(How to) Hold onto God in the Wilderness Season | Waiting on God | Melody Alisa

[@MelodyAlisa]

hey, sis. as you can tell, this video really hits close to home. so let's chat - what's one way that God has comforted your during your storm? for me: friendships. as a parent, we plan things MONTHS in advance lol and it's been so sweet to realize that God KNEW I would need these play dates/ family hangs out. they've been the silver lining and highlights to my week. & the wives/ families my family is buillding relationship and community with is such an answered prayer, that I know is His provision of comfort.

[@cathy2142]

God has gone before me and goes with me now during a health chronic crisis that just had a severe set back. Our medical bills are provided for. My marriage is strong, our support system stepped up and my prayer life is growing❤. Health can be an idol. I am not promised health. Even paul had a thorn in the side. Though i bear this struggle I will praise God!

[@cathy2142]

Darling praying for comfort and strength for you during this pain you are feeling. ❤😢

[@Nii_sj240sx]

Leaning on him these past 8 months almost 9 months of the love of my life passing. & during this time of repairing my relationship with my Heavenly Father. The Holy Spirit is my best friend for sure bc when I battle my own thoughts, he has been amazing to me getting into the word & having the support of sisters in Christ to connect to when I feel like I’m drifting or feeling alone. ❤Praise the Lord for what he has done for me. He did give me a fellowship of women of all ages to be in my life online has been a blessing.

[@meesh1002]

It’s been several sermons that have spoken to me that it is detrimental to change the way I think. If you have thoughts that make you feel hopeless, it’s not from God.

[@makinniroberts8930]

My family and I are still in the season of waiting....last year I heard the sweet soft voice of the Lord in my sleep (after a night of crying myself to sleep) telling me that the crying will end and the dawn is coming...weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. It seems like the closer dawn gets the harder the trials are to distract me or discourage me....but I'm holding on to His voice...He's brought me too far for me to give up on Him now!!! ❤❤❤ HOLD ON FAM!

[@shavonfreeman]

Amen sis. God bless you and your family ❤❤

[@giftsofYAH76]

[@ChildofGod98765]

Needed this today! My testimony is one of faith. No matter what we are facing God will give us strength. As a single mother I’m overwhelmed at times raising two children with autism. I started homeschooling them last year so my hours to work are limited. I keep faith in Jesus even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. Lord please take away my fears because I’m constantly in fear of homelessness. But I STILL TRUST IN YOU. Please guide me and protect me through this hard period of my life I am facing. Faith over fear! ❤

[@jojoneth2875]

I usually don't comment but this! Sis, I know the feeling for I am in the same boat. I've been seeking employment for the past year and a half and to top off the icing on the cake I got my eviction notice on Monday! I refuse to concentrate on my current circumstances, easier said than done, but I am going to continue to seek God every day for He is the creator of everything and therefore in control of everything! His word states in Philippians 4:19, "But my God shall supply ALL your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Prayers for you and your family that God will continue to provide for all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus!

[@myranjeri3401]

I am in a waiting season.... And I did a 5 day fast, once I was done fasting, I felt so extremely discouraged and I remember not being able to pray for a whole day.... The next morning I woke up feeling completely lost and sad .. and I didn't know what to do....I went to work as usual and as I was sitting behind my desk trying to listen to a sermon or a gospel song or to recount previous blessing that I had received, and nothing seemed to lift my spirits, I just felt a nudge to go and pray. Immediately I was done praying and I got back to my seat, my sister... Who happens to be my colleague suddenly sends me paragraphs of encouragement in regards to fasting and praying... And I couldn't deny that was God using her to encourage my heart. God is Faithful, and he's always with us❤

[@litame3814]

Sis, when I say this message your transparency & Vulnerability just allowed me to wipe my tears… and know I am not the only one … so many are knocking, seeking opening the door to Jesus in Intentional prayer Right now ! I thank you Melody for reminding me I can come here and two or more can gather in prayer and pray for each other 🙏🏽 I am placing your family and you in prayer and on prayer wall. #GreaterisComing

I can feel your heart in this video. This year has honestly been the hardest year of my life where I feel like lofe had been throwing blow after blow and it has left me in a state of fear and discouragement but it had drawn me close to God even when I wanted to walk away. I've been finding comfort in his word, counseling, journaling, spending time with my family, your vidoes and even crying lol.

