Hey, friends! If you're feeling tired, maybe a little weary from wanting for God's promises to come to pass, and tempted to either settle or take matters into your own hand - this video is for you! In today's video, I share what we can learn from the story of Sarah. How her impatience to make God's promises come to pass did not fulfill her the way she anticipated and how sometimes in our own lives, we may be missing the signs that God wants us to LET GO and Trust Him MORE. I hope you enjoy and leave this video feeling encouraged!

Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my UA-cam channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!
don't settle for less than god's best don't settle for less dont settle christian i almost settled never settle motivation
Trusting in God looks like a peace that passes all understanding.

@@hadassaaishafoluke4261 thank u ☺️
@@ddeb.s thank u 💕
Thank youu ❤
As a planner, I do everything within my power and THINK that everything will go well, while planning on it’s own is a good thing, not surrendering and acknowledging God is futile! I’ve learned to abide and let God do what He alone can do. Thank you so much for today’s video
1. Prioritize God
2. Let go and trust God
Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
His ways are above our ways and thoughts
3. Ignoring convictions and prompting of God
Do not be arrogant hard headed and trying to understand why God wants u to do something
Proverbs 3:5-8
AMEN
As someone who is still very new on the path with God, this is something I constantly struggle with... letting go and stop trying to control everything because it eventually leaves me burnt out
I have just been through my obedient lesson, the amount of PEACE is unexplainable ❤ I am literally going into the unknown and trusting 100% in God. Thank you again my sister in Christ.
ISN'T IT CRAZY!? if only we knew when we were battling being obedient! thank you for being here sis!
Amen to this FR!
I am There also
I’m feeling convicted as I watch this..I haven’t been fully trusting the Lord 😢 thank you for this video ❤
Really feel tired, but I KEEP going! May Everyone join my faith in genuine prayer that ALL my test results come back negative from the doctor? That I’ll have a GOOD report! God is performing the impossible to possible for me! He’s turning the incurable to cured! Also that he removes all lingering pain from my body. I’ve been interceding. Amen! ❤🎉
God is faithful and he will never fail or forsake you. He will heal you and perfect all that concerns you and your health ijn (Amen)
@@Odufa__ thank you!
The timing of this video is so on point. Literally just wrote in my journal "Waiting is tiring, but I know that God's timing is best".
I currently don’t know where my life is going. I keep wanting to make sense of it but i end up feeling miserable. I worry about the future so much but the Bible is very clear about how we should focus on what’s going on now instead. I need to let go of wanting to be in control of everything and let God be God.
Wow wow wow. I had to pause the video and type. I am going through alot of challenges in my marriage and today I decided to leave everything in the hands of God. I actually read Genesis from Chapter 15 to 18 concerning Sarah. What stood out for me was Genesis 18: 10- 14
Your video is just a confirmation to me that I cannot fight my battles by myself. I must trust the Lord to fight them for me. Thank you Jesus
It is well, God is beautifying your marriage💜🙏
Omgosh. That comment about ‘holding on to His promises and not surrendering it back to Him’. Sis, whyyyyyyyy- whyyyyy are you being used to convict me so much?!
I’m ready to change the posture of my arms and surrendering all things to Him! ❤
Wow when you think it’s just you going through the struggle of marriage, someone else is going through it too .. Lord please help us to trust in you always 🙏🏿
Having joy and contentment with what I already have.
I feel like my life is all over the place at 24 but I need to trust God in everything(not always easy)
Thank you for the reminder😉
Letting go of trying to be in control and trust Gods timing and the process
This is so timely 😭❤️🙌🏾 I confess I was burnt out (#2) God has a way of sending signs I surrender all!
I'm trusting God on my job situation, I needed to hear this. God bless you.
Thank you God for never leaving me.Thank you God for loving me. Thank you God for your patience . Thank you God for allowing me to make mistakes and fumbling and you always pick up the pieces . Thank you God for HOPE 💕
Thank you lord Jesus for this message ❤❤❤ may God continue to bless you❤
Proverbs 3:5-6 has rested in my heart for a week now, and I see you included this in the video. God is telling me to let go of my past and controlling, the “need to know” everything. I recently broke up with my boyfriend and I’m still healing from that and so is he. We r Learning how to date Jesus first 😭😩! Pray for us both.
