How to Seek God & Actively Fight Sin (even when super busy)

[@carolynelarrubia2544]

Hi, Ash! I usually don't comment, bc I don't feel very confident with my English (I'm Brazilian), though I can understand everything you say. But today I felt the need to do it. I've been watching your videos since 2019, my first year of college. Today, I'm graduated and married, and I see how much you and Taylor have made a difference in my spiritual growth over the past few years. I can't even count how many times I was frustrated with my spiritual inconstancy and you helped me to once again to abandon my idols and surrender before the Lord. You are an inspiration to me, I love your ministry and have been praying for you. God bless you, know that your work makes a big difference and that the Holy Spirit has used you in a beautiful way! ❤

[@cruznsuzn6644]

Didn't realize I was a control freak until I had kids, then came the anxiety! Almost ruined our vacays too. So much to worry about with kids, the pets. I regret not leaning on God & scripture. My kids are now in college, and I'm finally learning how to let go of worry, it's a struggle now with new worries of them away! You are a great mom! Give yourself breathing room. God has your back, I know you know this.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you soooo much friend!! I’ve got a lot of room to grow and learn! God is with me :)

[@ariana-rose-bibletime]

Your consistent efforts to prioritize God while balancing work, wife, and mom life is encouraging, you're doing such a great job! Good luck on your vacation!

[@allier.9193]

Thank you for being real. I struggle with everything you said. I compare. I worry I ruin everyone’s time. I have had severe panic since I had kids. My oldest is 6. It’s only gotten worse and I just pray to be free from this so I can enjoy these gifts from god

[@tracyw5743]

I have terrible anxiety about vacations too. I get nervous being on planes, I get the icks about shared spaces and I always want everyone to get along. This is the first time I’ve heard someone be honest about that. Vacations have always been stressful for me.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Yes - you are not alone in that!!!

[@PricelessJesus]

I have a car but only do local trips 😢 x panic disorder

[@rileyjoyly3950]

I'm a "control freak" with emetophobia so I relate a lot to you even though I'm still a teenager. Thank you for all you do Ashley! I'm so happy that you are back on KZbin

[@coffeeandbibletime]

I have the same thing. You are not alone at all. I'm sorry. It is so hard! I find comfort knowing that God is with me and I have hope that in heaven we won't have to suffer in this way. Praying for you friend!

[@MsFasista]

Ashley , Remember this always : I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENS ME ! Blessings and ENJOY the Goodness of God !😊

[@kathleengill1273]

Prayer, reading the Bible, listening to quiet music, are what we need. Any time spent with the Lord (even if it's only quiet time in thought talking to Him in our one way conversation) can help us release the rush and prepare our hearts and minds for what we have to do. Sometimes I talk to Him when I'm putting make up on or when I get in the car to drive somewhere. We're all busy so I really enjoyed this today Ashley. Things can get so hectic that we forget to simply talk to the Lord. Thank you for this today! I hope you have a very nice trip...enjoy it!🙏🎵

[@coffeeandbibletime]

I totally agree. Life gets hectic and we forget to seek Him! Thank you friend!

[@tiffanyrojas1148]

Loved this video!!!!!!❤❤❤

[@4Him7]

Thank you, Ashley, for being transparent with your life. I am struggling with controlling things, people, and being mad 😠. I got so mad yesterday I skipped evening service . I didn't really have a reason to be mad it was just a spirit that came over me, and I got disgusted with everyone in my presence. I listened to a sermon today "why you nad??" 😂 perfect for me and I have to pray to have more of Christ nature 🙏

[@yanezcs]

God is so good!! I’ve been asking Jesus to help me to “let go of the fear over my kids” I have older children and I just want to keep them home at all times! We have lost their father to cancer when they were younger and I know that losing their father has a lot to do with me wanting to keep them close to me. I just pray for this fear to go away. I know the Lord is protecting my babies. I am just fearful 😭. Thank you Ashley for being vulnerable. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family💜

[@dekka213l]

Wow!!!! I recognize the voice but I did not know anyone had a baby!!!!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

haha yes I had a baby :)

[@theambitiouschic]

I was thinking the same thing! I’m so behind but congratulations on the baby ❤️💕

[@kaylin1615]

I usually don't comment on youtube, but just wanted to thank you for being so vulnerable and open about your struggles. I have and still can struggle with control, pride, and other things you mentioned and have felt the weight of it all for so long. It is nice to realize I'm not alone in those struggles, and I don't have to allow guilt, shame, or condemnation to put placed over me because of these struggles. I've struggled with being anxious over the fact that I have these struggles and feel like I shouldn't feel these certain ways, when in reality I'm just human and the Lord realizes that. He's daily working in those areas, and it's okay that it's been a battle. Just thank you again.. It helps knowing I'm not alone!

[@whentwobecomejohnson]

Love this video. It’s inspired me to start sharing my quiet time to keep myself accountable. I always have the excuse of “I don’t have enough time in the day” to spend time with Jesus. And it’s such a toxic habit that’s difficult to break.

