I once saw a quote from a therapist that said “You are not lazy. You only have a certain amount of energy and right now you are using it to survive”. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic panic attacks and I was constantly tired. My psychiatrist told me that I need to prioritize my rest times because that is how our body recovers. I used to feel like I was wasting my day if I napped. I had such a sleep deficit that it started to effect my ability to think straight. We are such a rushed society that it makes us feel guilty to slow down. I prayed constantly that God would help me through my mental health struggles and he answered by placing the right professionals in my path. I hope that you find relief soon.
Anxiety and depression is not from God, it's a spirit. And it needs to come out by deliverance. Recognise that that's not coming from you, those thoughts are the enemy's voice. I'm saying this from a place of having experienced depression in the past. This year my eyes were just opened and the Holy Spirit told me "this is not you". I couldn't understand why I was having these feelings when nothing was wrong really, I was in a good place with God, but I realised that in the mornings, was when the enemy would seek to attack me emotionally. And I didn't understand it until, BAM. It clicked. This is NOT from me.. And when it did that I rebuke the spirit, and it's harder for the enemy to attack because I now KNOW his tactics. Hopefully this helps someone, that's the goal. He has called us to be "free indeed".❤️🔥 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." II Timothy 1:7
Was born with Down syndrome and have started struggling with mental health towards the end of 2016 but have found a spiritual mother and licensed counselor in my church and have benefited from her wisdom and tools to cope with day-to-day stressors thank you for making this video it really helped me feel less alone because today was a very lonely day
Thank you for sharing. I had thyroid cancer. I struggled through fatigue and mood imbalances. When my levels are off I still have days of fatigue and depression. On those days I turn to an audio Bible and good audible books and teachings. I realized it's OK to not always have pen and paper. Mary say at the feet of Jesus and listened. May God give you strength and bless you as you continue to serve Him.

Hugs 🫂 I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. 💔 We also lost my mother the end of March. It is the hardest things I have ever felt. My heart and prayers go out to you Stephen 🙏
So beautiful 😻. It boggles my mind he still loves us as we are no filter no makeup no changes just the way he created us. Takes us as we are. Struggling with you pretty lady!
This was such a blessing Ashley. I think of you often and hope your transition to a new young wife is getting easier. Many of us know how hard it is to leave your parents home especially when you are so close. Your transparency is helping a lot of people. I love that about you, your sister and your mom. That transparency helps us more than you know.
Thank you so much for this... I'm in tears because it always feels like I am the only one that feels like this. No one understands the weight of my mental health struggles, how even something as simple as getting up in the morning is hard for us. So thank you so much for this.
This was extremely calming to watch-I'm going to be honest, a lot of Christian UA-camrs can feel almost cult-y, but you feel so genuine, so relatable, and I feel closer to God through you as a newer Christian. I often feel not good enough and that causes me a ton of anxiety(along with many other things..) and watching this helped alleviate the worry. That brand of coffee looks amazing, and the kitty's purring was so relaxing ^^
I've been dealing with some anxiety and depression for a while. Anytime I've voiced my struggle to my family it gets belittled. I'm told I just need to have faith and stop worrying so much. As a result of these struggles my quiet time has become almost non existent. But this video encouraged me to know that God sees me, even when no one else does. And that He knows my heart and my desire to please him. I'm happy to say that I'll be starting therapy next week, and I'm so grateful to be getting the help I need. I really loved this video💕
Hi Ashley Sweetheart, I can absolutely relate to this season being just as you have described it. I believe its spiritual warfare. I have felt the same extreme brain fog, fatigue and lack of desire to do anything which is not typically me. Not at this level. God hears your cries and knows your very need. I love the Psalms for the very reason that i think David battled the deep valley of vacillating emotions. It could also be one of the challenges of artists and creative people. Ive heard that before and i feel it at times. I love that you recognize that you dont need to worry or feel like you need to do more than just sit at Jesus's feet. Rest in Him and He will carry you through this season 💕🙏
I wholeheartedly agree! I was deep in anguish for the past few weeks…kept calling counselors, seeking mental help but when I tell you I stayed awake and scriptures kept coming to my mind? Psalms 119…reading all of it just put some peace on my heart. It’s been a tough few weeks but through our Lord…man. Can He do wonders. I pray that all of my sisters in Christ will be alright during this season!
🙏 bless you ❤️ we live in a society that's so fast paced and instant. I have depression even before the loss of my aunt and my mum this year I've been walking with Jesus through my grief and anxiety. Even on days where I am unable to get out of bed I allow myself the space , the pause to sleep or rest on my bed. To replenish the energy that I've lost cognitively and emotionally. I wake up , change my PJs and have drinks nearby, my bible and notebook and pen. The Lord is with you in the mountain tops and the deepest valley of our lives.... Psalm 139 is truly wonderful to meditate on. Give yourself permission to rest , give yourself the grace and compassion to pause to reset. Thank you so much for this beautiful video , I needed to watch it this morning - today is my rest day - may sit in the garden later. Bless you abundantly as you shine brightly for Jesus 🙏
Coffee girls, you are so inspiring. Even through the shadows, you still choose to shed light! What a blessing you have been in combating shame and stigma and putting yourselves out there to help others! I truly am grateful for the constant reminders you share in that we are NOT alone. It helps me so much! I pray God will truly walk you through all this and give you HIS perfect peace. We are all in God's sovereign hands! Thanks again!
I struggle with my mental health too, especially depression. However, if you absolutely need to, please consider going to Christian counseling and/or taking medication for your mental health! It’s part of self care as well!! God bless You, sister!!
I really needed this video. For a month now I’ve been in a season dealing with Anxiety. I have never felt this bad before but one thing I have learned is to continue to praise him in the storm. It may be difficult at times but when we praise him he brings us that peace and joy. Thank you for creating this video ❤️ thank you for spreading his word. Thank you for creating a reminder for me on how much God truly loves us.
I recently went through a season of anxiety and fatigue. I felt so guilty that I couldn't do anything right because of all my messed up emotions and physical tiredness. A verse that really encouraged me was Psalm 73:26 - My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. We may be seemingly falling apart every day, but He is faithful. His mercies are new every morning, because His faithfulness is great, even when ours is not! Thank you for sharing Ashley... It was really encouraging to hear your testimony and how you are looking to God for strength. He will carry us through!