This didn't pop up on my screen by mistake . Thank you so much for yielding ma'am.
God knows what you need!!
This is exactly what I needed!!
What it looks like for me is to just believe he has the best for me in this next season of life, and walking in obedience for outreach.
Today 1st of October, I let go & fully trust in God. I am resting, God is in control💜🙏
Resting and trusting in God would bring me so much peace and putting my effort more towards things He wants me to work on for my purpose.
Melody, whaaaat im in so much awe. God has really been using your obedience to share this wisdom to pour into my life like crazy and it started with the "set apart" video. May you be blessed for your obedience you're speaking into my season and i truly appreciate it !
Being able to trust God would give me a greater peace and resolve to give Him Everything the Good, Bad, Ugly, Joyful, Troubling and the Confusing...Everything casted before my Heavenly Father
Doing my bible study in the mornings as well as evenings 🙏🏿❤️
Me too❤
Let go and Let God. Got it!
There’s a time and season for everything ❤
I felt like God was instructing me to read a certain book and I downloaded it, started it, but after a while couldn't really see the relevance so I stopped reading it. On top of that, I had so many class assignments that I was like you know what I'll get to it later. And to me I wasn't even doing it in a disrespectful way I just felt like I already had so much on my plate. Then it was brought back to my remembrance and I decided to tackle reading this book like I would if I had been assigned it in school. Once I was done, the information I learned literally helped me the next day! It honestly could have also helped me deal with so many things if I had I read it sooner. So yeah the verse about not leaning on your own understanding really hit and I was shocked once I was shown how much easier it was for me to make time to finish my school assignments than it was for me to do what I felt like God wanted me to do.
Less worrying, living in faith... believing in everything that God has promised me. Though it's so hard 😫 but the results and sacrifice would be worth it ❤
God’s timing is always timely! thank you sister and God bless you for allowing yourself to be such a wonderful vessel to pour into the spirits of others! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 this morning i received my first email from you and was so encouraged and in such strong faith when i spent time with it along with my morning prayer and devotion. i believe and trust that the Lord has already handled it and everything that He has been planning for me has manifested in the spiritual realm, all i need to do is stand firm in my faith, have patience and praise Him of His goodness because it soon will be fulfilled in the natural amen! i have been without a job and income since April when i was diagnosed with a rare heart condition that affects my physical activity and performing my own PCA position. once my car and work was taken away from me, my family had moved out of state and so i was left homeless going from place to place where evil spirits dwelled and i’d be under attack constantly. since May i had applied from disability benefits and just today i seen that the final review was completed for my case; in the name of Jesus i pray this is the answer i’ve been praying for. i pray to our glorious and merciful Heavenly Father that the letter they send to me will state i’ve been approved in Jesus name because God deserves all the glory, honor and praise. my testimony and blessings are not for me but for others to hear so they may know just how GREAT, ALIVE and FAITHFUL He truly is to His children 🕊️ what was meant for evil, GOD used it for good! for months i’ve starved, been harassed, been shunned and isolated from people, without family love and support, battling hopelessness, suicide, coping with drugs and alcohol, wanting to give up but see God hears the cries and pleads of ALL his people! He will NOT forsaken those who love and fear Him. in the midst of all of my trials and tribulations- HE STOOD BY ME. He lifted my head while i sobbed, He comforted my spirit while i had little faith, He made His presence known when i was in constant fear and anxiety about my future. He forgave me when i fully surrendered my life to Him and delivered me from all evil and wickedness, by His mercy and grace I AM FREE. He was there during my self deliverances casting out demons, He was there when i baptized myself in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, He was there when i fasted for 3 days, He was also there when i was attacked by the enemy for fasting, He was there in all my prayer sessions and praise and worship dances! He was there to guide me through the process of sanctification and through deep consecration. He was there through the highs and lows of my faith- the stretching of my trust in Him and His power. i fought and i fought and i fought and Jesus knows i