- I’ve Been Struggling, Here’s Why.-
Hey Fam, it’s been a crazy few weeks. My mind has gone to a lot of places. One thing after the other seems to pile on top of me and it was getting out of hand. I wanted to make this video because I love to stay real with you guys. It’s a really scary thing to be vulnerable on the internet, especially when people are waiting to jump on anything you post. But I’m not worried about them. I’m here to encourage you to please seek help if you need it. Please don’t stay in the dark. Please bring your struggles to the light. The enemy wants to break you but The Lord wants to mend you and make you stronger. I am doing so much better now that I have brought my struggles to the light. And the enemy has no hold on me any longer. Praise God! Get the help you need. Here’s a link to the Faithful Counseling website if you don’t have anyone to talk to. 💜🙏🏼

Hey Fam! Thanks for letting me be vulnerable with you guys. It’s not easy, but I know it’s worth it. I love you all so much. And I’m praying that you get help if it is needed. Do not keep your struggle in the dark. There is nothing to be afraid of. The Lord has you and He has help he wants to give you. 💜🙏🏼
I love you to so much Morgan.
You will get through it ♥ ♥ ♥
Even the great prophet Jeremiah was depressed
יד אָרוּר הַיּוֹם, אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּדְתִּי בּוֹ: יוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יְלָדַתְנִי אִמִּי, אַל-יְהִי בָרוּךְ. טו אָרוּר הָאִישׁ, אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂר אֶת-אָבִי לֵאמֹר, יֻלַּד-לְךָ, בֵּן זָכָר--שַׂמֵּחַ, שִׂמְּחָהוּ.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born; the day wherein my mother bore me, let it not be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying: 'A man-child is born unto thee'; making him very glad.
יהיה בסדר -You'll be fine
Psalm 66:12 KJV
....”we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.”
God will help us Morgan 😊 He will help us through the fire.
Morgan, never have I appreciated you more than this very moment.
🥰💖✝️🌻💯😊 You are so right about some of us during this pandemic and our feelings. 💔A lot of us do not know how to process or react to all this. Thank you for using your stage with honesty to some how🤷♀️✝️ make a lot of us feel ok with our "I dont know what to do or how to process" situation, because so MANY of us DO relate and the fact that most people are hiding there real anxieties and acting as tho they know exactly what to do right now is EXHAUSTING to say the least. 😢God is working through you in so many ways in this video and its absolutely wonderful. Thank you for being just who you are and how you are and let's all praise 🙌our heavenly Father✝️🤲 for your courage to step forward, speak out and than post this for the whole world to view. You are such a beautiful and smart woman 👩of God and he has ever lasting love for you and for eternity.✝️😇God knows you thoroughly and knows the desires of your ❤✝️heart and he is using you through these feelings of depression and anxiety and stress and shame and the unknown for others. AMEN!!! 🙌For others to witness and desire a taste and relationship with our Lord and Savior. 🌱 you are doing so good and you are so strong🥳💪👏 and I am certainly supporting you and praying for you every day. This is your platform and it is so encouraging to witness Gods work in you and through you. If there is only 1 message you take away from my comment let it be this;
-there is this tangible presence of God that is something that you actually get to experience when you are in your deepest valleys. If you feel crushed in spirit, or low in faith and or hope, let me remind you, do not be afraid or ashamed in your valleys because in your deepest valleys God will meet you in a way that he never will in your strongest walks with him. 😔🤲😇
For when we are on the mountain tops we tend to forget how badly we need God, but in our valleys we're desperate.
And lastly my dear Philippians 4:13
I'm going pray about a private matter, and maybe share it with my church family BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO.
If you struggle with depression, don't suppress it. Seek help even if you need to take anti-depressions. Don't think you failed the Lord.
My condolences for your grandfather.
Greeting a loving athiest.
hey, as you can tell by my username I'm from the other side of the camp. I have struggled with almost exactly what you describe. I'm so proud of you for reliezing that you are having a hard time and sharing, I know how hard it can be to open up especially to the internet. When I went on anti-depressants my dad said that any rational guy would not want to date me because of it. I admire your courage for facing the world without anti-depressants(I don't think I could). A lot of my friends are also struggling with church and a major part of their spiritual life has been put on hold. I've been feeling depressed lately and I haven't done a single homework assignment in over a month and your video really motivated to seek help. glad I subscribed :)
Hi! I am a catholic christian from Spain, who's been fighting depression for a bunch of years now. I don't think it's true that guys won't date you just because they're some substances like serotonine and dopamine, etc., that your brain doesn't produce or balance itself. I mean, if they don't date you for that reason, it's their loss. And also, I don't think that would be rational, but irrational: just like not dating a diabetic because his body needs more insulin that it can produce.