[@drjman2356]

You brought a Spiritual Tear to my eye - why? I am with you sis in Christ. YOU were my original person who brought me into Bible Studying rabbit hole 5 months ago when HE threw me into a Challenging Season - still there now. Thank YOU for bringing HIM to Light. Stay Strong Sis!

[@yacobazwennes6344]

Thank you so much Melody for your always timely message. I’m also going through it right now and am still waiting on God to come through. One Bible verse that comforted me recently is Psalm 56:8 - ‘You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book.’ This tells me that it hurts Him to see us go through the wilderness too, but He wouldn’t allow is to go through it if He didn’t mean it for our good and the good of His kingdom. Sometimes I try to be brave and hold the tears in to show God I’m trying to wait ‘well’, but this verse gave me the freedom to let out all my tears and grievances because He is collecting them all. I hope this helps you, Melody, and anyone reading this comment! ❤❤

[@MelodyAlisa]

PHEW that’s a good one!! Thank you for sharing sis

[@BabyBeyonce09]

I am currently in my season of waiting on God. It’s difficult, but God keeps dropping nuggets, like this video, to let me know He’s here and I need to be patient. Thank you for allowing your true feelings and raw emotions to be seen. Often times, others think that we have it all together. But deep down, I just wanna scream. I allow myself to be upset and I allow myself to cry. That doesn’t mean that I love God any less or that He loves me any less. That means I’m human and we all are going through it. His grace is sufficient. ❤ Thank you again, sis.

[@dib3dee]

For me I’m currently walking thru a extremely dark season and the way God has comforted me was every time I go on social media or KZbin there always inspirational videos in my newsfeed that speak directly to what I’m going thru, I mean to a T…… it’s like god using those videos and clips to speak to me.

[@akerasanders6032]

In my trials and when I’m feeling lonely or discouraged, He reminds me that He is with.

[@Linaebu]

Thank you so much not only for your obedience in the video but not editing out the fact that you are in this season. It gives us a believers to continue to pray for one another. So I am and will continue to pray for you during this season. As I too have been in all three a season of pruning, the wilderness, and being isolated. What you said is so true and God is definitely faithful and will see us through. We know that ALL things work together for Gods good! Romans 8:28 Lord I pray that you continue to cover my sister with whatever she is going through. I pray that you cover her and her household as she continues to serve you. I pray that she continues to draw closer to you and I pray that you fill her up as she puts into others. In Jesus name. Amen.

Be encourage Sis, I'm currently walking through my season and I have seen God show up in a form of a new friendship

[@jadeanndelossantos1049]

I want to say this video was very encouraging. I was just crying out to God about my finances and how I felt he was just watching me suffer. Watching this video reminds me of a time that God did come through financially earlier this year I was crying about my finances and then I walked outside of my house and then boom there was a whole $20 bill right in front of my house. Here recently I’ve been struggling and God gave me a dream about my bank account and how I had so much money in my checking account and my savings account. Although I may not see the fruit of that now I will see the fruit in due season. Praise God!

[@mikaylagraham1537]

He has used humor and reminded me to smile,even when I look at Him sideways 😂

[@chiquitaslenzz]

One way God has comfort me I was in a really sticky situation and loud as day, He spoke to me in my ear. Saying I got you baby girl and in that moment, I couldn’t understand how he had me, but now that I look back in hindsight, I see how he totally had me even through that uncomfortable situation. I’m so grateful and I’m so thankful. Thank you Father ❤

[@jenniferwest6990]

This video really hit home with me. I couldn’t stop crying. Currently, going through so much in my life. I keep praying and asking God for guidance and wisdom.