fought! i encourage whoever reads this to do the same 🙏🏽 it will all be over, it will all be worth it, it will ALL be for your good and HIS glory. in times when i’d be rebuking satan, in pain all over, tears coming down my face i’d look up to my Lord and repeated: “i will NOT give up, i will not give in! because You sacrificed your Son to die for my sin.” our Creator knows we aren’t going to be perfect, righteous, strong and of high faith every second of our walk- but what He does honor is the willingness and love you hold in your heart for HIM. just a mustard seed of faith is all it takes to move mountains, He said! in the Mighty name of Jesus i thank God for each and every one of you and may God continue to do wondrous things in your lives as He has done in mine. i love you all, shalom 🦋🦋🦋
Like everyone in the comments this is such good timing. I have to confess i havent quite let go and trusted God when it comes to me, if its for others i believe and trust Him completely. These past few years i distanced myself from trusting God, i havent been walking with him and this year i realised its because my heart has hardened due to what felt like unanswered prayers, what felt like God was forsaking me, i stopped going to Him with my thoughts and feelings. But through all of this still yearning for Him asking Him to forgive me for the distance i placed between us but not knowing how to end that distance. But this past sunday my Pastor towards the end said if there is anyone with a hardened heart ask God to soften it and thats exactlu what i needed to hear along with your message. Clearly God is speaking to me.
I was looking for a faith-based channel for motivation, peace, and enlightenment and yours popped up. I LOVE it. You have a special light about you that is easy to follow and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for all the positivity you’re putting out!! Please keep it coming! ❤
To GOD be the Glory✨this appeared at the right time I was in the midst of a battle tonight holding on so tight to the will I had for my life. I called out to the LORD and I heard ‘Seek first the Kingdom of GOD’ and then I watch this video and see the confirmation from the LORD💛I need to let go and let GOD
Perfect timing 🤍 stressing out as I’m finishing college trying to have a job lined up for me when I’m done also a single mom so thank you for this!
Amen!
Perfect timing 😢
I find all 3 signs were mine I was trying to control a relationship that I know it’s not of God and it ended up controlling me. Praise God, I feel at peace now when surrendering everything back to Him and trusting God with the outcome.
Melody and Sisters......
I'm Liya
I grew up in a "Christian" household but I didn't truly understand Christianity until a few months ago (literally, this year). I've gotten closer to God, gotten rid of a lot of worldly lifestyles, preached the gospel,etc....but lately, I feel distant from God.
I usually read 2-3 chapters of my my Bible daily and pray when I wake up and when I go to bed, I had this heavenly peace in me. I didn't have to try those days but now I'm trying so hard and failing terribly. I feel like I'm in a trance.....
I'm scared, I truly am. My relationship with God is the best thing in my life and what keeps me happy and truly alive.......
Your videos are speaking deeply to me lately. ❤️🙏🏼 God bless you and your family!
nothing but the truth !!!
It would look like me not looking worried anymore, just no more anxiousness. But God knows it's hard for me to let go of being anxious of the WHENS bcuz I'm "playing for a small team". Barely any support in my life & I'm terrified of making a lot of mistakes bcuz I can't suffer more set backs. May God comfort me tonight as I sleep and make me feel peace again!! & also the beauty of waiting on him as the savior of my life. Amen.
The tip that stood out the most for me was being tired literally exhausted this is definitely me i never feel like I’m rested or get enough sleep or if I do sleep I still feel exhausted or toss and turn
This came at the right time for me, I was feeling overwhelmed and felt like giving up almost
same here!
His thoughts about my life are beautiful & I continue trusting in Him💜🙏
He has great plans for me, His ways and plans are far greater than mine❤
I needed this. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant. I had to quit my job as a hairstylist about an hour from home for safety reasons. Im also in school to be a cosmetology educator. I was looking for other jobs but I haven’t been able to find anything that’s safe for me and my baby and is willing to be flexible with my dedication to ministry. With that, my husband has been taking on more of the finances which is driving me crazy because I’m so use to working and helping. I feel the tug to create faith based content to draw people to Christ in the beauty industry but I’m trying to get around so many obstacles it’s a fight to even start. I really have to get out of my own way let go and let God lead.
