In studying this passage I realized I’ve been trying to do things my own way when it comes to rest…or lack thereof. It’s a very busy season with a lot of exciting things happening - continuing to get settled into our new home, all the birth and baby prep, wrapping up deadlines for some big projects. Rather than submitting to God’s call to rest and accepting my limitations, I’ve been pushing those boundaries. But it only ends up hurting me! I realized God is allowing me to run into “roadblocks” to get me to submit to His way even though it feels counterintuitive. Surrender is what will actually lead to freedom. 🤍 Looking forward to reading your answers and reflections in the comments!

Thank you for sharing this video it’s very convicting and helpful for growth. I feel like this passage and how it relates to my circumstances means that God is trying to strip away my sin and teach me to grow in Him and to grow in kindness and love and grace towards others even if they hurt me. To love those who hate me and to grow in Christlikeness and maturity. I’ve lost a lot of Bible knowledge due to memory loss but I’m praying God restores this so I can grow in maturity again. Life has been hitting me hard but I know that God had a purpose in it. He wants me to rest in Him and to grow and to learn to put away my old self and that these trials are for my good to strengthen me and to make into a better person. The person He wants me to be. To trust Him that He will always take care of me and that He has the final say. To teach me to love people and to change my heart.

6 years ago my aunt was killed, she was like a mother to me. This event caused me to spiral, it affected my interactions with others, struggles in my marriage, my views on life and ultimately abandoning my faith. I’ve survived but it changed my heart. Two months ago I felt the Lord pulling on my heart, waking me up and since I pursued my faith again, so many things have shifted for me. It’s not always easy and I struggle at times. My husband and I differ on having children, but I am leaving this in God’s hands. I know he’s hard work for my life, I am so very thankful and I trust in Him. It definitely can be very trying and exhausting.

I prayed nearly daily for 8 years for God to deliver me from the state I was living in. I hated it and never had peace in my soul while living there. Finally, when I was just about ready to go back home to my state I grew up in, God moved. It was the longest 8 years of my life.

this really related to my situation because I'm realizing that God is calling me to be still and know that He is God and lately I just haven't been doing that because I find it hard to just be still. I want to be able do something. Also I think God is calling me to a place of repentance and surrenderance. Thank you for posting is video!

I’m 23 and have been dealing with chronic fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, along with mental health issues for a couple years now. I have tried every avenue possible that I thought the Lord would want for me to seek healing. Recently I’ve had a couple months where He’s allowed me not to work. I have an amazing job that He orchestrated for me to start on August 26 but I have yet to see improvements in my health. I’m believing that there’s still time and God didn’t orchestrate this ‘hard to get’ job that takes months to come to fruition with so many moving parts just for me to not be equipped to perform it. I’m believing that things will get better and clinging to Him every day.

Praying for you! I read this quote, if God brings you to it, He will lead you through it. Just like God didn’t remove the sea for the Israelites, but instead, He parted it, is the same way that sometimes our problems/pain/tiredness may not go away, but our trust in Him grows more and more. This is something I’m learning myself, and seeing God teach me to surrender everything to Him. I’m twenty one and also dealing with things right now, feels like things are piling up one after another, and facing a few serious decisions. Many times I don’t know what to do, but I know that God does. He has plan for me and for you, He will lead you through. Just hold onto Him always, and when things get tough, look back and count all the mercies and ways God has already helped you. May God bless you, praying for you.❤️❤️🙏

Thank you Kaci. Just read your newsletter yesterday and it was so encouraging. Definitely praying for you and baby girl. Thanks for this video. I feel like God might be calling me to take a life altering directing step in the next season of my life. He has guided me through one already but ive been holding on tightly to the answered prayer and its demotivating me more than building me up. What comforts me is knowing that its all part of His bigger plan, even if I can't see it now. Today, I repented for having selfish desires, and I cried and felt an emotional surrender to God to take the wheel. Please be praying for me, that I'll trust Him, especially when its scary and doesn't make sense.

I'm so grateful God put this on your mind to share. Something happened to me last week which was horrible. I prayed about the situation and told God I wanted to get a new job. He told me to "Be still". The situation hasn't improved so everything in me tells me to "do something!" but I know the right thing to do is be obedient during this time. Thank you for sharing this content with us.

This is a very interesting question, how many times with harden hearts is it our will or God doing it? I believe it says God hardened Pharohs heart. This is a weighty issue I know I asked a pastor at my church and this is his reply- will. A verse that comes to mind is Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; I think that we are supposed to do all that we can to have a soft heart and not allow any bitterness to creep in. An encouraging verse for the believer and a sobering verse for the unbeliever is 2 Peter 2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,[a] and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment I just wanted to share that ❤!! Keep up the great work!

Throughout my life lately, God has been redirecting me, using specific things in my life to turn me back to His will instead of my own. I’m realizing that some things God tells us aren’t final, but a piece of a bigger puzzle that we don’t always see or understand. So, I’m surrendering today and God willing, I’ll do the same tomorrow because God is showing me that His will as well as His perfect timing is what’s best for me and really, what’s best for all of us. I hope this encouraged someone to trust God and His plans today! 🩷🩷 Also, thank you Mrs. Kaci 💗💗💗

@@earlyu77 a wise counsel biblically sound from a church elder or a friend helps too but it is going to be a journey together as led by the God otherwise it can burden the other person & at times they are unavailable which does create misunderstandings too. One has to work with the Holy Spirit to overcome difficult times and God is actually enough but having someone to walk during this time encourages and helps us to see our issues too, most of the problems we go through has to do with our emotions.