[@eterrialucien6554]

[@kaleyjoplinRAWRR]

I’ve been in my challegening season for some time now but I’ve grown closer to God. I can feel Him pulling out the weeds and planting new seeeds. I have to say though that it’s not fun and I’ve spent numerous nights crying but I trust and believe in God. ❤✝️

[@abelovedgirl]

One way that God comforts me is by showing me hearts, no matter where I am. Whether I'm angry or sad or confused or just tired, wherever I look when I'm searching for His comfort, I'll see a heart, big and small, obvious or not, in the clouds or trees; it'll be there. It just reminds me of His presence and to calm down and remember who He is. My God can do all things even when it seems like He isn't. I hope this helps someone. Jesus Loves You ❤❤❤

[@diaracampbell56]

[@irisnewman8480]

I have been going through a season of feeling overwhelmed by life’s daily challenges. Today I just felt like giving up. But God has comforted me by allowing me to run across this message that you shared 10 months ago. How amazing is that!!! Thank you for being here! Thank you for sharing, and please keep doing what you do! You have blessed me today! ♥️

[@stormjamielin2578]

I just stumbled across this video! It just so happens I’m doing a women’s Bible study on 40 years in the wilderness at my church as well! This video itself is a comfort to me! My husband and I have been struggling to get pregnant for the past year after a miscarriage. God has comforted me from that day forward! Just the other day I saw a rainbow and remember why God left that here for us and it reminded me of all of the promises He has kept and continues to keep. I also run into people whose journeys are similar and continue to tell me to not lose hope. All of these things are the never ending comfort He provides for me and will provide for anyone else! ❤️❤️

[@jarecacori2062]

God has sent so many people to speak life over me, to encourage me, to point out the good things about me. I really need that because I've experienced meaness from people who have allowed the enemy to use them.

[@luizadossantos1064]

God’s encouraged me through His word. I’ve started saving encouraging verses as my wallpaper to remind me that ‘if God said it, He WILL do it!’ He also has a way of sending the right people into my life at the right time. Praise God!

Just from the opening I loved your transparency. I lost my car, I’m going from being a massage therapist to working as a cleaner at the airport, no friends and living in a state I left because I couldn’t get comfortable but I found myself in this time getting close to God and living in his will for my life , it’s hard but I’m trusting him

[@sheilarichard4610]

When my daughter attempted to commit suicide, when my heart was broken from a situationship, when I felt like I didn’t want to live any more, the messy relationship with my family, the molestation, the death of family members, not feeling worthy, questioning God why am I here, the anger…. I can go on and on and God is faithful and he is always fighting for us to win victorious in His name. There is NO greater love than the love of the Father. He is Faithful. ♥️🙏🏽

[@daniellelantinflores6275]

Just last week, in the midst of letting go of the past and healing from heartbreak, God so clearly prepared a table for me, a feast. My friend made me dinner which was already such a blessing but in God’s abundance, she prepared sashimi, freshly caught. A true favorite of mine going back to sweet childhood memories and I see how much God knows me, loves me and sees me. ❤ Melody, I’m praying for you and the season you’re walking through.

God has comforted me with his promises, knowing who He is. He's a promise keeper and doesn't work in our timeline. He will do everything he said he will do.

[@016me]

I find comfort in knowing that God has seen it all, worked out the problems, and provided the blessings already. He is the answer before you have the problem. You just have to walk it out, to see what He sees. Take a deep breath, know the truth, and keep going. This is my day by day motto ❤

Thank you sis! God comforted me through your video. And as I was listening to you, I received a text with good news about my circumstances. God sent a double dose of comfort. This brought tears to my eyes. He’s definitely the God who sees and hears!!

[@BlackDiamond8724]

Hey Melody, thank you so very much for continuing to do these videos even in your trying times. I pray that your storm, test or trial you get through it. You certainly help me whenever I watch these. So, this entire year I feel has been a very tough one. I am going through a transition with my job and soon to be let go, the environment wasn't the best, but I wanted to try and hang on. I've struggled with love/relationships. Holding my family together and keeping them focused on how much God loves us and is already working it out while them dealing with mental and physical health challenges. I am reminded of God's comfort in the midst of everything when I come to youTube and find your videos and it is on something that my heart needs at the moment. How did God know that I needed a word on how to continue to hold on? Because he is God and he knows everything. The second half of this year I've been saying to myself... "Lord, I don't know what's next, but I trust you". The days could be worst, things could go in a further south way, but he still shows me that he is there. The dark times are never as dark as they can get. I hold on to whatever light I can find and I am grateful for that.