This is so good. Feel like this is me and work. I’ve been endlessly trying to find the perfect job.
You know what this came right on time where I'm learning to trust God for my UA-cam channel , not to put a timeline on how and when it should grow ... I solely depend on Him now
Believe God that He loves everybody and me too so through Him I deserve to trust Him too
It’s a blessing to accept God’s calling of letting go of our worries and REALLY LETTING GOD
This is very much appreciated! I’m kind of up there with Abraham and Sarah concerning the promised son, Isaac. Abraham was promised the son, and had to wait 25 whole years before it came to pass. When I was 16, I knew I would have a son. It was a very plain vision for me. What I didn’t know is how long I would have to wait.
I was married at 20, and we have been waiting for 18 years to have our first child, which I know will be a son. It has been a very long and hard wait for me in my earlier years because of various reasons, but the closer I get to my promise, it has become a lot easier because I know it’s coming soon.
Many have told me to give up and then it will happen. Well, the truth is, I have given up…given up stressing, that is. What I have not, and cannot give up, is hope because I’ve experienced the LORD’s goodness too many times, and I know how he deals with me.
I will wait on him, and I know in His time, I will be holding my son in my arms and dedicating him back to his Creator!🙌🏾
I am having troubles in my relationship and I am letting go and letting God. I fully trust the Lord and his convictions.
Right on time, lord im trusting you when I don’t know where to go
Thank you so much! I really needed this today. God Bless & continue to inspire & cast is favor upon you.
Confirmation! I am reading this exact story in Genesis. Such a blessing! ❤️🙏🏾 Thank you!
Trusting in God looks like leaning on a peace that passes my own understanding 🙏🏾
What letting go and letting God looks like for me is PEACE!!! I have a peace in my life that truly surpasses all understanding. Things are happening in my life that a year ago would’ve sent me in a tailspin but since I’ve fully and completely surrendered to God, He takes it all and gives me His peace in return. Surrender today, surrender ALL and watch God do a work in you that you didn’t think could be done!
i used to think that my recieving blessings or me tasting of his promises in my life was dependent on me get closer to him and growing in him i feel like there are some certain things you have to do (i mean yes) but like God’s timing is his timing and i can’t predict that so what i can do is watch and pray and just be remain with him keep my eyes on him
I just stumbled into this video. Really excellent and timely 👏
Thank you for this....right now it would look like me not stressing over things I can't change/control and have the patience to see what God has already done in the spiritual come to pass in the natural.....ooh it's hard....I have good days...not so good days....then the melt down...aaaannd repeat! Lol! Why do we do this to ourselves! 🙆🏾♀️
This was right on time for me❤ You said something and I had to replay cause I thought I was hearing things
So blessed to have Jesus in my life!!! In God's perfect timing...🎊🥰 Amen!🙏
I am so grateful that I came across your UA-cam channel. I feel like God is using you to speak to me this was on point and right on time ❤
Aah sister this was so needed today thankyou iv been so exhausted of late, God's really been talking to me about surrendering and also not people pleasing. Keep praying for me I'd love to feel at peace again.
GOD BLESS YOU DEAR SISTER IN CHRIST JESUS AMEN 🙏🙏🙏, 😊
RIGHT ON TIME
I love the Scripture you included at the end ❤
Girlll when I say the lord has been using u In my life your last three videos has been on point with what his already been telling
I prayed a few minutes and pleaded with The Heavenly Father requesting some help. When I finished this msg came on. God is a hearer of prayer. Thank you God
This a confirmation for me.
Oh girl, I'm litteraly TIRED : the doctor told me to stay at home for 14 days to rest . Thank you God for this video, it was necessary !