I hope I am making sense, English is not my main language.
I wish you all the best. Just remember that you are not alone! If that's okay with you, I'll pray for you. I honestly believe that God loves you and he brought you to this world for a reason, that you life is meaningful and has a purpose. Maybe you don't see it now (I didn't see it either when I was younger) but now I am on my late twenties and everything is starting to make sense. I promise you it will get better. God bless you. Greetings from Spain :)
Atheist: Glad you have a good support system going. Always nessesary with mental health. Stay strong and do whats best for you. *insert thumbs up sponge bob*
"I have people speaking to me in my life that actually know me, personally. And my psychiatrist who is actually a psychiatrist and has the authority to tell me whether or not I should get back on medication. So I don't need someone from the internet telling me what to do with my life." YES. ^-^
But you have to understand, Morgan, that when you put your life on SM, the viewers/readers are going to give their opinions. That’s just a given.
I’m sure she understands that since she’s been on here for a while
strange that she says that, and then condemns gay, trans and so many people with different views as her. Maybe you're depressed because it's GOD saying stop hating people, my children!
zurzak ne-etra fucking this ^
@@tarrowahtessla7456 exactly, there's so much hate in her. when you occupy so much of your time trying to condemn people all the time, of course you're gonna be depressed!
This was extremely encouraging! my grandmother passed away on Monday and we can't have a proper funeral either. Thank you for your honesty.
I love how transparent you are with us. There are so many people on the interment who try to act like they’re perfect. Thank you for showing us that it’s okay not to be perfect
G&A forToday 🙏🏼💜 thanks girl! Appreciate you.
How about taking medicine doesnt make you not perfect.
This is such an important video for all the people who struggle with depression and other mental issues...you are brave for talking about it!! Good job!
Sanna Tiisanoja thank you friend 💜🙏🏼
Well we just pray that you are ok and happy.
I worked HARD to get off my meds. This quarantine has been difficult...I'm trying so hard to not get back on, (I'm under a Dr. too) so I've been working out with my coach online. Many prayers...the struggle is very real. Hang in there, you're not alone.
Anna Howard I feel you girl, stay strong, keep seeking help. You are not in this alone. Thank you for your encouragement. 💜🙏🏼
You are so amazing and so strong! You got this Anna. You are so courageous for all the work you are putting yourself through. I admire you so much!
God bless you, and I'll keep you in my prayers!
Theres nothing wrong with needikg medication. GOD said when you are sick you get a Physician. Medicine isnt evil.
@@helixmoore7636 if you need them it's ok. I just had horrible side effects...
Thank you for being so vulnerable and open Morgan. I'm confident that this video will help people. God bless you!
Sabrina Nickel thanks girl! 💜🙏🏼
I’m with you girlfriend. I’ve been getting into dark places throughout this quarantine. We’re all under attack right now.
Zachary Zabayle be safe, friend 🙏🏼💜
Same I thought I was the only one😭
Your video reminded me of a verse: "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2) Praying for you girl!
This verse is just beautiful
Thank you for sharing your story. Thanks for being vulnerable and authentic! We need more people like you!
Anthony Carrai Jr 🙏🏼💜thank you friend!
I was on sertraline for a few months and it helped a lot (I have OCD) and it saved my life but I had to get off of it because your girl started tripping lol. I’m recovered now, but when I have a hard time, I go to talk therapy.
Something that’s been a saving grace for me is embracing your brain. The Enemy is real but your mental disorders (or conditions, as I prefer to call them) are a part of your body and your body is apart of your identity. Catholics believe we are Body, Mind and Soul. Your mind, which I know has been riddled with depression and trauma and grief is a part of you. And that’s beautiful. You’re beautiful. Even your mental conditions have gifts. They have their struggles and their gifts. People with borderline (I remember you mentioning you have BPD in a video) have the absolute BIGGEST hearts. Borderlines have the most compassion and empathy.
Just grow your team and don’t be afraid to ask more than one psychiatrist for insight. Some want to throw meds at you that you don’t need because our healthcare system is...something lol.
