I'm currently in my final year of University studies. At the end of my second year I had a lot of issues with my mental health with dealing with depression and and stresses of the demands of my course. I was a Christian but didn't have the strongest foundation in God and didn't pray to him or come to him when I had issues. Although currently I am stressed with a lot of final assignments. I have faith and hope that God will get me over the line with his strength and when I pray to him and bring these issues to him, I just feel such a great sense of relief. I honestly don't know how people go through life without God in their life. Great work! Amazing video!

I'm in my final year too! I graduate in just 8 days now

[@alysesmith9219]

Your last point is what I think about all the time, the Lord is the only way! God bless you and you got this in Jesus name!

[@karamelblacc6754]

God has already won everything for you. All you have to do is have faith and walk in that victory that He has freely given to you. Whatever it is you are struggling with, the grace of God is sufficient for you. Dare to believe it. He loves you and cares for you and He will surely work everything out for your good. I pray that the grace of God will cover you and help you in every single thing. I pray that you will enjoy His goodness in your studies, in your mind and in your life. Dear child of God, enter His rest and have faith today. I love you ❤️

[@karamelblacc6754]

Don’t forget to keep on praying and praising God friend ❤

[@thewayuk_]

wow! praying with you for your studies!! You've got this, God's got you! Bless you!

[@vincentabika9424]

The ship is heavy but light on water. We may carry the heavy burden on our shoulder, but Jesus is the force that let us float on the water of chaos and ease our burdens. Glory be to Jesus!

[@Themoreyoumo]

What a way to put it ‼️‼️

[@cartermaday9533]

Wheww God is speaking through you! I gotta use that from here on out 🤌🏽🙌🏽

[@afriend621]

Once we are in the Presence of the Lord we do not have to carry anything at all.

[@MikeRo828]

Christians in the UK have something that isn't as common here in the US. Your evangelism style has a very humble attitude toward people. I think it might be because there are less believers in the UK and you're usually in the minority. Places like New York, Boston, and Seattle have a similar humble attitude in evangelizing because believers are such a minority in those cities.

[@nancymugabi]

You've got to be intentional about remembering who God is. He is faithful & gracious & loving, and just overall good!

[@thewayuk_]

Soo true! We can soo easily forget when we're in the thick of hard seasons, and reminding ourselves of His goodness helps carry us through!

[@VanZijl]

Worried about the next step with a heavy heart and also drowning in sin 💔 God please help me through this face and order my steps

[@motheowalerato701]

🙏❤️

[@hopewatson9432]

Wow. So powerful. Literally today i told myself "i dont deserve this" after receiving blessing after blessing. I am a senior, graduating in like 13 days and its been the hardest year of my life. My parents are getting a divorce, im losing my house, and our has church failed. Through these hardships however God has blessed me tremendously with scholarships and essentially a full ride to a christian college i wanted to attend. On top of that countless gifts from the community around me. Its overwhelming how much God is providing for me and i am far from deserving. He is so good

[@thewayuk_]

He is soo good! And soo faithful!! thanks for sharing! Bless you!

[@Temple188]

Wow... This is so encouraging,God bless you

[@blaqdaggy7748]

Amen keep racing mon

[@afriend621]

Let's remember to put down our bags when we board the train. Otherwise we carry our own load in vain. Yes, He is kind, He is loving, He hears our prayers, and He is so much more. God is everything. All Honour and Glory to HIm.

[@user-qv6le1ln1s]

"We have to intentionally remember who God is".... thank you❤

[@misstramaine1981]

Outstanding!! This video resonates to so many Christians how life can be so overwhelming that we forget to ask God for help and sometimes we feel guilty to ask God for help. That said, no matter what the trials and tribulations, God is always walking with us. This is why it's so important to maintain a close relationship with our Creator. The Bible says Jesus has overcome the world, so we should be Overcomers as well. Well done. I'm definitely going to share this video to everyone I know. Way to go Jesse and Xenia, and God bless The Way UK! 🔥

[@Ester_blessings]

I took dramatic arts as one of my subjects in high school and in my matric(senior) year we had to do a performance, because of COVID we had to do it individually. I was not doing ok mentally on the day of my performance, I kept forgetting my lines, my head was not there at all and it was just horrid, but luckily I didn’t stay out of character. According to the way they mark performances, the way you “recover” is more important than remembering your lines,you just need to keep on going. Because of this I received a really good mark on my performance. The Lord reminded me of this a few months ago when I sinned and felt ashamed to come back to him. It’s not always about what you did but it’s more about how you “recover” that the Lord looks at. He just wants us to run back to Him always. Him reminding me of this also shows how He is always with us no matter what and that nothing we go through is in vain, He can use anything and everything. ❤

[@siennacharlton5570]

i cried watching this

[@marielourdefelix1721]

That's Amazing ! GOD Is so Good ! I'm very edified by This video. He has been so Good to me even when I messed up, wasted my time in things that was not in his will for me and who kept me away from him. He was patient, opened my eyes and supported me through thick and thin, despite my mistakes and moments of disobedience. All the glory is to GOD.

[@LoveGod-ObeyGod]

I love the style of this video, it depicts the real every day life of a christian/even non-Christian. This conversation and the way it's portrayed is so real and genuine, how we really feel at times and converse with others. Thank you God for your encouragement! God bless. 🙏

[@niyigenammarsmireille5453]

sometimes God makes us feel like we are the only ones he is doing such things for..... Isn't it just amazing how God treats each one of us uniquely??? God being God is just so beautiful! thank YOU for this story!

[@afriend621]

Yes, I am so glad you offered this comment. He makes us feel so special and precious to Him that it is easy to forget that He loves us all equally. When I remember this I fall in love with everyone. I love seeing our differences, how we dress differently, our different body shapes, and ages, and styles. It's all so fun and celebrational. God is so beautiful in His Creation. !! I love it so much. I love Him so much !

[@eliskavanickova9742]

Wow, thank you for reminding us what is important. You are doing great job! Sending love!

[@mariayc.8791]

praise the Lord ! for u life guys, such short film love it, well done!

[@giovannalordeiro]

Amazing video and reminder! I loved it! ❤

[@elizabethiloveelohim137]

Yes, Yehoshua Messiah forgives us and His Holy Spirit helps us overcome, but we do need to testify to what we believe. If we believe His truth ,we must speak His truth. If we believe in His righteous ways of justice then we must let Him lead us in them so by His power and grace transforms us back to His likeness. Not everyone listens today or wants to know Yehoshua Messiah. Yes, we must pray for everyone, but our trust in God must be like Jobs

[@junenash4067]

❤

[@chinenyeezeja]

I was encouraged by this video. It hasn't been easy lately. Currently in my second year, the whole university stress, trying to figure out other things to do has not been easy. I'm just believing God to help me and wipe my tears away someday. She said something about inviting God into our lives to take charge, what are the ways please?

[@adekanmiibukunoluwagrace3023]

The way to invite God to take charge in our lives is by firstly believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour and after that open up your heart and ask God to help you live the kind of life He want you to live and ask Him to teach you to know His will and ways.

[@jeanniehyde8090]

This is beautifully done. Love this 🙏🏽Very encouraging message 🙌🏾👋🏾 thank you 👏🏾👏🏾

[@mandiejanae9499]

Lovely video, may God continue to bless and strengthen you guys❣️🙏

[@shiningstar3774]

We need to pray for the salvation of every person on the planet. God is willing for none to perish. We also need to pray that God will speed up the saintification of His children and that we all will be walking out our callings. That God will turn us into a spiritual army and that we all will reach a new level in Him.
