How To Get Out Of A Spiritual Slump... *raw & honest*

[@kacinicole]

We don't force ourselves to show up to spend time with God because He is going to be mad at us if we don't, but rather because we recognize that we ourselves are going to be missing out unless we do 🙏🏼 comment below your thoughts on this topic or any encouragement you have if this is something you've gone through before too! 🤍

Love this perspective!

THANK YOU KACI

Thank you Kaci 🙂

I feel like when god gets angry it just reflects our inner sense of lacking Him - he doesn't leave us but we use pride as an excuse to blame him for his distance.

Take it to the holy spirit amen ✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏

I can definitely relate to the feeling of being closer to Jesus when we are experiencing difficulty. It’s so true that He is near to the broken hearted. I’ve heard it said before, that it’s almost worth having a problem to experience the comfort and help of Jesus in those times. When everything is good, it’s good- and I thank God for those times too. But there’s just something so special about His nearness in the difficult times.

@ifeelsoyy what’s so funny

[@KL9702.]

It's nice to know that it isn't only me. Logically you know that thinking it's only you is silly, however especially when you lean into depression, you start to feel like there is something wrong with you. God is good. I literally needed this at this moment.

[@AUTUMNCOX95]

24:25-25:20 is soooooo good. The more I don’t spend time with Jesus, the more I reveal my human nature. But the more I spend time with God, the more I reveal HIS nature in my spirit. It reminds me of Romans 8 and how the spirit and the body are always in conflict so that way we don’t “do what we really want to do.” Thank you so much for sharing this. I believe I’ve been in a slump just a tad so it’s comforting to know I’m not alone.💚

[@carigolden3866]

I needed this. I’m not even a minute in and I’m already crying.

[@beautyforashes23]

Thank you for this video Kaci. I’m going through a hard season right now and I was becoming overwhelmed trying to do it on my own. But I will choice to rejoice in this season. I can feel my dependence on God growing. Psalm 73:26 - “My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”❤️

[@kgomotsogwebu9537]

How I wish to avoid gossip at work. Thank you for all the videos. 🙏❤️

[@selenaware5024]

Also, when you were speaking of our struggle bringing us closer to Christ it reminded me of Paul writing in Romans about rejoicing in our suffering because it produces endurance, character, and hope. Our suffering makes us more like Christ. I always try to keep this reminder when I am in a season of struggle or suffering.

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Your faith is always so encouraging. God bless you, sister! 🤍

[@PixCreationsPhotography]

I'm so glad I found your channel, your videos have truly been a blessing. It helps knowing as a Christian that other Christians might be going through the same thing/season as you. 💕💕💕

[@carolinew6095]

When baby craves cookies, they get cookies! Kaci you look absolutely radiant! I really enjoyed and appreciated this video ❤️ I’m a clean as you go person ❤

[@HomeSweetPROJECTHome]

Thank you so much for this! I've been in a spiritual slump as well. I've been going through Galatians and reading so much gospel truth, but it's not "hitting" like it normally does. I don't really know why, but I have to remind myself that God's truths don't change based on my feelings. Also, I feel like God has opened my eyes this year to my true purpose, which is to know and ENJOY Him. Psalm 16:11 says there is fullness of joy in His presence. That was actually so freeing to me that my life isn't a mission of to-dos from God, but He just wants me to be content in Him. That was a blessing to this performance-addicted sinner.

[@JoanneSantana95]

Thank you! Praise & worship helps me to get back to God. If the fight is really intense (like it feels now) meditating on God's Word helps. I use the Abide app. I think scripture mentions to bring to remembrance what God has already done in your life. I do that as well. Gratitude journal helps. I'm also learning to be more patient with myself and others so I can have community. I was super hesitant since I've had bad experiences in the past. I haven't had a community to lean on for several years -- had to look online for bible studies in my area and came across a few ladies who really seem to be nice and patient. I was doing a lot on my own and I think that brought about a lot of heartache/confusion. Sometimes you just need someone to bounce ideas off with. :)

[@abbygarcia9102]

You can always be real with God, you can pour your heart to God, like David the Psalmist, he always told God what he was going through. He already knows and knows our needs. That verse in Psalm, "Be still and know that I am God," listening to God is super important, communing, communicating with God. Always remember He's all with need. God bless you Kaci and all ❤

[@nicholeleon3736]

❤ right on time. Thank you for your honesty. So encouraging. I’ve been in a hard season. Was single and a single mama for 7 years and was very much close to the Lord as I prayed for my Husband. I met and married my husband but after 4 years of marriage we divorced. The challenges of my marriage kept me so dependent on the Father. And now, post divorce I still am. I wonder sometimes if God wants us to run out of gas so that we are completely dependent on Him. 😊

[@andrewborden5508]

Can I recommend Dutch Sheet's book "Intercessory Prayer"? Amazingly invigorating for my prayers, inspiring me to pray more and to have those prayers be more effective, and most importantly it brings me back to God's character and His pursuit of us and how He wants to and works to build relationship with us. I go back to it often because it builds my faith to be active, present, and engaged in life right now. It's easy to get into a rut where it feels like we do the same things and pray the same prayers repeatedly and start to feel irrelevant. But through this book, God reminds me that He made us to be in an engaged, partnering relationship with Him that not only responds to current events, it works to proactively steer them in a Kingdom direction. And so many stories in it that make you go, "Wow, God!"