[@whentwobecomejohnson]

And yet I spend about an hour a day doom scrolling on social media…

[@JessicaCerecedaFaria]

Thank you so much for this video, for you vulnerability! It’s beautiful to see God in the ordinary day to day! ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

You are so welcome!

[@Laura_toggsgirls]

I like your coffee and Bible time

[@wheelchere]

I would encourage you to be super transparent with your hubby too and tell him how your feeling. Pray together about it

[@karenrivera4751]

So I noticed that you rise before your baby gets up and you have time for Bible study that’s absolutely amazing😮❤ when I get married I want to be diligent like you

[@iritvyskocilova6155]

It was very encouraging thank you❤

[@iristerhorst598]

thank you soooo much for being honest & vulnerable. it’s so good to know I’m not the only one going through this, and also to learn from you! I know how difficult it can be to deal w anxiety & wanting to control. thank you for sharing your journey. I pray for you

[@taylorgrant8550]

Thank you for opening up and sharing! I'm having some of the same struggles right now. Motherhood, full-time job, fighting sin, anxiety, pride... I understand how you're feeling, Ash! You're in my prayers. ♡

[@coffeeandbibletime]

You are in my prayers too! ❤️❤️ You are doing amazing mama

[@vilmas441]

So motivating. Thank you for taking the time and effort to record this and being real. I have a 9 month Old and only until now I feel like I'm getting my grove back back but for the next baby i will remember we could adapt with God in any season

[@ashleytunny]

Wow I need that pep talk. I get into the same cycles with my job that I get frustrated so much when things aren’t going “my way”. Every single Wednesday is so hard for me. I get so negative I know I can’t be a good time to be around and listening to myself complain-I start annoying myself with it. Such a great reminder to seek the Lord and really be diligent and disciplined in prayer about it. Thanks for sharing and being honest. So helpful!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you for your honesty too!! ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕

[@roseofsharon6408]

Thank you so much for this. I am battling my on sins/addictions and it is such a struggle to let them go. Please pray for me that I can have a breakthrough in my life. 🙏

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Praying for you now! I promise you are not alone! "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up" (James 4:10) God is with you and will strengthen you!

[@roseofsharon6408]

Thank you! I will jot this scripture down. ❤️

You are very special, the way you express your deepest anxieties and fears is so relatable and of course leaning on God is what we need to do and it is so humbling. Bless you for being authentically YOU!

[@tatadiaz7606]

God Bless you thank you for sharing. I suffer from chronic fibromyalgia and back pain from two surgeries and I suffer from anxiety from chronic pain. You describe exactly how I feel. I’m a mom of 4 and one grand baby and their stress and financial difficulties is starting to take a affect on my health that’s not good so Thank you 🙏 so much you have a beautiful God Heart .

[@setmylifetomusic]

Hello Ashley! I to am a control freak. Had this conversation just the other day. Because we really have no control over anything in our life. The only control we have is over ourself. Intentional is my word for this year coming 24-25. I’m so glad I’m not the only one that gets stressed out on grocery day. I have to order groceries online because I don’t have a car. Its stressful! I surrender myself to THE LORD and come into agreement with HIM and ask HIM to make the changes in me where people see HIM in me and not the world. Because try as I may to do the right thing and say the right things I fail 7 out of 10 times but THE LORD HE never fails.

[@thunderrode1744]

[@mmmmlllljohn]

Usually, without fail, I would get a migraine the first night away and sometimes into the next day. I think it was just being out of my routine in which I found solace I guess. You are so real and honest and we appreciate that because we are all struggling with something. I hope you have a lovely vacation. Your little guy is adorable - love the wild hair and his chubby little arms and legs. ❤️🇨🇦🙏

[@luckyfriend82]

Food and money also!! I needed to hear this.

[@ildaenoch8629]

Ashley thank you for being real and honest. This has help me to see what I’ve been struggling with in this season of my life, I need to surrender to Jesus. I’m going to join y’all September in the Psalms. God bless you and your beautiful family. Love and prayers 🙏🏼❤️

[@dawnzy4400]

I loved this video Ash!! ❤🤗

[@hnobody339]

This was an immediate answer to my prayers. I have been very anxious and fearful lately. It is something I struggle with and I am so sick and tired of it. I've prayed about it and today I was crying to the Lord again to give me peace and to give me people who could help me. And then right after that I opened KZbin and saw your video. You shared a lit of thoughts I've had. Thank you for being open. You encourage me in this fight. Let's fight the enemy together and not let him steal our joy and peace in Christ. We can fight because Jesus has won! He is our peace and with him all things are well.❤

[@rubylight4019]

Really enjoyed your video! I was having a hard day so it's nice to see you being real and honest about your own life and sin struggles.. Feeling a little better now after watching.