I applaud you for bringing your struggle out. I suffer from complex ptsd. I’m not a Joyce Meyer or prosperity gospel fan. But a book she wrote made me realize who was talking to me. It wasn’t my thoughts. The devil has come to kill, steal, and destroy. Battlefield of the Mind made a profound, life-changing effect on me.
Hi Ashley! This is the season of the Devil wearing out the Saints. We need to make sure we all have our Armor Of GOD on every day. We are all feeling overwhelmed and tired. I have been sleeping a lot during the day and awake at night. Our planet is going through a lot right now. I believe we are all feeling the effects of it. Praying GOD will give you strength and plenty of rest. 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, Ashley, how this hit me spot on! I have struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life. In the last five years, however, I have been able to maintain it better by developing my personal morning routine that looks so much like yours! Starting out with coffee and Jesus! I think what I loved most in this video was you helped me to remember to stop worrying about if I am doing enough to make God love me...He already does. I can stop feeling anxious if I'm in a low season and not praying or reading my Bible as much. God's timing is perfect and your video helped me sort some things out that I've been praying on. God Bless!💜💜💜
I went through a really similar experience after our baby was born and I'd really encourage anyone experiencing this to spend some time in prayerful reflection asking God to search your heart and reveal any sin issues. For me I had two very big sin issues I hadn't been aware of which were chaining me down to fear and depression. Judging other Christians and allowing myself to spend hours in my own imagination were filling my heart and stopping me from feeling connected to God. If He does reveal anything to you it's so important to confide in others, bearing each other's burdens is a massive part of God's plan for us 💕 I think oftentimes we forget how high God's standards are and we forget about confession and asking His forgiveness!
I've suffered from depression and anxiety for years. I try to stay busy to keep the depression at bay. I have to talk to myself sometimes to make myself get up and get busy. I have a Rae Dunn sign that sits in front of me on my desk that says "get busy!" I pray constantly to the Lord to help me keep moving. Some days are better than others and prayer always helps me too. The Lord is my strength and stay and talking to Him is the best thing I do every day!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Christians don’t talk much about mental health issues. Mental health is real and it matters. I appreciate your honesty.
Thank you for this video. I struggle with mental health and in a period of my life that I want to give up. I understand not wanting to do anything and have even pushed God away because I feel emotionally unstable lately. This video reminds me that Jesus is there even when I feel alone. Thanks so much for talking about mental health for us who struggle and feel no one understand. ❤🙏🏻
I’m so glad you posted this because this is EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling lately, especially reading the Word. It hurts because as we struggle in these moments we begin to feel even worse because we feel we’re neglecting our relationship with God. But truly God sees us and how we are trying to draw close to Him even though everything around us feel chaotic BUT He is the God who brings order into chaos, and that is what He is reminding me in this morning. In my chaos, He is the order. God bless you Ashley, you are in my prayers. Thank you my sister in Christ for being vulnerable and reminding me I am not alone in this feeling 💜
So so good, his blood covers us. I'm not going through bad mental health currently - I've been travelling to visit my family in the US and my jet lag is the total opposite time and I havnt had my "normal" quiet time the past week, not spending as much time as id like to, the shame and pressure of not doing enough for him ("saving souls" I see people doing that more than I do) has been hitting, condemning me hard. But this has been such a beautiful reminder of Jesus' work on the cross for us.
This is so encouraging when so many people/Christians indirectly make me feel guilty for not being strict with bible reading prayers, study, worship etc every single day. Sometimes it's enough to get through the day in one piece and thanking Jesus for guiding my path.
I just found your channel. I am 55 and have struggled with OCD since I was young. If you are familiar with that it can cause a lot of anxiety and mental struggles. I find that there are times it is hard to read and pray. Sometimes just sleeping is the main way for me to shut off my mind. Thank good ness those times do not come as often as they used to but I also have found reading various things about Gods forgiveness, how he sees me and all wonderful things about God gives me peace. So even in the midst of my off days anxious days, blah days i know he loves me and I have to keep saying I am forgiven I am a new creation. I have to also remding myself at my age still that there are many who struggle with anxiety and some how they have to make themselves move forward. yet the days I do not feel like getting up and sleeping some I do not make myself feel guilty. I am a stay home wife. Our kids are grown and my husband understands I have rough days. I am so blessed to have the husband I have. I also know hormone imbalances can kick it in to. Or times when life is stressful it causes those of us that are more prone to worry and anxiety to have it. Thanks for being willing to share your struggles. I am sure you have helped many. God bless you.
This video spoke to me soooo much. I struggle with anxiety as well I am a Christian SAHM with 3 kids and my mind is everywhere. THAT VERSE THE LORD ALWAYS SPEAKS TO ME WHEN I LOOK OUT MY BACKYARD WINDOW. LOOK AT THE BIRDS! PRAISE THE LORD
I have OCD and I have been experiencing more stress and when I'm more stressed out my OCD symptoms get worse and that stresses me out even more. I am learning to trust God in this season of my life. I have struggled with generalized anxiety disorder for most of my life and even though I don't have that anymore, I still struggle with OCD anxiety. When I have less control over things it affects my OCD, but God is here and in control. Bible journaling helps me. Sometimes I write verses down, even entire chapters of the bible down by hand and it helps to slow down my mind and give me more understanding of what I am reading.
Thank you so so much for sharing this beautiful morning routine! I got married in October 2019 and I remember right after I got married I struggled with a case of depression. I just remember feeling so guilty that I couldn’t hardly get out of bed and I was starting fights with my brand new husband (among other depression related symptoms) I just felt like it wasn’t fair to me or to him and was that what my marriage was going to be like? (It’s not) I have since realized that asking for God’s help in navigating life’s changes is truly the best way to get through anything. This video shows me that it’s ok to do exactly what I did most days back then and call out to God even though that’s all I could do some days. THANK YOU for making this routine video there’s just so many out there that are like wake up at the crack of dawn and read your bible every morning and through this video it shows us that is ok for a morning routine to look different!! ❤❤
Thank you very much for this session. Many females suffer from anxiety, most of their lives, affecting all age groups. What you have included in your morning routine is what many physicians prescribe. I heard a sermon once where the minister said, "satan has targeted the female". But, we triumph because of Jesus. The Bible says, Jesus Christ has ALL the answers. May you and your husband continue in your ministry.