Wholistic treatment is so so so important. You can’t just throw meds at someone and expect them to not have trauma anymore.
I support you. I have some concerns, but I also acknowledge that I do not know you and thus I can only know so much.
God bless!
My sin struggles have been amplified 10x since social distancing started. I am struggling as well Morgan. Thanks for sharing there is real spiritual warfare for us Christians during this time. God will get us through it!
Tony Mattei You can stand back up, God loves you. Root yourself in the word of God. God cares for you so much.
Sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14. I encourage you to look in to God’s grace and ask Him to reveal it to you in a way you may have never understood before. God bless and God loves you.
My friend committed suicide this past week. It has shaken me to the core. She was surrounded by Christian friends, worked in a Christian environment, and was active in the church. Not many people knew what was going on inside of her. She was a very giving person, always smiling and laughing. God is using this to break down my former beliefs about being a born-again Christian and dealing with depression. I know from my own experiences that some deep hurts don’t ever fully go away...you’re constantly healing. For me, it’s always been a reminder that eventually pushes me closer to Jesus...so it’s a pain I’ve come to cherish. For some people, life events can re-trigger feelings out of the blue, and not having a safe place to share those feelings causes a quick spiral downwards. When a person is at the point where they’re seriously considering suicide, they sincerely believe everyone will be better off without them. When you feel like no one understands or is too caught up in their own lives, you start to feel like you’ll never be able to escape it. I think many Christians do more harm than help when we fail to listen and fail to really try to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. My friend was surrounded by people who could have taken the time to help her.
She told me once that she liked talking to me because she didn’t feel judged. She said there weren’t many people at the church that she felt she could share with. I will never forget that. It’s so sad and the Christian community shouldn’t be like that. What a harsh way this has been to learn such a critical lesson. As a follower of Jesus, I pray that our hearts will be broken, self-righteousness will be spit on, and we will learn to be the hands and feet of Christ to people instead of saying a few Christianese words that require no effort or humility.
Thankyou for being willing to unmask this, Morgan. So many of us need it.
I agree with basically nothing that you and Paul put out on youtube, but I do relate to what you described in this video. I keep shit to myself and it's a bad, bad path to go down.
Opening up in a simple video like this can save a life. Thanks Morgan, keep up the good work. You bless other by sharing your heart.
Thank you so much this came exactly when I needed it. I was looking and praying for help without any success and now your video popped up. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this Morgan. ❤️ I think I'm in a similar state of mind and not being honest with myself; I don't think I realized I was suppressing all these negative feelings. I've basically been getting nothing done these past two weeks as a result. 🙃 It's so easy to believe the lies. Thank you for reminding me that I need to bring it to light and that it's okay to be feeling like this 💕
Hi Morgan,
Forgive me if this is too forward--
I'm single so I have a lot more time to myself than I think a married woman would have. But I know during this pandemic I have had so much more time to really get to know God and myself than normal which has been pivotal to my outlook on life and my situation in this time. I too have dealt with depression and anxiety and I am learning that no matter what, the journey of learning God never ends and healing TAKES TIME lol lol. I have been able to use this time to find different ways of fighting in the spiritual realm because depression is a spirit that attaches itself to other "negative" emotions in our life (i.e pride, unforgiveness, shame, etc. ) So, I have had to ask the Lord to really search my heart for unforgiveness, shame, pride and other sinful emotions so that the devil has nothing else to grip himself on to.
I've been able to use worship to release those negative emotions. I had to tune out everything around me close my eyes and just dance freely with the Lord. It was so freeing. I'm not saying all of those negative emotions are gone but I am saying that they are being LOOSED.
Also, waking up and PRIORITIZING processing my emotions; I talk to God out loud, I write freely to the Lord. I intentionally have to make sure I am getting those emotions out of me in healthy ways. For some that may be singing, drawing, or other artistic outlets. Since I do not always have that outside person to talk to, it has helped me tremendously to realize that I can totally depend on God in to listen to my deepest darkest moments to admit to him my pride and why I feel prideful so that he is able to counsel me through it. I hope this is encouraging for you Morgan. Thank you for your vulnerability, and please give yourself grace my love-- life is not easy and the devil be attackin' lol lol. Receive God's grace and compassion for your situation and for everything in life you have been through to get you to that point of hurt and darkness in the first place my love. God bless you and Paul! I pray God's blessing, guidance and leadership over you and your alone time with the Lord today. We love you! God's blessing is on your life.
