How to find room to breathe + “pray without ceasing"

[@fmcla]

I love the idea of your soul catching up. In college, I heard a story about an old Indian man taking a long train ride for the first time in his life. When he got to his destination, he got out of the train and sat on his luggage on the platform for a while. The attendant came to ask him if he needed help and his reply was that he was waiting for his soul to catch up :) The story still comes to mind very often.

[@debbiewood4560]

Beautiful Diana. Thank you again. I always feel "my soul catching up" when I listen to you. Such a blessing. Be blessed Diana as you go about your weekend. xx

[@rachaelb1868]

Yes to everything you say! I used to pour through my mental "to do" list on the hectic traffic-laden drive to work, while making calls and listening to the news. Last month, I decided to take the time during the commute to pray out loud. I arrive at work relaxed and in a calm state of mind. Taking these moments to pause has changed my entire day. Thank you!

[@DianaKokku]

Wow, this is so good, thank you for sharing! Many blessings 🥰

[@cynthiafisher9907]

“I’m grateful for the ways I contribute in this world.” I would have never thought to be grateful for that. Thank you. You contribute a lot of iron that sharpens my iron.

[@kathyschieb6686]

You truly are amazing. You glow when you talk about the Lord. Thank you again and always for taking us in for a little while each week.

[@abbyroseboom8847]

I don't normally commit on KZbin videos but just wanted to say your videos are a great devotion time for me while I am at work. When I don't make time with God in the morning I know I can count on your wonderful preaching of God's word during the day. Thank you for using your gifts God has given you! 💕 You and your sister are wonderful people and youtubers. I get so much out of each of you.

[@pamboatwright8281]

Diana, you are a breath of fresh air! Thank you!

[@dianelafontaine]

Each day we have to be reminded...Thank you for reminding me to stop for a minute to pray without ceasing,

[@debdobrosky8139]

Thank you Diana!! God has given you a gift to communicate to us His Word with explanation and understanding:)!! 🙏✝️🙏

[@kristengoose]

I watch my KZbin in alphabetical order. Having you right after Daily Disciple has been a game changer for my mornings. Thank you so much for what you are doing.

[@bonniewoodard2771]

We especially appreciate 'how' you share ... with Joy, happiness, enthusiasm and Love ! we thank you from here 💕

[@jodyvandyke8771]

when I had an office job I used his app with the alarms and reminders. thank you for the refresher to pause ! and for the reminder to put the baggage at His feet.

[@rebeccarayfield3870]

How freeing! "I give everyone and everything to you, Lord." I'm committing to do the one minute pause and to this prayer! Thank you, Diana, for sharing ❤

[@kathyschieb6686]

There is an app for this as well. Will give you reminders

[@kfeedy5569]

I can’t wait to try this at bedtime. I carry the stress and weight of the world on my shoulder as an empath. I have such a hard time sleeping as I replay all the information I’ve read and seen during the day. If I repeat Jesus, I give everyone and everything to you over and over to release all of that I feel I will be able to slow down and sleep. Thanks as always Diana. 🙏🏻

[@shellyjay8954]

I downloaded that book “Get Your Life Back” from my library. I devoured it. The book is sensible, biblical, practical, easy to read and easy to understand. I’m going to read it again slower and write down some points that spoke to my heart and soul. Thanks for introducing this book.

[@liap1293]

Such wisdom. A transition pause minute. I like it.

[@hislivelystone]

I love your dress! It’s so pretty and flattering. 😊 Thank you for the spiritual encouragement.

[@natashyas4149]

1 min in transition : Jesus, I give everyone and everything to you

[@ice-mp5dx]

I got John Eldredge's Audible book and listen to it over and over.

[@aimeeontheharp]

Thank you, Diana! I keep meaning to watch your videos, but feel like I need a "perfect minute" to be able to do it... but today, I just thought, "Just do it. Even a couple minutes of it will probably be helpful." I'm so glad I watched this video. I knew it would be exactly what I needed!

[@1ptipton]

I love John E. Book. I would have never read it, if you and your sister had not recommended it. Thank you for that. Another part of the book I go back to several days a week is the Daily Prayer at the end of the book. It is so powerful and focuses my soul back on Jesus. Thanks for the video and blessings!