Hello everyone. First of all, my heart really goes out to Ashley & everyone else who's gone through or is going through this. I have recently experienced pretty much everything Ashley mentioned. My ministry, business, pray & bible (felt so much guilt that I let God down, & i was a weak Christian) time, and the desires God gave me seemed to slip away within a week. I felt lethargic, could barely get out of bed, brain fog, confusion, it was like a switch had been turned. Before that happened, the Lord gave me a warning in the dream that the enemy was going to try attacking me. Then all this stuff started happening soon after the dream. I listened to minister Ryan Lestrange videos on spiritual warfare. I realized that I was under strategic attack by the enemy to not only hinder my progress but alter my God-given destiny. Ashley, you are a beautiful light, and sharing what you're going through will not only help you but others as well. I pray that everyone who's been feeling this way prayerfully considers the Ryan Lestrange spiritual warfare videos. It has empowered & enlightened me as well. Be blessed, my sisters in Christ...
I’m so proud of you for making this girl God is with you each and every single day. Thank you Jesus for such a sweet girl that makes this beautiful UA-cam videos.
Thank you for this video. As a younger woman I personally experienced God healing me from anxiety and depression as I read the scriptures and prayed. If anyone is experiencing anxiety and depression I encourage you to continue reading your Bible and praying.
Thanks so much Ashley for this real and raw morning routine. I relate a lot, sometimes also feeling like I’m not “doing enough” for God-but He sees and loves me even though it is sometimes harder to find joy these days. Lots of love to you all!♥️
My biggest struggle is temptation, thoughts and addictions. This really helped my mind get going on how much God cares for me. Its good to know thay im not alone with struggling to read the bible. Sometimes i will just lay down in my bed, read one verse and pray, even if its a verse i already know or a really familiar passage like psalms. You don't have to even read the whole thing. Thank you for this so much ut encoraged me to stop giving in and start fighting again.
Hi sister, I’ve been learning more about food & wellness ever since I ran into some health issues. I found out coffee burns out our adrenal glands and anxiety can come from our gut. Get some tests done with your doctor like your blood sugar levels & even a stool test. I truly believe there is not enough Christians in the health & wellness space and this is something that is often overlooked in our community. You mentioned you’ve been asking for help from God, and I believe one way to help ourselves is through the fruits & veggies he created for us. If you see this comment please consider what I’ve shared!
I had a time when I was constantly too tired. I went to the doctors and let my vitamin levels and so on be checked out. Turned out that vitamin B12 and vitamin D were very, very low. Since I use supplements for that (I let my doctor check the products I use) I felt a lot better. That must not be the case for anybody, but I highly recommend to be checked out, too, if you haven't. Much love 💛 Anne
Thank you for being venerable & open in this video. I needed this this morning.I struggle with depression, insomnia & anxiety. Lately my depression has really gotten the best of me. I'm also exhausted from not really sleeping at night and because of my depression. I pray you and everyone struggling through this season.
I definitely admire you for being honest. I was the deepest depression I’ve been in about a month ago. It was so hard to wake up and not immediately want to disappear from the world. God has guided me through it all and I am in a better state of mind. But again thank you for letting us be a witness of a wonderful testimony to come!
Ash thank you for sharing your struggles. It is so good to have a community of believers that always put the spotlight on Jesus Christ. It is in Him where we gain strength and peace!🙏🏽❤
Thank you so much for sharing. As a University student, I worry a lot of how my relationship with God will be when I leave school, because of the days when it's just so hard get out of bed. I am so happy that there is a focus on mental health from the Christian lens. Thank you so much
Praying for you Ashley. I’ve been feeling like this too some nights I just fall asleep listening to the Bible app in tears. Even in the unknown we have God. ❤️
Thank you Ashley, as someone who suffers from extreme anxiety and currently walking through a tough season, your video was such a blessing to watch. God bless x
Thank you for sharing. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for the past couple months. I have never experienced this before and in my culture, it is a stigma to talk about this. It may be perceived as un-spiritual or sometimes demonic. I am so ashamed of my inadequacy to satisfy God. Your transparency helps me understand that there are so many real people who go through the same things and are not putting on a facade. May the Lord bless you.
Hi sweet Ashley, i just want you to know that I’m praying for you. I just came out of a season filled with sadness, heaviness and just such a lack of energy. God showed me again that He’s faithful and i know He will get you through too. ❤
I'm feeling sad with you, there are a lot of people that have depression. I did have a depression and also got to the hospital for it. This helped me get free from it. Don't compare yourself with others, and don''t conform to the patterns of this world. I know this can be hard but it isn't impossible to do. You are loved by Christ, and you are good the way you are. It's like muscle you can stop comparing with others. Also, it can really be helpful to go to a therapist. I'm now no longer depressed anymore, I struggle with it for years. I hope this may help. And I know it can be difficult.
God sees your love and intention to spend time with Him. When I’m anxious and can’t sleep, I lie there and just spend time with Him. Doing nothing in silence with Him. And in a season, it’s enough. Prayers for you Ash, it’s hard being a new wife and away from your family. I did it too and with a new born. It’s ok. This will pass. We are now married 24 years and our kids are adults. God bless you sweetheart ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for making this video. I am really struggling right now. I have suffered with mental illness since I was a kid. This video has made me realize it's okay. I need God and want God to continue in my life. I'm having a hard time spending time with him like I want to.
I think a lot of the extreme tiredness, anxiety and stress has to do with getting back to regular life after Covid. Everyone is going through it and we want our normal life/routine back yet nothing is the same and we don't know what regular life is supposed to look like. Add life changes like deaths, changes in jobs, etc and everything just becomes exhausting and overwhelming. Stay close to God everyone.