Amen
Javonie Turner amen, amen! Really good wisdom here girl. Thank you! 💜🙏🏼
Your comment gets a 🌟
Thank you for sharing this! 😊💝😊💝
This is amazing advice ❤️😂
Morgan!!!
I have struggled with anxiety and depression from so many years!
God is there to hold his children’s hands!
You’re videos over the last year have been such a huge comfort to me.
I know iam on the other side of the world but you’re company on this earth is a huge comfort for you.
I am preying for you sister!
You’re honesty is heaven sent!
🙏😊❤️🌺
Hi Morgan👋🏽 I’m glad you recognized the fact that being on meds as a Christian is OK! Mental health in the christian community can sometimes be swept under the rug. It’s good to hear from a sisters-in-Christ that when it comes to mental health God may lead us in different directions (e.g. therapy, medications, confession etc.) thank you for confirming. 💛
Structure is such a huge aid for my anxiety too, particularly regarding the management of my eating disorder. I think it's good that you're reflecting on what is better for keeping your mental health in check, especially regarding medication and the role they've played in your life. I'm not here to push you either way I swear!! Just keep your options open, I know how it feels to feel like you've failed because you need medication-I've BEEN there, so many times. I just want to say that you are not weak for needing medical/chemical intervention...it's something that has been scientifically proven. And it's ok, because you will get through it.
Please take care of yourself!! We may not agree on much, but we have a lot in common when it comes to mental health so I just wanted to reach out!
I’m so sorry about your grandpa. Sending my love and prayers 💕
Thanks for sharing Morgan ❤️ this was really helpful to hear.
Jennie Lee 💜🙏🏼💜
Thank you for sharing your heart! I struggle with anxiety and depression. The depression has surfaced during this time in a way I haven’t experienced in awhile. Routine is also big for me! Which I was also surprised about since I’m not a natural planner or organizer. It makes sense that it is tied to those feelings of not having purpose.
Sending you lots of love and prayer. You are certainly not alone in your struggle. ❤️🙏
I love that you are able to be so vulnerable this has been a tough time all around. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers
Katie Risley thank you 💜🙏🏼
Hebrews 5:15-16 tells us Jesus understands our weaknesses and was tempted as we are and to go BOLDLY to the throne of grace in our time of need! Jesus is for us and will help us if we go to Him. Thanks for your transparency ❤️
Thanks
I really love your transparency Morgan and I thank you for it. I just lost my grandmother a few days ago and with the isolation and social distancing, I’ve been taking it a lot harder than I would have had this not be going on. To cope I have been avoiding the situation even though I know I shouldn’t. This video came at a really good time because I needed to feel not so alone and needed the encouragement. So again, thank you.
I will pray for you! I know that all this dark times helps us to grow up and probably be more able to help others!
You guys are amazing! God bless you! 💕
Thank you Morgan for opening up. Your videos inspire me every time I watch you. love ya
Thank you for your testimony, Morgan. I've been in the darkness also and I can relate to your struggle. Although I'm a complete introvert, this pandemic has been making my mental health even worse, since there are so many doubts, so much darkness out there and I don't even know what to do.
Emanuel de Araújo reach out to people. Don’t do this alone. Introvert or not, you need someone to come along and walk with you. 💜🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing! I have struggled with my own issues with depression and anxiety. I have definitely opened up and it is a huge relief. I have talked to mentors, friends, pastors and it was really hard when they all said I needed professional help. I went to a psychologist a few times and it hasn't really gone anywhere so I do feel pretty stuck. It can be harder sometimes but most of my stress comes out in how much I eat. So how much I am eating shows me my mental state and it can be hard sometimes. Especially because I am an extrovert and it's hard to not be at school and have that normal routine. Love you so much Morgan you have been such a great example and inspiration to me! ❤️
Thank you for this. I have been struggling in my alone time with God and it's hard to express and process as much as I want to.
please speak to someone if you're depressed, and get some proper medical help, therapy even. It's not the devil, it's just things in you that are not balanced, and there's nothing wrong with that
Thank you so much for being honest! I have felt similar to this - overcoming depression & during this time it's been a little difficult! I think the biggest thing for me is to remember that the breakthrough God blessed me with has not been negated! Breakthrough has happened but there will still be bumps in the road! Jesus is greater than any emotion or obstacle I face! Hallelujah!