God bless you sis 🙏🏽
Keep on keeping on Melody. Thank you for the nuggets🤜🤛
Hello, shalom...thank you for your encouragement and I greatly appreciate your anointed videos. Be blessed! 🥰
this has definitely been something the Lord has been working on me. I got sick last week and though it’s just a little cold/throat infection i’ve been struggling with letting go of my idea of how long i’m allowed to rest and how much i have to do to get back into gear. I can clearly see that God has been showing me how He works for me even if i’m in bed, sniffily and watery-eyed. I’m not the one who makes things happen i’m just His vessel. I’m so glad i’ve been given this gift of rest and slowing down and I hope i can learn all He has for me in this season ❤️🙏🏼
Very timely reminder...this morning I was in prayer and studying the scriptures when God reminded me to have faith in him...not to depend on my works...thank you for sharing I needed this confirmation. God bless you.
This is definitely on time I agree with others on here with the waiting. "I'm like okay God here we go again and I still trying to recover from the last one but your ways are high than mine and I gotta go seeing beyond what I see! It is well, just like your amazing t-shirt Melody! #faith #hope #love
I feel like every time I click on your videos, I know God's about to speak to me. 😩🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Thank you for this sis.
Just came across your video, I typed in “tired of trusting God.” And the video came up. It’s honestly so exhausting when you feel like your breakthrough is so far , all the time “trust trust trust trust.” How long will I trust him for? Anyway I hope I’ll get my job breakthrough soon 💔
On time word for me right now! Thank you for sharing! ❤ Right now, I leaning into who God says I am and trusting the process without having the full blueprint or even knowing what’s next! 😅 This is a hard one for me and yet it feels so good to REST in HIM! Like I never have before! 💕
Trusting the Lord looks like letting go for me too. I have the tendency to want to know The Who, what, where, and why. 🙌🏽 Im letting go. ❤
This came at the right time. Thank you so much Melody, may God bless you and your family.
This is perfect. I've definitely been struggling with one and two, and for the exact reasons you specified. Thank you for this!
😮💨🫱🏾🫲🏽 Thank you, Melody. ✨ Glory be to the Lord.
Thanks for this measage✨💛. Letting go & trusting God has so many levels to appreciate. Earlier this month I found out that my lease would not be renewed. I quickly gave it to God. I just know that everything will work out because of the promises of God. It has allowed me such delight in finding a new home for my family.
This was definitely perfect timing for me because I've been needing to rest and truly let go and let God. I tend to try to control the things around me and realize life gets more chaotic and then I need to lean on God because I can't do it alone. I truly do need Him each and everyday, during the good and not so good times.
love the “it is well” sweater!
thank you!! it's from my friend's brand! check her out :) www.jadechicthebrand.com/collection/6xr24ueugd6klq6efjpos5ldms8m45/it-is-well-crewneck
Really understanding his love and the fact that we are sons and daughters and that we can actually trust the Creator our Maker with our hearts and lives
Wow .Amen sis🙏 . This was beautiful ❤ Thank you for the encouragement sis. God bless you❤❤
Perfect timing. I'm feeling convicted right now but I'm truly grateful Thank you for this Melody, God is truly using you. God bless you and your family. For me resting and trusting in God means Focusing in the moment and embracing the season you in. Everything God place in our lives is truly part of His amazing plan for us to develop us and equip us for His promises.
Thank you so much and God bless you and your family. For everyone else ,let go God has got it all under control be free be loosed ❤❤
Ouuuuuu yes. Living with family and i have everything to get my own place but it still hasn't come to pass.I Know God wants me to submit and wait and trust. Lord I am impatient 😅 letting go again .
Thanks sis
Everything you say I relate to or have gone through it.🙌🏿 Thank you for these godly talks and videos. God bless girl!❤️
Thank you for letting God use you so beautifully. 🙏🏾💛
For me trusting God looks like hoping and believing that he has healed and is healing my body and any part of my life that needs healing. I used to be so tired and now I have energy because i am leaning on God fully and trusting him with my life. Walking by faith. 🙏🏾💛
This video made me cry and it wasn't even sad 🤦🏾♀️. Thankyou for your words Melody Alisa♡
This is such great timing. God is speaking to me through you. Thank you Melody :)
Doing things with him instead of without him and also just being obedient