Praying for you Ashley!!! Cling to God, wait patiently on the Lord and he will deliver you! May God strengthen you my dear sister, thank you for being a blessing to our lives! 🙌🏻🙏🏼🤗
My depression has taken over my entire life. It has gotten worse since 2012 after my mom died. I can't find a reason to get out of bed. I don't have a motivation for anything. I don't read my Bible. I listen to audio Bible. Thank you for sharing this.
I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder back in 2021. I also struggle with a tad bit of PTSD. I am grateful for the grace of God each day, that He keeps my mind and heart steady, and how He draws me close when I am struggling. I also struggle with loneliness as well. I just graduated with a degree in clinical mental health counseling, and so I truly believe that this thorn has helped me to relate to others better. When I am weak He is strong and I am okay with that. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Loved hearing how your hubby helps you. When I’m down, my hubby will give me a list of three things to accomplish that day. Typically it includes taking a shower, plus some very low level maintenance things. I don’t always get them done, but I just feel his understanding and that he is reaching out.
Thank you so much for making this video I’ve been in a season where my anxiety has been awful. Living life has felt 10x harder than normal. Glad it’s not just me 😂🫶🏽
Thank you for opening up in this way Ashley. I can relate to everything you said. Reading the Bible and journaling my prayers and God’s voice always helps me. This video really helped me not to feel alone in what I’ve been going through. To everyone who watched this video and anyone reading this I pray that God show us how powerful His word is and how much He loves us. ❤
Oh Ashley! This is just what I needed to hear! God just spoke to me through you! I have been struggling with the exact same thing in this season of my life right now. Me and my husband have just entered a new ministry position and it’s been a tough season of transition and it has brought anxiety and lack of reliance on God but It’s wonderful to know I am not alone in it and I can and will get through it by the power of Christ. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this with us. ❤ Also if its ok please pray for me and my family, that there be peace in our home and in our hearts. Its breaking me seeing them/us fight so much these days 💔 Please pray that GOD bless me with a stable job, so that I will never have to borrow and beg anymore. Im tired of being judged, mocked and getting hate only because I have the courage to ask for help. Please pray that me and my family's mind and body stay healthy always. I badly need a miracle right now. 🙏❤️
I pray for your complete healing and deliverance. I’m in a very hard season where I’m anxious and get depressed but mine is more circumstantial. I just feel at times like the circumstances are so overwhelming and it can feel like I’m drowning!
I enjoyed your video and was blessed by it. I have had depression all my life along with a seizure disorder. I do not have anxiety but I have had moments when I have felt anxious. I thank you for being open and sharing what has helped you in times when you feel exhausted and it is so difficult to navigate life. I know God has pulled me through many seasons when I was unable to do it on my own.
thank you for keeping it real. I am going through exactly the same thing. And this simply lifts me up. A Savior that loves me when I can't keep up, He lifted me up through the truth in your video. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾 I went through torment and I struggle with spiritual warfare and this is exactly what it feels like, God bless you Ashley and I’ll be praying for you too ❤
Bless you Ash! Thank you for being vulnerable, it was hard for me to open up and be honest about my desire to be in the word had started to fade but I felt him reminding me he is the same on my best day as he is on my worst. I love you and thankful for you💗
What helps me is to stop give God Thanks for all things! Then I began to speak the word of God over my thoughts. Which gives me so much comfort knowing God is with me and for me! (Ps 34:19) God bless you in Jesus Name ❤
Hi there💖 God bless you sister!! I’m praying for you! I wanted to reach out and say that I feel I may possibly be discerning here but I’m going to share that I’ve followed your channel for a long time… I have noticed that as I view the history of your videos and content, things get significantly different after you got married… I will tell you as a girl who loved God with all her heart.. I wanted to g by e married and believed in till death do us part.. but 20 years and 3 children God himself had to show me something else… the confusing hardship that was my marriage all those years was a covert narcissistic struggle, ( I thought it was me, mental health and depression ) I loved God and am also a pillar of dedication to God in my family so of course I would never think of leaving my marriage( or so I thought) that I never dealt with to the degree I did after I got married… right after I got married I started having severe anxiety and depression, I was so sure God brought us together etc,.. … all these years later, I know why now. It was confusing and so hard to navigate but the lord did it all as I submitted completely to him which I didn’t know how to do completely at the beginning of my marriage but it was a massive testimony of how God delivered me and I want to share a resource with you to check out… because if you can see the truth sooner if this is the case I want to help and of course only God knows about it all… it’s by an amazing Christian woman called is it me? Making sense of your confusing marriage by Natalie Hoffman… please don’t discard my true heart for you… just at least read the book.. of course I’m not telling you what to do from there.. God bless you always❤ from a sister in the Lord who cares 🌟
I really love and appreciate you making this video. As a single mother of 3, it's a bit much. Sometimes I do need to go before the father and ask for some type of relief, I worry about do much. But this video has helped me. I love you girls videos, it helps me in more ways than one. Be blessed, and keep up the good work
thank you for this video. ive been in a season of healing after going through a painful breakup, watching my sister's health go downward and seeing my finances struggle. this video was such an encouragement to rest in the Lord :)
I have struggled with Anxiety since I was a teenager, now I can add Depression along with it since my husband died of Lung Cancer. I have done grief counseling, and take medication for it. We must always remember God is with us no matter where we are. I have also learned that breathing techniques can help. Love ya Ashley!❤
Hi Ashley, my heart goes out to you and I know and relate to some of these things. One thing that I don’t usually have, which I am thankful for, but when I do ~the Lord taught me to rebuke the spirit of anxiety~~ it feels like a sparkler in my flesh…and I can feel it leave. It’s because I don’t have it often that I can recognize it. When I am fatigued and feeling low on energy, there are scriptures that you can pray over yourself which I’m sure you know very well, and I just wanted to encourage you that there also are other things you can do~ during low energy times. You can do something completely different than your usual to bring variety , and that the Lord could lead you to do with a quiet and gentle physical activity. One thing I thought of for myself was playing online pool and praying for all of my opponents were from all around the world. Another idea that I thought of for you, if you want~ Is that you are a great good artist, and you could paint a wall mural and put the word of God on it, the whole verse, and commission yourself to paint for other people on their walls. It’s just a thought, and it could bring in a lot more income, and I know the Lord would give you the strength to do that you can do it together with Him. Bless you🥰🕊✨
I once saw a quote from a therapist that said “You are not lazy. You only have a certain amount of energy and right now you are using it to survive”. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic panic attacks and I was constantly tired. My psychiatrist told me that I need to prioritize my rest times because that is how our body recovers. I used to feel like I was wasting my day if I napped. I had such a sleep deficit that it started to effect my ability to think straight. We are such a rushed society that it makes us feel guilty to slow down. I prayed constantly that God would help me through my mental health struggles and he answered by placing the right professionals in my path. I hope that you find relief soon.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. That is so beautiful. Thank you. So encouraging for me to hear.