Haley Nicole amen girl! That’s exactly right 💜🙏🏼
Thank you so much Morgan for being brave enough I too have struggled with this and believe the same lies I think it's amazing that you've gone that long without internet presence That's My Hope
I really needed to hear this Morgan, but its scary ... I feel so ashamed that I’m struggling with my mental health again .. but I need to tell someone sooo just pray I have the courage to soon ❤️
It's so good to bring the things of the dark to light. Thank you for being real and vulnerable with us Morgan!
It's been tough for me because I was supposed to fly to see my long distance boyfriend but have to cancel my flight. Its brought me down, but my boyfriend and I are going to use this time to grow closer to Jesus together instead.
Allison Lucas amen! Keep leaning on the Father! 💜🙏🏼
Same here about OCD and anxiety.
=/
But you know? The Lord knows our heart. I have been struggling on reading the Bible, I have had a lot of migraines, stress.
But I know God just talked to my once again through your testimony.
Tks! God bless you!
Ah I feel the spiritual struggle, I feel like Satan is using this time to attack us in our weak points. Stay strong girl, the Lords mercies are new every day! We will come out of this stronger❤️
if your struggling then its a factor of life issues, not the devil haunting you.
Satan isn't using any time to attack y'all. The depression is a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE IN THE BRAIN. It is not some mythical creature no one has seen before, possessing you and making you depressed. I feel so bad for Morgan. She is suffering from a real thing that kills many people. I know it all to well. Yea being off meds is incredible but you should never go off of them and trust in some made up thing to heal you.
part of the problem is you thinking it's the devil tho. get some actual help, from actual certified professionals, exercise, and consult credible people, not just a bunch of people who claim to love Jesus.
@Riley Hodge Maybe the devil exists, if he does exist, I'm pretty sure he's focusing on the bigger stuff, like climate change, the spread of Covid-19, misogyny, rape, not Morgan getting annoyed at her neighbour's fan... It's purely delusional to think that all bad things happen because the devil does it. Occasionally, God punishes people becuase he thinks they're behaving badly. Maybe God is punishing Morgan for hating gays and trans people... Maybe her depression is God saying be kind to others.
@Riley Hodge Strange how there are those in the world who manage to think positively, love life, and people around them, and live perfectly fulfilling lives, thanking God in the process of doing these things, without ever having to think of the devil.
Thank you for your honesty! Love you so much! I couldn’t hold back my tears...
Linn Torkelsen aww you’re so sweet. Thank you friend. I love you back! 💜🙏🏼
I see so much strength in this video Morgan! I don’t know why but there is strength in weakness and I really like your honesty and real ness. Trust the Lord but also believe in yourself.
Froschki S amen! Praise God. Love this so much. 💜🙏🏼
The strongest thing my family member struggling ever did was getting the help and they needed. It was the biggest gift and I am so grateful they are now more open to communication. On a different note: it probably took a lot of strength to put your personal borders out on the internet. This video has encouraged me greatly. Thank you
Thank you soooo much for sharing your heart!! I will be praying for you and Paul!! You guys are amazing!!
As a fellow Christian, I don't always agree with you, but I'm so glad you shared that needing medical help to deal with a mental health issue does not make you weak or a failure. I'm also so sorry to hear about your grandparents. I'll be lifting you up in prayer, and thanks for being vulnerable. Glad you have folks around to support and love you
Morgan, thank you for being open & honest. I commend your bravery! I have a sincere question for you: Do you think your mind/life would be simpler and more peaceful if you stopped being on UA-cam? Less stress, less expectations and less critical voices in your life. Blessings and prayers.
Aw thanks for sharing!😭💕💐 I feel ya, it is a super weird time and the lack of my “bookend” routines has left my books scattered all over the place! Finally getting some things accomplished around the house, and though the slow pace drives me nuts, it helps like you said with the bike ride to do something physical or also for me, just start organizing something without thinking, just fold the sweaters or whatever with a movie on. So sorry for your loss as well. I really like what you guys say about bringing darkness to light, I kinda want to hear more on that, like all expounded and everything, seems like a great concept! Just a thought. Take care!!😄💕
Thank you Morgan for being so open about this!! It’s a blessing. I didn’t realize for a long time that I really struggle with depression because I’m a pretty happy person. I’m an extrovert and I feel like I’m dying being stuck inside. I lost my dad recently so I’m working on dealing with grief and everything. It’s hard being honest about it. So thank you soooo so much!
