Anna even if it's only through KZbin and Instagram. I am also glad that I could talk with others in the comments as well. She is so helpful and I love that she genuinely cares about the people who watch her and always does her best to reply to comments. I love her passion for the Lord and how she shares that so openly!

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Cheridan that is SO FUN that you are going to be a Bible camp counselor! Youth camp was my absolute favorite time of the year when I was a youth pastor!! I miss it a ton. Have some fun for me, will you?:) And to answer your question, yes. definitely. Do you need me to email it to you today? The video isn't going up till June 2nd and I will post the entire summer reading schedule in that video but if you leave before June 2nd, just email me at [e-mail] and I will send you the plan early!

Hi just came across your videos and found it really helpful! Can you put a link to the Youversion app you mentioned here. I see so many similar ones in the play store. Thanks. God bless!

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Hey there! I tried to figure out how to link from the play store in this comment and it didn't work out for me, but I did put the ICON for the correct app in the video (it's called YouVersion and the icon is a brown square with golden letters). I hope this helps and I wish I could do more!

What scripture do you recommend for someone who is desperately in need of a job?

[@vondabryant3842]

💘

[@AnnaWillemstein]

[@GlamourGirls02]

I would love to hear more about why you don't think meditating isn't a good idea? I sometimes do it to quiet my heart and mind before praying and then doing a Bible study if I've had a busy day but I'm curious your thoughts about it!

[@AnnaWillemstein]

Sure thing! I have it on my list of upcoming videos!!

[@ceceliaschulze4255]

While your meditating on scripture do you focus on breath? Many thanks 🙏

[@latishajamerson2571]

Ok , so with mediating do I need to say a scripture over and over in my head so it can get in my heart! I’ve been doing this and it’s really hard.

[@RubyOpheliaQuinn]