💯 Nothing can take the place of needed rest
The same with me, may God help us😔
Anxiety and depression is not from God, it's a spirit. And it needs to come out by deliverance.
Recognise that that's not coming from you, those thoughts are the enemy's voice.
I'm saying this from a place of having experienced depression in the past.
This year my eyes were just opened and the Holy Spirit told me "this is not you".
I couldn't understand why I was having these feelings when nothing was wrong really, I was in a good place with God, but I realised that in the mornings, was when the enemy would seek to attack me emotionally.
And I didn't understand it until, BAM. It clicked.
This is NOT from me..
And when it did that I rebuke the spirit, and it's harder for the enemy to attack because I now KNOW his tactics.
Hopefully this helps someone, that's the goal.
He has called us to be "free indeed".❤️🔥
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

What she's described is adrenal exhaustion
Often this can be correct... mostly with food...

My big struggle is grief. I lost my mother a few months ago and it's hard to deal with
I am so sorry for your loss 🥺💔
Hugs 🫂 and kisses to feel better. It will never be the same, but God will provide a safe shelter for your heart.
Hugs 🫂
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. 💔
We also lost my mother the end of March. It is the hardest things I have ever felt.
My heart and prayers go out to you Stephen 🙏
Time will heal you...
I am very sorry for your loss 😢
About 30 minutes ago I had a meltdown. I’m so emotional right now. So many changes. I so needed this. ❤
God is with you and sees you. Change is SO HARD! You are not alone!!
So beautiful 😻. It boggles my mind he still loves us as we are no filter no makeup no changes just the way he created us. Takes us as we are. Struggling with you pretty lady!
This was such a blessing Ashley. I think of you often and hope your transition to a new young wife is getting easier. Many of us know how hard it is to leave your parents home especially when you are so close.
Your transparency is helping a lot of people. I love that about you, your sister and your mom. That transparency helps us more than you know.
Thanks for thinking of me :) that is so sweet! Thank you for your encouraging comment!
Thank you so much for this... I'm in tears because it always feels like I am the only one that feels like this. No one understands the weight of my mental health struggles, how even something as simple as getting up in the morning is hard for us. So thank you so much for this.
This was extremely calming to watch-I'm going to be honest, a lot of Christian UA-camrs can feel almost cult-y, but you feel so genuine, so relatable, and I feel closer to God through you as a newer Christian. I often feel not good enough and that causes me a ton of anxiety(along with many other things..) and watching this helped alleviate the worry. That brand of coffee looks amazing, and the kitty's purring was so relaxing ^^
I've been dealing with some anxiety and depression for a while. Anytime I've voiced my struggle to my family it gets belittled. I'm told I just need to have faith and stop worrying so much. As a result of these struggles my quiet time has become almost non existent. But this video encouraged me to know that God sees me, even when no one else does. And that He knows my heart and my desire to please him. I'm happy to say that I'll be starting therapy next week, and I'm so grateful to be getting the help I need. I really loved this video💕
I’m sorry your family belittled your struggle. Your feelings are valid and real. God is with you!
Hi Ashley Sweetheart, I can absolutely relate to this season being just as you have described it. I believe its spiritual warfare. I have felt the same extreme brain fog, fatigue and lack of desire to do anything which is not typically me. Not at this level. God hears your cries and knows your very need. I love the Psalms for the very reason that i think David battled the deep valley of vacillating emotions. It could also be one of the challenges of artists and creative people. Ive heard that before and i feel it at times. I love that you recognize that you dont need to worry or feel like you need to do more than just sit at Jesus's feet. Rest in Him and He will carry you through this season 💕🙏
Thank you so much friend! Such an encouraging comment :)
@@coffeeandbibletime You're welcome 🥰
I wholeheartedly agree! I was deep in anguish for the past few weeks…kept calling counselors, seeking mental help but when I tell you I stayed awake and scriptures kept coming to my mind? Psalms 119…reading all of it just put some peace on my heart. It’s been a tough few weeks but through our Lord…man. Can He do wonders. I pray that all of my sisters in Christ will be alright during this season!
🙏 bless you ❤️ we live in a society that's so fast paced and instant. I have depression even before the loss of my aunt and my mum this year I've been walking with Jesus through my grief and anxiety. Even on days where I am unable to get out of bed I allow myself the space , the pause to sleep or rest on my bed. To replenish the energy that I've lost cognitively and emotionally. I wake up , change my PJs and have drinks nearby, my bible and notebook and pen. The Lord is with you in the mountain tops and the deepest valley of our lives.... Psalm 139 is truly wonderful to meditate on. Give yourself permission to rest , give yourself the grace and compassion to pause to reset.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video , I needed to watch it this morning - today is my rest day - may sit in the garden later.
Bless you abundantly as you shine brightly for Jesus 🙏
Coffee girls, you are so inspiring. Even through the shadows, you still choose to shed light! What a blessing you have been in combating shame and stigma and putting yourselves out there to help others! I truly am grateful for the constant reminders you share in that we are NOT alone. It helps me so much! I pray God will truly walk you through all this and give you HIS perfect peace. We are all in God's sovereign hands! Thanks again!
Amen!!! Thank you so much friend :))))
I struggle with my mental health too, especially depression. However, if you absolutely need to, please consider going to Christian counseling and/or taking medication for your mental health! It’s part of self care as well!! God bless You, sister!!