Thank you so much for all your videos, you're so sweet and honest, and I think a lot of us need that
I admire you for bringing your struggles to the light. Praying 💛
Steph Hovan thank you 🙏🏼💜
Thank you for sharing. Sending love and prayers ❤ I think a lot of us know how you are feeling, so you are not alone. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement. We are all in this together 💛🌏
Living to be Happy 💜🙏🏼💜
I struggle with bpd and these times are rough. I am usually relatively stable as a borderline person can be but now I am not in a good place. Even though I am an atheist and I cannot connect with you through your faith, I know the struggle of a mental health issue and I wish you nothing but the best and recovery.
I'm so so glad you made this video! Amen girl! I literally just got saved this year in 2020...I was dealing with depression, anxiety, codependency, alcohol addiction, panic attacks...and the Lord literally took it ALL away at ONCE! Now I am currently on fire for the Lord. My view is soooooo different now than alot of the world...I just want to shout from the rooftop that the Lord is moving right now, that the body of Christ is being revived......now with all that said your message is SO helpful for me bc I need to remember that others are struggling and their fire may have gone out or dwindled or they are getting majorly attacked by the enemy....I need to keep these ppl in my fire lit prayers as a newly saved baby Christian. Your video also reminds me to live and speak in the fruits of the Spirit, especially gently bc the boldness of the Holy Spirit isnt for everyone and I have to remember that bc I can be too bold sometimes in my newfound love and fire for the Lord... I'm so so glad for your message reminding me to be gentle rather than bold...even though my depression has been taken and I'm in a season of Salvation and Fire burning hot for the Lord doesnt mean that other ppl are. Most likely they are in a season of fear and worry and getting majorly attacked by the enemy. During your video, the Lord just reminded me that gentleness and kindness and love are key to bringing hope to others and prayer and fasting are weapons to use against the enemy in times like this. Thank you so so much again! Amazing video. I'm so happy that you were able to defeat the enemy in his attack against you. Praise the Lord for all the help he is giving you right now! The Lord bless you sister in Christ Jesus ❤❤❤✝️
Wow, what you had to say about being active & creative (dancing singing exercise) I respected that! It’s so important for our body and brain to be happy!! Lots of other relatable points in this video thank you for sharing your tips for what works for you and can help so many people too! . Hearing what you said about sharing what you are going through with others helps is something that is individual to each person can definitely help to say “listen I’m in a bad headspace don’t take offense to me being moody buts it’s because I’m stressed tired uninspired, bored, grieving ect leave me be for now” is great for communication as adults can’t let out emotions rule over our actions. Sharing never worked for me, in my family they give tough love, no babying ever, I used to feel misunderstood like I had prove that this was happening to me i had something medical, it’s out of my control. But I never went on medication I changed my lifestyle. Now I get why they acted how they did, in my particular situation I was choosing to be sad and uninvolved in things that brought me joy, and to a certain degree it was a lack of good eating habits in my personal experience and not being active or creative in any way. Now that I’m out of it and most importantly a Christian I do my best not to fall back into self sabotaging tendency and know what my personal formula for happiness and gratitude looks like, and it’s keeps changing too so I have to keep making myself happy. Becoming a Christian 3yrs ago my world view reality it has changed now I have to sit back and self reflect identify what I’m unhappy about and fix or except it. Here are a few verses that help me in challenging times. Psalm 34:17-18 Jeremiah 29:11 Mathew 6:21. ❤️💖❤️
Thanks for being real with us, much love! ❤️
Tonia Moronczyk 💜🙏🏼
John 16:33 is my favorite bible verse, because of what it means for these hard times. It says "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." What we deal with, Christ has already overcome. Lean on him, and he will guide you through.
Our pride is so dangerous it keeps us from so many blessings. Thank you for sharing.
There's nothing wrong with pride as long as its not excessive, there needs to be a balance.
@@ohuntermc9321 Maybe I don't fully understand the word right. But in my language which is german the word means something like complacency. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with loving yourself for god told us so but to be complacency about myself and what i have acomplished doesn't seem right to me.
If you've accomplished things that are very challenging and you've worked hard at, you can't not be proud of that. Christians take some very innocent feelings like this and turn it into evil, its pretty sad. Pride is when you gain satisfaction because of one's own achievements, and complacent is when you are smug about it. Many Christians don't seem understand the difference.