[@conniesoares157]

Your talk was really good and the book was too! Thank you for the simple reminder to pause one minute and pray.

[@sheilak4493]

I am so thankful you are sharing with us !!!

[@sharonf8188]

Your videos are adding such value to my life! I love your themes of deep faith and living well.

[@jessical.5391]

Your video reminds me of the movie "The War Room". I haven't made room in my closet, yet, but love the idea. Thank you for the reminder! Blessings.

[@stillhere6436]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom 📖❤🕊☝️🙌👑 May the LORD continue to Bless you, your marriage, your family and HIS ministry that HE'S entrusted to your care. 🙏❤🕊

[@darlahkelley9800]

Thanks for Prayers & Blessing you 🙏Pray for us 🇺🇸 Diana

[@MissJuliesMontessoriMinutes]

Thank you! This really impacted me. I am always mindful of how to make transitions for my students easier and less stressful. I'm committed now to implement your teaching not only to develop a habit of prayer throughout the day but I see how this will reduce the stress of my own transitions. I really need to build this habit as a current project requires more of my morning quiet time (before family wakes up) which has been my prayer/scripture time for years. A new season, new habits!

[@judyebell7548]

Happy Saturday!

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Lovely.. soothing and I am thankful! ❤️

[@fionnualasparksman5688]

[@donnastrong2007]

Thank you for your wisdom and peace you give me each week!

[@junesammy-robidoux2305]

Diana this was confirmation to what my husband and I was talking about tonight. God is good and He is in the driver's seat of our family's life. Amen.

[@jennysok8320]

It was a blessing to take a moment to listen to this.

[@lucygale336]

[@Nekobuddy]

I love how you make it practical! Your channel is such a blessing!

[@kierstyv9241]

This is so helpful, thank you Dianna, I have incorporated the Bible Recap study into my daily routine to read the Bible consistently and you have been so helpful in sharing your tools to grow in my Christian walk. I am going to work on the daily pause and give God more of me throughout the day, this is doable.

[@mae12183]

I know you're sort of suggesting a step away from screens, but I wanted to share that John Eldredge did create an app for his pauses. I believe it's simply called 'One Minute Pause'. I've found them helpful, but also like the idea of a phone free transitional pause. Thank you for your videos!

[@shannonjohnson2405]

I look forward to your videos. I learn so much from you. Thank you!!!

[@tammycobaugh276]

I agree, Eldredge’s book is excellent

[@DianaKokku]

Ahh haha... I’ve been spelling his name wrong this whole time. I hope he will forgive me. I love these humbling moments. Thanks for your comment and many blessings 🥰

[@kathyschieb6686]

I think they should let us like more than once!

[@helenmak5663]

I have a good life and blessed by God in many ways, but I don’t have the energy to pray unceasingly. Seeing what is happening to our country, deteriorating in all directions, really hurts me! Is God delivering us soon?

[@kristinolan7240]

I am LOVING your channel ❤

[@rosiehoy4736]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@karenwalters2919]

This was very timely for me as I’ve been trying to find ways to do just that- take a minute here and there to reconnect with our Lord. I’ve also been thinking of the Holy Spirit and what “his/ her” purpose is . Can you address that, please? Thank you , I am semi new to your channel and find it soooo helpful!!!💙😁

[@natmichelle]

Diana, have you read The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry? It speaks a lot of wisdom that agrees with what you said here. If you haven’t read it, you should check it out :)

[@peggylindstrom6326]

Selah!

[@itsrach08]

👏🏼❤️

[@norinehanson4117]

Do you speak in tongues?

[@ElsieJoy39]

You don't have to be tied to your phone, you don't have to be on social media, you don't have to be glued to your screens 24/7. That is your choice. Your choice to put them before God. Your life won't come to an end of you ditch the social media, switch off the phone. ,

[@lindamcadarra402]

Diana did I miss an announcement? Are u pregnant? Hope so!! Xo

[@DianaKokku]

I was waiting for someone to ask... nope, just an unflattering dress 😂 Lol... love and blessings 🥰