Yes I agree. I see a counselor and it helps me a lot :)
I really needed this video. For a month now I’ve been in a season dealing with Anxiety. I have never felt this bad before but one thing I have learned is to continue to praise him in the storm. It may be difficult at times but when we praise him he brings us that peace and joy. Thank you for creating this video ❤️ thank you for spreading his word. Thank you for creating a reminder for me on how much God truly loves us.
I recently went through a season of anxiety and fatigue. I felt so guilty that I couldn't do anything right because of all my messed up emotions and physical tiredness. A verse that really encouraged me was Psalm 73:26 - My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. We may be seemingly falling apart every day, but He is faithful. His mercies are new every morning, because His faithfulness is great, even when ours is not! Thank you for sharing Ashley... It was really encouraging to hear your testimony and how you are looking to God for strength. He will carry us through!
I applaud you for bringing your struggle out. I suffer from complex ptsd. I’m not a Joyce Meyer or prosperity gospel fan. But a book she wrote made me realize who was talking to me. It wasn’t my thoughts. The devil has come to kill, steal, and destroy. Battlefield of the Mind made a profound, life-changing effect on me.
Hi Ashley! This is the season of the Devil wearing out the Saints. We need to make sure we all have our Armor Of GOD on every day. We are all feeling overwhelmed and tired. I have been sleeping a lot during the day and awake at night. Our planet is going through a lot right now. I believe we are all feeling the effects of it. Praying GOD will give you strength and plenty of rest. 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, Ashley, how this hit me spot on! I have struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life. In the last five years, however, I have been able to maintain it better by developing my personal morning routine that looks so much like yours! Starting out with coffee and Jesus! I think what I loved most in this video was you helped me to remember to stop worrying about if I am doing enough to make God love me...He already does. I can stop feeling anxious if I'm in a low season and not praying or reading my Bible as much. God's timing is perfect and your video helped me sort some things out that I've been praying on. God Bless!💜💜💜
I went through a really similar experience after our baby was born and I'd really encourage anyone experiencing this to spend some time in prayerful reflection asking God to search your heart and reveal any sin issues. For me I had two very big sin issues I hadn't been aware of which were chaining me down to fear and depression. Judging other Christians and allowing myself to spend hours in my own imagination were filling my heart and stopping me from feeling connected to God. If He does reveal anything to you it's so important to confide in others, bearing each other's burdens is a massive part of God's plan for us 💕
I think oftentimes we forget how high God's standards are and we forget about confession and asking His forgiveness!
I've suffered from depression and anxiety for years. I try to stay busy to keep the depression at bay. I have to talk to myself sometimes to make myself get up and get busy. I have a Rae Dunn sign that sits in front of me on my desk that says "get busy!" I pray constantly to the Lord to help me keep moving. Some days are better than others and prayer always helps me too. The Lord is my strength and stay and talking to Him is the best thing I do every day!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Christians don’t talk much about mental health issues. Mental health is real and it matters. I appreciate your honesty.
Thank you for this video. I struggle with mental health and in a period of my life that I want to give up. I understand not wanting to do anything and have even pushed God away because I feel emotionally unstable lately. This video reminds me that Jesus is there even when I feel alone. Thanks so much for talking about mental health for us who struggle and feel no one understand. ❤🙏🏻
❤❤❤ You are definitely not alone. Praying for you my friend!
I’m so glad you posted this because this is EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling lately, especially reading the Word. It hurts because as we struggle in these moments we begin to feel even worse because we feel we’re neglecting our relationship with God. But truly God sees us and how we are trying to draw close to Him even though everything around us feel chaotic BUT He is the God who brings order into chaos, and that is what He is reminding me in this morning. In my chaos, He is the order. God bless you Ashley, you are in my prayers. Thank you my sister in Christ for being vulnerable and reminding me I am not alone in this feeling 💜
So so good, his blood covers us. I'm not going through bad mental health currently - I've been travelling to visit my family in the US and my jet lag is the total opposite time and I havnt had my "normal" quiet time the past week, not spending as much time as id like to, the shame and pressure of not doing enough for him ("saving souls" I see people doing that more than I do) has been hitting, condemning me hard. But this has been such a beautiful reminder of Jesus' work on the cross for us.
This is so encouraging when so many people/Christians indirectly make me feel guilty for not being strict with bible reading prayers, study, worship etc every single day. Sometimes it's enough to get through the day in one piece and thanking Jesus for guiding my path.
I just found your channel. I am 55 and have struggled with OCD since I was young. If you are familiar with that it can cause a lot of anxiety and mental struggles. I find that there are times it is hard to read and pray. Sometimes just sleeping is the main way for me to shut off my mind. Thank good ness those times do not come as often as they used to but I also have found reading various things about Gods forgiveness, how he sees me and all wonderful things about God gives me peace. So even in the midst of my off days anxious days, blah days i know he loves me and I have to keep saying I am forgiven I am a new creation. I have to also remding myself at my age still that there are many who struggle with anxiety and some how they have to make themselves move forward. yet the days I do not feel like getting up and sleeping some I do not make myself feel guilty. I am a stay home wife. Our kids are grown and my husband understands I have rough days. I am so blessed to have the husband I have. I also know hormone imbalances can kick it in to. Or times when life is stressful it causes those of us that are more prone to worry and anxiety to have it. Thanks for being willing to share your struggles. I am sure you have helped many. God bless you.
This video spoke to me soooo much. I struggle with anxiety as well I am a Christian SAHM with 3 kids and my mind is everywhere. THAT VERSE THE LORD ALWAYS SPEAKS TO ME WHEN I LOOK OUT MY BACKYARD WINDOW. LOOK AT THE BIRDS! PRAISE THE LORD
I have OCD and I have been experiencing more stress and when I'm more stressed out my OCD symptoms get worse and that stresses me out even more. I am learning to trust God in this season of my life. I have struggled with generalized anxiety disorder for most of my life and even though I don't have that anymore, I still struggle with OCD anxiety. When I have less control over things it affects my OCD, but God is here and in control. Bible journaling helps me. Sometimes I write verses down, even entire chapters of the bible down by hand and it helps to slow down my mind and give me more understanding of what I am reading.