Morgan, I’m so sorry you’re going through this! But it’s an awesome thing that you have people you can talk to about this and are there for you! Yes, 100% agree, the only thing that matters is those that are your in life and your psychiatrist that’s helping you - random people on the internet have a lot of opinions but don’t know the real you.
Thank you for sharing! I love all of your videos! Keep being a light in this dark world and pursuing the Lord!
Thank you for being vulnerable Morgan❤. You and Paul are great people and are so encouraging. Know that you are loved and believed in.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, praying for you Morgan. I'm honestly so grateful for this "trial" we're in. When everything is stripped away what do have left? Jesus. I just hope this time brings everyone back to the heart of worship.
Kevin B amen! Thank you for your prayers 🙏🏼💜
Kevin B pretty sure that won’t happen, just a blissful dream. I’m sure the people who lost their lives or loved ones aren’t grateful, and don’t think he would be either
@@PaulandMorgan uhh...I'm worried for morgan as a pagan atheist...
Please take care of yourself, Love. I may disagree with so much of what you put out there, but I know what you're feeling. Be strong. I'll be praying for you extra
You guys are great!!
My older sister loves you guys and she really wants to meet you!
She's been through so so much and you have helped her alot!!!
My grandmother passed Thursday. I feel your pain. I’ll pray for yours. The world feels very dark right now.
I can relate to this soo much, thank you for sharing, it’s always nice to know that we’re not alone in this, even as Christians
Allow His Word to be more powerful than your mind. I need structure also. And I've had a horrible time with my dad who was in rehab and isolated in his room which caused him to hallucinate. Once he was back home, COVID was so much easier to handle when I was no longer stressed about him. I keep going back to psalm 91 and I literally drive to a park, stay in my car and do devotions there where I don't get distracted. I'm 65 and I need all the same things you do. Your updates / vlogs bring joy.
April Bentley praise God your dad is doing better. 🙏🏼💜 and amen to devotions. So good 🙏🏼
Thanks for your honesty Morgan you are so loved by Jesus himself! I have bad anxiety and depression too but we gotta press on and fight the good fight!❤
whitney nicole yes girl! We have to be smarter than the enemy, bring the dark to the light and get the help we need 🙏🏼💜
you go girl, you got this. Thank you for your honesty and sincerity. You Rock!
Thank you for sharing!! It is very helpful!
May God protect and keep you safe, especially from those who wants to use these video against you.
Take care!!
I'm glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. And it IS ok to be struggling, always. 💛💛💛
Quarantine is bringing out our past struggles including me buts it’s okay!! It’s great for us to be still, acknowledge, and continue to grow in a different way! It’s hard for me & I can’t tell the devil is trying to make us feel isolated and alone during this time!
Sophia Rose yes! Amen. Acknowledge, strategize and move forward with help. 🙏🏼💜
Thank you for sharing. 😊 The song "We Are Brave" by Shawn McDonald came to mind. You are brave and honest. I love bike riding too! I have found new trails around my house and have jogged them now. Beautiful things can be discovered when we look at the bright side. Keep looking up.🙌
LizCastlesPalace thank you so much girl. 💜🙏🏼 and amen! There’s so much to discover!
Thanks for you’re honesty. Love that you are bringing it out in the light!!!
This was hard to watch, but also very encouraging. Thank you Morgan! I had the absolute worst day today. I'm going through the worst time of my life so far, and it's really hard!! I struggle with depression myself. Thanks for being such an inspiration. You give me hope!😘🙏🏻
hi morgan thank you for sharing this. i have mental health issues and have been struggling for a few weeks but have been too proud to talk about it but now have decided to talk about it with someone and bring it too the light xx
Morgan, it makes so much sense that you would be struggling right now. A lot of people are, including myself. You do what you need to do to take care of YOU! Try not to worry about what other people think. I am praying for you!!!
Hayley Mazeika thank you so much girl. Amen 🙏🏼💜
You are amazing. You are amazing. what you had to say is applicable to so much more than depression. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. It helps when people are real. The Lord can really use the journey of realness to show His glory as we yield to Him through it all.
Well, I'm glad you are being honest and taking care of yourself.
You're not alone too! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'll be praying for you, sister! I think there's lots of strength out there in your sensitivity.
I struggle too. I like to look up sermons on UA-cam about depression and the truth content helps me get through it. I love you Morgan.