[@AndrewKriener]

Was in an accident, and I was comforted during the challenging time. And I am still comforted from the stresses of the new car not working, and possibly having to trade it in upside down.

[@jadeeerobeen5564]

A great reminder that we are living in a time blip and our true eternal home is with the LORD .

[@AaliyahReformed]

A time God has comforted me in a time of struggle was my first day back at college. I went from online to in person and my anxiety was getting the best of me. I was nervous and I felt alone in this new season of going back to school. God knew I was feeling anxious and alone and he reminded me that despite no one reaching out or acknowledging my first day back that he is always with me and he cares. I walked outside towards my car and that’s when out of no where it was like a hundred birds in the bushes and trees around me and the moment I turned the corner to my car they all flew up into the sky. It was such a beautiful sight and reminded me that God is always here for me even in my feelings of loneliness. After that I felt seen and cared for and it relieved a lot of my anxiety knowing I wasn’t walking into this new season alone. God is truly a God of comfort ❤🙏🏾🫶🏾

[@nikkic2710]

"Our sufferings is not a reflection of a heartless God" I know right..oftentimes I wondered off and catching myself asking if it wasn't for my Savior....WHERE WOULD I BE....I BLESS GOD...I GIVE HIM ALL PRAISES AND HONOR FOR HE DESERVES IT💯💯💯 .

[@iAmKayana]

Very much needed message!! When I'm going through everyday life and routines, sometimes struggles and sudden hardships makes life feel so heavy. But the joy of the Lord truly is my strength! To know my suffering is only temporary compared to eternity with HIM makes it easier to have and exhibit Heavenly ways and thinking. Its not a matter of it happening, its trying to figure out the "how" that gets frustrating sometimes. But God will make a way, as He always has.

[@justagirlwalkingonwater]

God's (Jesus) words are what comfort me in the hardest moments. Whether he speaks to me directly, through his word or a dream, these unique moments we've shared are what carry me through. I remember them whenever I am weary and close to giving up.

[@LAURIE0109]

I have been going THROUGH it. The year has been difficult but especially since September I’ve been in a tough season. Weeks ago I left a comment on someone’s video and random strangers gave me words of encouragement and I now know that was God’s comfort. I’m still struggling and it’s hard to find the resilience to just keep pushing but I want to see what God has in store. Jehovah-jireh, the Lord who provides, I’m still here! I’m doing my best Lord! 🙏🏾

[@Kris77777]

It's comforting to know that these trials and battles that people went through in the Bible were right before the biggest breakthroughs. The enemy is constantly trying to get us to be discouraged so we give up. But God comforted me personally by speaking a portion of a verse to my spirit in prayer. In the middle of a test I heard "don't let anyone steal your crown". That led me to Hebrews chapter 10 and 11. It gave me hope and clarity 💜🙏

God has comforted me through a storm by showing me that He sees me, and in that seeing He hears me. I remember this one time I was outside and I was thinking about how I wanted to see a butterfly because I think their beautiful and symbolic to transformation in one’s life.

What an on time word/encouragement… As we keep our eyes on the hills in this valley moment. Keep praying, fasting, seeking, praying 🙏🏾 May your valley moment be soon a victory on the mountain. What I do is take that energy (failing, sadness, and anxiety)to encourage someone else, let someone know you are grateful for them, surprise a coworker with a cup of coffee, tell someone they are beautiful. This shifts the atmosphere in ways you won’t believe. Love you

[@loriroberts6797]

I have been in waiting for a while. I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore and why was I here just to punish and hurt. But then I have been hearing God say. You didn’t go through that for nothing. You will cry no more. And it gave me a sense of comfort. I finally felt heard and like I wasn’t alone. God is good. He puts us through things to make us better and gives us so much more than we deserve❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@samarakaye2573]

My storm was living this new life after having understood everything I went through from childhood to adulthood. I had to deal with all these changes in myself (a shift in my values and priorities) and how it's affecting my relationships. Often, I would find myself getting tempted to abandon this new life. You were right, sis, "it's easy to get discouraged." Moving into this new 'home' in me seems pretty exhausting. I would often struggle and felt like giving up because of my attachments to the old. However, one way that God has comforted me is with the way how He is sending people each time I felt discouraged and tempted to quit. There was a time that God sent the kittens to my room in the middle of the night when it was hard to sleep. He sent my mom just when I thought I feel like no one would come for me. He unexpectedly brought me out in a cave of despair as my father and I spent time outdoors - which we haven't really done and which seemed impossible before. I was having such a hard time, like you, but there was never a time I felt like I was neglected because comfort would come in the storm. God had surrounded me with my family, friends and a partner that I found hard to be honest and vulnerable with. In this season, I was breaking through walls I've built around to protect myself when all I needed was love and support as I aspire to be more of what God wants me to be.