Thank you so so much for sharing this beautiful morning routine! I got married in October 2019 and I remember right after I got married I struggled with a case of depression. I just remember feeling so guilty that I couldn’t hardly get out of bed and I was starting fights with my brand new husband (among other depression related symptoms) I just felt like it wasn’t fair to me or to him and was that what my marriage was going to be like? (It’s not) I have since realized that asking for God’s help in navigating life’s changes is truly the best way to get through anything. This video shows me that it’s ok to do exactly what I did most days back then and call out to God even though that’s all I could do some days. THANK YOU for making this routine video there’s just so many out there that are like wake up at the crack of dawn and read your bible every morning and through this video it shows us that is ok for a morning routine to look different!! ❤❤
Thank you very much for this session. Many females suffer from anxiety, most of their lives, affecting all age groups. What you have included in your morning routine is what many physicians prescribe. I heard a sermon once where the minister said, "satan has targeted the female". But, we triumph because of Jesus. The Bible says, Jesus Christ has ALL the answers. May you and your husband continue in your ministry.
Hello everyone. First of all, my heart really goes out to Ashley & everyone else who's gone through or is going through this. I have recently experienced pretty much everything Ashley mentioned. My ministry, business, pray & bible (felt so much guilt that I let God down, & i was a weak Christian) time, and the desires God gave me seemed to slip away within a week. I felt lethargic, could barely get out of bed, brain fog, confusion, it was like a switch had been turned. Before that happened, the Lord gave me a warning in the dream that the enemy was going to try attacking me. Then all this stuff started happening soon after the dream. I listened to minister Ryan Lestrange videos on spiritual warfare. I realized that I was under strategic attack by the enemy to not only hinder my progress but alter my God-given destiny. Ashley, you are a beautiful light, and sharing what you're going through will not only help you but others as well. I pray that everyone who's been feeling this way prayerfully considers the Ryan Lestrange spiritual warfare videos. It has empowered & enlightened me as well. Be blessed, my sisters in Christ...
Ryan Lestrange"One of the top Symptoms of Spiritual Attack" is one of the videos I watched among other videos he's done on spiritual warfare.
I’m so proud of you for making this girl God is with you each and every single day. Thank you Jesus for such a sweet girl that makes this beautiful UA-cam videos.
Thank you for this video. As a younger woman I personally experienced God healing me from anxiety and depression as I read the scriptures and prayed. If anyone is experiencing anxiety and depression I encourage you to continue reading your Bible and praying.
Thanks so much Ashley for this real and raw morning routine. I relate a lot, sometimes also feeling like I’m not “doing enough” for God-but He sees and loves me even though it is sometimes harder to find joy these days. Lots of love to you all!♥️
I am praying for you!
Thank you for sharing. As a Christian I always felt I was wrong for feeling this way. But I have grown and gotten stronger with the word of God.
My biggest struggle is temptation, thoughts and addictions. This really helped my mind get going on how much God cares for me. Its good to know thay im not alone with struggling to read the bible. Sometimes i will just lay down in my bed, read one verse and pray, even if its a verse i already know or a really familiar passage like psalms. You don't have to even read the whole thing. Thank you for this so much ut encoraged me to stop giving in and start fighting again.
She doesn't know how amazing she is💝 God please make it all easier💝
Hi sister, I’ve been learning more about food & wellness ever since I ran into some health issues. I found out coffee burns out our adrenal glands and anxiety can come from our gut. Get some tests done with your doctor like your blood sugar levels & even a stool test. I truly believe there is not enough Christians in the health & wellness space and this is something that is often overlooked in our community. You mentioned you’ve been asking for help from God, and I believe one way to help ourselves is through the fruits & veggies he created for us. If you see this comment please consider what I’ve shared!
I had a time when I was constantly too tired. I went to the doctors and let my vitamin levels and so on be checked out. Turned out that vitamin B12 and vitamin D were very, very low. Since I use supplements for that (I let my doctor check the products I use) I felt a lot better. That must not be the case for anybody, but I highly recommend to be checked out, too, if you haven't. Much love 💛 Anne
Thank you for being venerable & open in this video. I needed this this morning.I struggle with depression, insomnia & anxiety. Lately my depression has really gotten the best of me. I'm also exhausted from not really sleeping at night and because of my depression. I pray you and everyone struggling through this season.
I definitely admire you for being honest. I was the deepest depression I’ve been in about a month ago. It was so hard to wake up and not immediately want to disappear from the world. God has guided me through it all and I am in a better state of mind. But again thank you for letting us be a witness of a wonderful testimony to come!
Ash thank you for sharing your struggles. It is so good to have a community of believers that always put the spotlight on Jesus Christ. It is in Him where we gain strength and peace!🙏🏽❤
Thank you so much for sharing. As a University student, I worry a lot of how my relationship with God will be when I leave school, because of the days when it's just so hard get out of bed. I am so happy that there is a focus on mental health from the Christian lens. Thank you so much
Praying for you Ashley. I’ve been feeling like this too some nights I just fall asleep listening to the Bible app in tears. Even in the unknown we have God. ❤️
oh, darling! all i can say is "thanks, thank you!!" for share this videos, your struggles, all for glory of Christ. we love you.
Your cat looks so comfortable with your routine. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Ashley, as someone who suffers from extreme anxiety and currently walking through a tough season, your video was such a blessing to watch. God bless x
Thank you for sharing. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for the past couple months. I have never experienced this before and in my culture, it is a stigma to talk about this. It may be perceived as un-spiritual or sometimes demonic. I am so ashamed of my inadequacy to satisfy God. Your transparency helps me understand that there are so many real people who go through the same things and are not putting on a facade. May the Lord bless you.
I am praying for you Sister! Jesus is drawn to us in our struggles, so you never walk alone! XO.
I cried as i watched this. God definitely spoke to me ♥️ thank you for sharing. God is working powerfully in and through you for His glory ❤
Wow that was beautiful. Thank you for being so open and honest for those of us who struggle with mental health as Christians. Hugs!
I've had general anxiety since I was a kid too , the Lord helps me with this ❤
Hi sweet Ashley, i just want you to know that I’m praying for you.