[@pearlqhina541]

I relate to this so much because I overthink so much and sometimes I feel trapped in my thoughts so I’m really going to try this❤❤

[@JasmineRose2005]

Thank you for this much-needed video, Ash! ❤I've been caught in the trap of worry, stress and idols lately and I don't want to live in that anymore. That is such a powerful prayer, "God, help me -- I need You"! It's so simple yet so, so, so profound! Thank you & God bless you! ❤

[@millaoikari805]

Wow Ashley, I feel you. I'm also such a control freak and not nice person at all when I get into that mood and level of anxiety. I think for me the root of it is unsafety which causes untrust and that causes need to control etc... because in the past, in my childhood I needed to do things on my own, there was no safety. I see The roots in normal psychological stuff but definetaly God is the healer and trusting in Him through everything is The key. Still it is sometimes nessessary to do emotional and psychological work through psychological counselling. Of course Enemy uses our wounds to attack on. For me, I also see I'm very prideful in my need to control and that's sin. Oh, God is so good. Hi just wants us to trust in His sweet and loving intervention and deliverance which is so good.❤

[@user-qg9wf2vj6p]

Love this video❤. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I struggle with anxiety as well. You talking about going through it and how to seek God through this battle definitely helps. I will use this video as a resource and I pray you have victory over this during your vacation❤❤❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you so much friend!!

[@maryhawkins4047]

Great video! I deal with the same anxious thoughts - having kids made it worse and now the doctor says I am pre-menopause which is a struggle in many ways.

[@destinyheinze6888]

Thank you!! ❤

[@judymcintire8061]

Thank you Ashley!This was very inspiring! As you were talking about burying your idols I thought maybe if we were to write them down, place them in a pot, cover them with dirt, plant seeds (maybe marigolds or some other seeds on top & as we overcome these sins the seeds would blossom & give God the Glory!😊

[@carolaspinall1965]

A lot of us struggle with anxiety around these topics. As you say, we put ourselves in control and that in my case was misplaced responsibility. I pocked up responsibility for making sure (as if I had any control) lol, for others happiness or enjoyment when I planned a holiday or event. People are responsible for their own happiness or enjoyment. I have had anxiety a lot over finances, again, not my responsibility to provide but God's. My part is to steward well what He provides. I will let you have the title and author of a good book when I actually find it, I know you will like it. Take care. Loved this vlog ❤

[@Christina-hy1vp]

Ashely I just appreciate how honest and real your videos are! Please don’t change that. Cause a lot of times social media is sooo focused on the highlight. But I also like seeing the real non aesthetic side of this Christian walk. ~Grace and peace to you and your family 💕

[@Lhettherebelight]

Thank you for being so transparent. I always like Christian videos that are more real. And that makes u more relatable with me. It’s so hard to become a new mom, wife, homemaker, work, etc etc. I pray that you able to rest and figure it out the roots. In doing the same here except my roots that I’m figuring out is more of childhood trauma that I feel like it comes from generational curses of my family…

[@summer77nikkie]

I can relate about food and money. I quit my job because of big problems and God provided a new job the very next day! But I'm still having to wait a week or two to start. But God is still providing and I'm able to do door dash and uber eats on the side. But I have to self motivate because there's not a set schedule.

[@biankarodriguez2911]

Love all ya'lls videos...so excited about whats coming up next

[@btuller1772]

So related to the things you said in this video. Vacations and money and anxiety. Pull up the weed but not getting all the root. Listening to the Holy Spirit when he's talking and reminding me of things. You know I can hear the Holy Spirit talking to me throughout the day and totally blow him off about what he's putting in my heart because I don't want to listen but the funny thing is he reminds me later that hey I was there and you ignored me. Which is amazing God doesn't give up on us and he keeps working on us. So maybe the next time the weed comes up it's not as strong as before and we get more of the root when we confess and learn. I'll be thinking on this today and the next week. The weeds in my flower garden of me. Like that metaphor. Thoughts were a little disjointed but hopefully you get what I mean.

[@faithhopelove001]

Amen! 🙏🏽❤

[@pamelastilin7893]

I recommend you have an account together, but you each have your own checking and savings. This will help solve financial issues. Pay bills out of the mutual account - you both put 1/2 of the bill money into the mutual account.

[@alciraproenza-collazo]

I hope this helps a teeny bit...My mom has always said that vacations are for spending money and eating. Simple. Easy. True! What's your alternative - stay home and eat and spend money anyway, but not on vacation mode. I'd rather vacation mode spend and eat. Relax. Renew. Enjoy. Always remaining thankful for and in all things. A couple of other things: 1) it's not like your being wasteful; 2) you and Johnny work and have earned this restful time and most importantly; 3) the Lord will provide. Stay blessed and have a wonderful time doing what get-aways are for...spending $ and eating 😋

[@michellepittman883]

Love you

[@adventuresoffaith911]

One thing that might help you (not saying your fully doing this idk) is to stop saying I have fear, I have anxiety, I struggle with this or that. Remember life and death is in the power of the tongue. So if you speak it over yourself, it can give the devil a legal right to attack you by it, and you end up accidentally cursing yourself spiritually and won’t get delivered. Instead, you can renounce any agreements you made with the devil to have fear or anxiety or pride and speak like out loud to yourself, like this bible verse for example: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 and praying Psalms 23 over yourself I think really helps against anxiety

[@JG-ii5nt]

You need to take authority of this anxiety, dear. Like pray and command with authority until you win❤️

[@coffeeandbibletime]