Hang in there Morgan! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for your bravery. It's super hard sharing your struggle when your in the heat of battle. I'm in the same boat. Your struggle is real. It's okay to not be okay. Again, I appreciate you being real and raw.
I’m so sorry Morgan I hope things get better. Sending love
Thank you for bringing this into the light Morgan! The enemy has no power over you this way!!🙏🏼🎉🎉🎉
Prayers for you Morgan!
Johanna Stromberg thank you! 🙏🏼💜
Thank you so much for this video
I don’t always agree with what you guys say, but I loved this video so much! Thanks so much for sharing! I personally don’t struggle with depression, but this time has not been easy for me. One day I feel great, and the next I’m feeling sad. I don’t like the uncertainty of this time, so I have to remind myself that God is in control. ❤️
Thanks for speaking about this publicly Morgan! I also deal with my own mental/emotional issues as well and this was very encouraging. I will be praying for you Morgan, hope you feel better/do things that make you feel good and happy during this difficult time! Much love from Nyc :)
iamesthere thank you friend. Praying you stay healthy and strong and get the help you need. 💜🙏🏼
Girlll, one of the things one of my pastors has said over and over is that if you're fighting against or with something, you've not given in and that's been suuuuch an encouragement to me and I was using it to encourage a fellow sister in Adonai who was starting to doubt her salvation because of sin in her life. But something I said to her was the fact that you're even concerned and the fact that you're seeking help is suuuuch a good indicator of the Truth. And I'll say that to you too :) Not that you're doubting salvation....but I think you get my point haha Just the fact the you're "struggling" with depression is a sign that you haven't caved and been like "come at me, here I am" :) By the grace and strength of the Most High, you've brought it to light and told Paul and your pastor and you're seeking to take steps to battle it and come out of it aaaaaand to identify what brought it back on in the first place! That's sooooo encouraging, girl!!! I'll be in prayer for you about this specifically!!! Love you guys and keep shining
I went on an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) a month and a half ago. It was a struggle: the pride, the fear, the sense of ”I’ve failed as a Christian”
i’m struggling too.. thank you for being vulnerable with us, it’s encouraging. love y’all!!!!
Becca Rose Knight you’re so welcome. We love you! Be strong 💜🙏🏼
Thank you for being so open Morgan. You are blessing to other sisters in Christ 💕
Thank you for opening up! As someone who has also struggled with depression in the past, the first two weeks of quarantine have been extremely difficult for me as well, so I totally get where you're coming from. And just to tell you one more time: you are not alone in this, and in fact, struggling with radical changes like these is completely normal and healthy. As you said, having some kind of routine and keeping up with your schedule is so so important and after a while it will get easier.
I was living in Paris before all this happened and had to move (for the Lord knows how long) back in with my parents in Germany, because being locked in a room of 10sqm would have probably messed with my psyche way too much. The good thing is, that after years of living on my own, I now have the opportunity to help them in daily life again. I'm spending a lot of time cleaning, organizing, baking,.. and just trying to be helpful in any way I can. This feeling of being helpful adds a lot of value to my days and helps with getting up in the morning.
Aw same here,
I've been in the house and I just hope that God is still with me. I believe he is.
And faith is hard.
God is using these dark times for the church around the world to get them awaken about what is to come.
Guys, remember who we serve,
The way maker
Miracle worker
Promise keeper
Light in the darkness....
That is our God.
The Lord, the LORD of Angelic Armies is with the church of Christ.
Rockenster15 he is with you!! 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼
I love that point about not letting the devil trick you into thinking you shouldn’t share your thoughts and be open x
As a fellow Christian struggling with depression, your openness and honesty is so refreshing. I often felt like maybe I need to pray more, maybe I don’t love the lord enough. If did I wouldn’t be feeling this way. Thankyou for saying that’s not the case. It’s really encouraging. I’m just starting out my journey to get help, and I recently made the choice to start taking antidepressants. Do you have a video on your experience with them?
I got a notification for this video twice! I definitely think that was on purpose. Thank you for the wonderful message Morgan, I also struggle with depression and have been since being in quarantine and I really needed to hear this.
I am so sorry for you loss. i lost a brother-in-law to cancer and we cannot go to the funeral either as many of us live in difference countries. So we decided once the corona-virus is gone, we will all gather and have a proper funeral and memorial service with all gathered as it should be.
Aw I hope you will feel better again. I will pray for u!!!!😁
Tsuyu Asui thank you 💜🙏🏼