Once when I was struggling with feelings of loneliness and I was crying out to God an old friend called just to say "I love you". This was a friend who had never called me before or since. We only talk or text for a specific reason we don't usually chat on a regular basis. I knew at that moment that God heard me and that He loved me.

I never thought that the soldier like moments were preparing me for all that he’s destined to be. I just pray to be an ounce of the woman HES called for me to be.

I specifically came to you tube to search for something to tell me God is with me. I couldn't remember your name but I wanted to see one of your videos and somehow this video was the top one to pop up. I see you. And you validated me. And this was the comfort my heart needed.

I am definitely happy I was referred to this. I am going thru a very hard time and I just want to be back to normal. No truck, facing eviction and no job with 4 kids. I’m just trying to remain faithful and keep my head towards God.

Knowing that "nothing suprises God." When I go through hardships financially, spiritually, or even mentally, I know that he knows what I need. Another thing is having a daily gratitude journal (this is the best gift and first gift that I received after I gave my life to Christ). My mentor, spiritual mother in Christ told me to write line by line what I'm thankful 5 years ago and today, I still use it in every season with Christ.

Thank you God for our sister who has blessed my life since I’ve started following her with your messages. I ask that you be with her during this time of affliction and that you comfort her and bless her and her family all the days of their lives. Thank you Lord for your promises are always yes and Amen!

Going through a season where we have absolutely no income coming in. We both started buisness beginning of this year and it has been a year of loss and being in negatives. God has truly comforted us by providing rental assistance, food assistance, electricity assistance. And even school assistance. If we didn’t have any of those things. I would’ve stopped my business and gone back to work. But he’s called us both to these businesses and we know joy is coming very soon!

GOD has and is comforting me (during my struggles) by definitely giving me the strength and Faith in Him to not give up and also let things go enough to rest and direction to handle things as needed and reminding me of the good people and support in my life and to alllow them in as that is ok.... He will do the same for all of us we have to let Him in as our GOD and He will definitely show up and show out!!! GOD Bless us all! And thank you Melody for sharing !!!

[@tawandatate791]

He has given me a word through other people that i know could not have come through no one else but God.

Giiiiirllll! I had a full breakdown this morning about my hope for my marriage. God is faithful. God comforts me through praise and worship. It casts out all those spirits of heaviness and discouragement.

One way God has comforted or encourage me during my season is placing Gospel songs on my heart such as break every chain b Tasha Cobb, something has to break, I told the storm, imagine me, deliver me, and he has his hands on you. God has also placed real women and men of God who intercepts on me. God is so real.and he hears all of our prayers! Choosing Jesus was the best decision I ever made he found me in my dark place and I'm still in my storm but he is with me❤

[@traniece131]

God comforts me through rememberance of what he's already done for me.

[@carmenhayes8680]

Thank you for sharing your tears. That's beautiful for you to be so vulnerable. Hold on! I'm doing the same. I've had a year that I wasn't sure I wanted to be here anymore. But our GOD IS SO GOOD! HE SENT MY COMFORT. The comfort from within and new friends in my life . I praise His HOLY NAME. THANK YOU GOD. IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

[@carmenbyers3994]

[@TheSharmiyao]

This was so on time for me. Like you have no idea. I’ve had such a blockage in my faith for myself but can believe for others all day long. This is something I’m adding to my arsenal. You are def in my prayers girl. Sending you the biggest hug filled with love.

[@takiam6677]

Definitely going through a season of loneliness. And that’s ok, I am learning a lot, it gets lonely and tough at times but I know I will gain more from God. ❤
