Literally just got Wi-Fi back after being hit by Helene. The devastation in my community is horrible and it has hit so many other places. The officials haven’t even released the amount of dead. I was in such a panic when we lost service because so many family members said they were fixing to have to evacuate. Then when the waters got highest I couldn’t speak to them at all and all I did was sit there in panic. I’ve been without service for 5 days. What have I been doing since I can’t be on my phone? Going door to door making sure the people I love are alive. Praising God that they are and all their houses are fine But the thing it’s made me aware of is that social media is an addiction. And it takes so much of my time. And so much of my anxiety. 5 days without my phone and the first thing I see when I finally get Wi-Fi is this video. NC is devastated and I’ve never been through anything like this before… I’m struggling, but I’m struggling while holding on to God harder. Seeking him more, praising him more.
Good timing with this video. I've been dealing with mononucleosis symptoms lately (fatigue and dizziness), so I've had to constantly change my schedule and get things done much slower than usual. It's been rough, but it's good to be reminded that busyness isn't the most important thing in life. The slow Christian life truly is underrated.
I stress myself out by making huge schedules because when I see everything I’m stressed enough to be productive, i literally thought earlier today about whether it was better to be unmotivated or to have peace, and this post was at the top of my feed. God is good
when you said “God, I trust you, but help me to trust you” that’s when I knew that we’re going through the same thing. i’ve literally been telling God that in prayer lately. I’ve never related so much to a video of yours. I don’t watch much of your content, but every once in a while I do like now and man, I can’t believe how clearly God is helping me to understand things in my life. He continues to speak to me through what seem like random videos on UA-cam and this is one of them. Glad to see that you are married now and that all is well with you. We don’t know each other personally, but I’m proud of the person you’ve become and of the person you’re becoming… by God’s grace. blessings bro.
Seeing your growth and maturing over the years has been wonderful. I’ve enjoyed your recent content much more than older stuff. Your growth has led to more edifying videos and advice in my opinion. God bless
Hey Isaac. I just wanted to say, I really enjoy your videos. I’ve been seeing things through a different perspective, and your insight has continued to help me with each video. Keep it up.
(For me,) your best video yet! Call it work addiction, over anxiety whatever you will, I got it. And I go to both extremes, working from waking to well past bedtime, to doing nothing the entire day for days. What a beautiful scripture I have read dozens of times, and never related it to this part of my often insane lifestyle. God bless you for at least this day, bringing me the peace you talk about.
I stumbled across Megan Fate Marshman last week who has just released a new book called Relaxed. All about Jesus being worry free, calm and a safe place to slow down. I've not read the book as yet but really love that description of Jesus, and the of the life we are free to imitate. Your video reminded me of her thoughts on this too.
I can relate to this, Isaac. There's so much I can explain and talk about the overcoming of trials and past thoughts and trauma and feelings and grudges. But, what I got out of all of this is my dad's been in hospice due to tonsil cancer and this has taught me to let go of fixating on past friendships along with girls and lust. It taught me to let go and let god take control and heal my mind and life slowly. My life has a purpose and intentionality now since I'm living a different but healthy. It's focusing on what matters now along with the thought of victory Christ has done for my life. Romans 8:37 is a verse that has been on my mind along with Matthew 6:24 to not serve two masters. The point is that those moments in life will be lost with tears in rain. I feel much better because my life has slowed down and I'm more present to deal with my life. There's too much to talk about, but my life has been at peace for now. I feel I'm being reconfigured by letting go of the obsessions of people and situations with worry and anxiety along with to stop fighting myself. That's where my life is at.
Good message, thank you for sharing! Slowing down is something I’ve been thinking about-I wonder what your thoughts are as it applies to sharing the gospel-I feel an urgency that we need to tell others, but then I also recognize that I can’t do it all in my own strength. I’m in a place in my life where I’m not interacting with a ton of unbelievers right now so I feel like I need to be doing more than I am but don’t know where to start.
Brother, if this ain't targeted at me, I don't know what is. Far too recently has the Lord made me realize that I don't want too much out of life. The day this dawned on me, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when I paused mid-breath. I suddenly started thinking about how many things is expected of me to achieve, how many things I "should" be doing. The whole situation started because in a conversation, a colleague broke down a lot of his future plans and how many things he's got on hand, and how he has made a lot of plans towards achieving those goals. He sounded so thorough and thoroughly busy, I felt I wasn't doing enough or dreaming big enough or hustling hard enough or wanting more out of life. But slowly, it's been dawning on me how much I don't want a lofty existence. I think about this and sometimes question whether what I'm thinking is actually a good thing. Because it would mean I won't have to he doing 50 million things at once, or joining every opportunistic endeavour my peers are joining. I'm in the penultimate year of my law degree, and this is how it had been going through my mind since. God bless you for this video🙏
I have a question Have any of you pray and ask God to financially bless you ( I have to say I don't believe in the prosperity Gospel that is taught by false teachers like Joel oystein. And many others like him.) I'm current Broke And living with My parents which I hate. I don't hate them but I hate living with them. I've been. Unemployed for months Which I hate. I also have autism, which makes it not easy. I'm trying my best to find the right job or a job i can work i hate not working My Final goal is to leave this country( America). There's really. No future here, and i want to leave this part of my life behind me
Yes. I have prayed that prayer and still do. This is world is hard and having money to pay bills, etc. is important. God understand and will provide. But I understand your situation. Continue to align yourself with God’s will and His word. Pray and seek Him daily. Be patient in that time in between and at the right time (God’s time) it will happen. Matthew 6:31-32 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Hope this helps!

Might I suggest the book "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer... it changed my life when it came to being busy all the time.
Seeing your growth and maturing over the years has been wonderful. I’ve enjoyed your recent content much more than older stuff. Your growth has led to more edifying videos and advice in my opinion. God bless
The timing of this video is insane!
Couldn’t come at a better time🥹
God bless you Isaac

Thank you for sharing your testimony. May God continue to use your life more to bless people and bring them closer to God.❤😊

This video has targeted me so much, thank you for letting God open my eyes a little more and helping me realize my mistakes 🙏🙏🙏

God bless you for this video🙏
I feel you on this one!
God bless
I have recently embraced a slower and more simple life, my health is a lot better overall.
Facts.
Bro sounds like an extrovert.😬👌✨
Can you give me a list of churches you like in Winnipeg and surrounding areas?
Looking for one.
You know I can't live a slow life, and the feeling of contentment or being content is just as bad as sin in my mind
Why do feel like being content is bad?
Paul literally commands us to be content…
I have a question
Have any of you pray and ask God to financially bless you ( I have to say I don't believe in the prosperity Gospel that is taught by false teachers like Joel oystein. And many others like him.) I'm current Broke And living with My parents which I hate. I don't hate them but I hate living with them.
I've been.
Unemployed for months Which I hate. I also have autism, which makes it not easy. I'm trying my best to find the right job or a job i can work i hate not working
My Final goal is to leave this country( America). There's really.
No future here, and i want to leave this part of my life behind me

Hope this helps!