[@jenniferhernandez9307]

You are such a blessing sis, thank you so much. ❤

[@laurenamber8567]

Thank you so so much for making this video Kaci! It encouraged me so much and made me feel less alone. Also your dress is adorable! God bless you! 💛

Such an amazing,beautiful video...I know and understand how having boundaries on social media and phone is so so important 🤗🥺I learnt so so much from this as well...thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@jesseenixon]

Im having my baby tomorrow, my 3rd :) The sleepless nights will pass enjoy your precious baby, Gods blessing :) Congratulations. Im noticed a spiritual slump when I get pregnant. The hormones really kept me feeling distant just being sick and tired but I keep trying to do a bible study and pray even when I still feel distant because I want to and need to, he never leaves us so the least I can do is show up.

[@bryanmelton5538]

THANK YOU KACI I NEED THIS

[@AshleyHinken777]

I just found your account and I’m so thankful I did. It’s so hard to keep focused on Jesus.❤️

This means so much, thank you 🥰

[@pricillalast8333]

Thank you Kaci ❤️

[@DaughterofYah101]

25:00 So true. When we spend time apart from God our sinful self starts to come out and that always makes me so glad that Jesus saved me from that old me. That now I can know God intimately

[@breanaladnier4778]

Please make the social media boundaries video!!!

[@mondelarosa]

Thank you!!

I've been in this place for a while and have been struggling. thanks for these reminders!

[@BenMcleanhall]

I was really on fire for the Lord and I felt God has a great plan for my life over a certain point . And the enemy has bombarded me with stuff and struggling to get back on track with the Lord … and everything feels hard guys . The best way I can explain it is weak and crushed .

[@bluelily.]

How are you now ?

[@BenMcleanhall]

@@bluelily. hallelujah thr Lord has been SOOO good to me , I’m closer to the Lord than ever . Although you did just catch me at a moment when I sinned … but yes God has redeemed me and his faithfulness is up to Heaven

[@bluelily.]

@@BenMcleanhall Wow , that's awesome ! Can you explain how you came back to him i'm also struggling right now 😔

[@BenMcleanhall]

@@bluelily. God found me and brought me back to Him… he’s incredibly faithful… seek Him , I’ve learnt you are never too far gone . In what way are you struggling ? I can advise you further

[@bluelily.]

@@BenMcleanhall since a bit more than a year i struggle with spiritual apathy and therefore prayerlessness :(

[@ItsEverythingEuodia]

Thank you for this video Kaci. I think I’ve been in a spiritual slump for a couple of months too and this video was really helpful. May God continue to bless you, your husband and your child continuously. Continue to seek first the Kingdom and all its righteousness 🤍

[@koalachuchu]

Hi! I've been struggling with social media addiction for about a year now. I decided to put a time limit every single day (although I didn't accomplish it every day) I really wanted to know if 3hrs a day on social media is fine for me. I also decided that I'll put more time reading the bible more.

[@teniolaHomotayo]

Thank you for this ☺️☺️☺️

How funny…. I was legit putting cookies into the oven when you said that you were gonna do some baking 😆🤍

[@xokelseyxo9238]

You have such a beautiful soul and heart, Kaci. I am in a season of struggling with singleness. My best friend is married and my friends from childhood are preparing to get married. I find myself always asking, why not me yet? I am 29 years old and I still live at home. I get along so well with my mom and brother. I struggle with embarrassment of still living at home at my age. I always pictured myself either being engaged or married by now and living with my husband. I know everyone has their own timeline and journey but it is still a strong struggle of mine. Any advice?

[@BenMcleanhall]

Hi there , Kaci did a lot about the season of singleness on her other videos - that should really bless you

[@TriciaRP]

@@BenMcleanhall I am 47 and messed my life up and got into a mess dealing with other people and lost everything born again and wasn't paying attention to what was going on. Need help back and restoration. I didn't understand SPIRITUAL REALM and let family and my flesh Deceive me. I don't want this and mess up. I hate I wasn't honest and stay still lies and sifted.

[@Bleu-en2bf]

Thank you. How often should I read the bible and devotionals?📖

[@mavhunter8753]

I'm the opposite. I don't feel closer to God when I'm in slump. I feel angry with God. I know this isn't right, but its true.

[@averiezurkowski2619]

I clean as I go

[@daniellekramer93]

I don’t even go on social media as much as I used to. I only post when I post like memories or I post the verse of the day. I will also post happy birthday to people too. Otherwise I won’t go on.

[@maryngugi8155]

This is something am currently into and I feel lonely and lost and you've really helped. God's time is always best am new sub. can you be my friend?

[@marthafenco1356]

[@OhIThinkNot777]

Kaci, Remember your pregnancy can cause your emotions ( hormones) to fluctuate. You may " think" you're in some kind of slump but it's not so. P.S. Stay aware also of the possibility of a post partum depression. It's gonna be ok You are normally so spiritually strong, why now? I hope this helps you. Exercise as you can , that will also help. 💕🌼✨🙏☺️

[@mandy9288]

How do u know that God is real?

[@HazelKaliati]

Through Jesus

[@bryanmelton5538]

ESPECIALLY THE COOKIES HAHAHA LOL

[@selenaware5024]

“Anything good in me is Jesus” amen, amen, amen. Such a beautiful reminder. He is our good. 🤍 Also, just this week I told my husband that my goal is to pick up my Bible before my phone every day to get myself back into the habit of God first before all else. I’ve been slacking too in the area of seeking him FIRST instead of sometime else in my day. I know it doesn’t necessarily matter when we go to him but there is reverence in putting him before all things and oh how he rewards our reverence to him with more wisdom and knowledge of who he is. Thankful for communities like this one where we can edify one another.

[@Lucy.S145]

This will bless others. Thank you for this!🤍