I just came out of a season filled with sadness, heaviness and just such a lack of energy. God showed me again that He’s faithful and i know He will get you through too. ❤
I'm feeling sad with you, there are a lot of people that have depression. I did have a depression and also got to the hospital for it. This helped me get free from it. Don't compare yourself with others, and don''t conform to the patterns of this world. I know this can be hard but it isn't impossible to do. You are loved by Christ, and you are good the way you are. It's like muscle you can stop comparing with others. Also, it can really be helpful to go to a therapist. I'm now no longer depressed anymore, I struggle with it for years. I hope this may help. And I know it can be difficult.
God sees your love and intention to spend time with Him. When I’m anxious and can’t sleep, I lie there and just spend time with Him. Doing nothing in silence with Him. And in a season, it’s enough. Prayers for you Ash, it’s hard being a new wife and away from your family. I did it too and with a new born. It’s ok. This will pass. We are now married 24 years and our kids are adults. God bless you sweetheart ❤❤❤
Oh precious Child of God. My heart goes out to you. May the good LORD help you through this in JESUS name. Hugs.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am really struggling right now. I have suffered with mental illness since I was a kid. This video has made me realize it's okay. I need God and want God to continue in my life. I'm having a hard time spending time with him like I want to.
I think a lot of the extreme tiredness, anxiety and stress has to do with getting back to regular life after Covid. Everyone is going through it and we want our normal life/routine back yet nothing is the same and we don't know what regular life is supposed to look like. Add life changes like deaths, changes in jobs, etc and everything just becomes exhausting and overwhelming. Stay close to God everyone.
Praying for you Ashley!!! Cling to God, wait patiently on the Lord and he will deliver you! May God strengthen you my dear sister, thank you for being a blessing to our lives! 🙌🏻🙏🏼🤗
You have such a beautiful and godly radiance, Ashley. You are truly an inspiration!
Please tell about self esteem and taming the tongue and also navigating in a secular society.
My depression has taken over my entire life. It has gotten worse since 2012 after my mom died. I can't find a reason to get out of bed. I don't have a motivation for anything. I don't read my Bible. I listen to audio Bible. Thank you for sharing this.
your vulnerability is everything, thank you for being so real 🤎
This is so amazing. I feel like taking medication for anxiety makes me weak, but God says where I am weak he is strong
I appreciate your vulnerability. And your desire to still lay your issues at the feet of Jesus. ❤️
I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder back in 2021. I also struggle with a tad bit of PTSD. I am grateful for the grace of God each day, that He keeps my mind and heart steady, and how He draws me close when I am struggling. I also struggle with loneliness as well. I just graduated with a degree in clinical mental health counseling, and so I truly believe that this thorn has helped me to relate to others better. When I am weak He is strong and I am okay with that. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dear sweet girl I understand this feeling and you’ll get through this as you have helped us with your videos so many times ❤️ God has got this !
Gosh 😢 beautiful sister in Christ thank you!!!!!!!!!!
I also have anxiety, and can relate to what you are saying in this video. Life can be tough, but thank you for being an encouragement to us!
I cried listening to this. Thank you!! May God bless you!
I struggle with PTSD. This video has really helped me. Thank you! :)
Loved hearing how your hubby helps you. When I’m down, my hubby will give me a list of three things to accomplish that day. Typically it includes taking a shower, plus some very low level maintenance things. I don’t always get them done, but I just feel his understanding and that he is reaching out.
Thank you so much for making this video I’ve been in a season where my anxiety has been awful. Living life has felt 10x harder than normal. Glad it’s not just me 😂🫶🏽
Thank you for opening up in this way Ashley. I can relate to everything you said. Reading the Bible and journaling my prayers and God’s voice always helps me. This video really helped me not to feel alone in what I’ve been going through. To everyone who watched this video and anyone reading this I pray that God show us how powerful His word is and how much He loves us. ❤
Oh Ashley! This is just what I needed to hear! God just spoke to me through you! I have been struggling with the exact same thing in this season of my life right now. Me and my husband have just entered a new ministry position and it’s been a tough season of transition and it has brought anxiety and lack of reliance on God but It’s wonderful to know I am not alone in it and I can and will get through it by the power of Christ.
Thank you.
Thank you for your vulnerability and your honestly. Your not alone my sister❤️🙏🏼🕊
This is ministering to someone bigtime! To know a ministers wife pushes on experiencing human things being so vulnerable . Thank You so much ❤
Thanks for sharing this with us. ❤ Also if its ok please pray for me and my family, that there be peace in our home and in our hearts. Its breaking me seeing them/us fight so much these days 💔
Please pray that GOD bless me with a stable job, so that I will never have to borrow and beg anymore. Im tired of being judged, mocked and getting hate only because I have the courage to ask for help. Please pray that me and my family's mind and body stay healthy always. I badly need a miracle right now. 🙏❤️
Praying for you❤
I pray for your complete healing and deliverance. I’m in a very hard season where I’m anxious and get depressed but mine is more circumstantial. I just feel at times like the circumstances are so overwhelming and it can feel like I’m drowning!
I enjoyed your video and was blessed by it. I have had depression all my life along with a seizure disorder. I do not have anxiety but I have had moments when I have felt anxious. I thank you for being open and sharing what has helped you in times when you feel exhausted and it is so difficult to navigate life. I know God has pulled me through many seasons when I was unable to do it on my own.
thank you for keeping it real.
I am going through exactly the same thing.
And this simply lifts me up. A Savior that loves me when I can't keep up, He lifted me up through the truth in your video.
Thank you!
Great video. I pray for true peace and joy that comes from God. Please, please read about Inderal/Propranolol for anxiety. 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾 I went through torment and I struggle with spiritual warfare and this is exactly what it feels like, God bless you Ashley and I’ll be praying for you too ❤
Bless you Ash! Thank you for being vulnerable, it was hard for me to open up and be honest about my desire to be in the word had started to fade but I felt him reminding me he is the same on my best day as he is on my worst. I love you and thankful for you💗
Ashley, you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how much I needed this, oh my Lord!!!! 🥹🫶💕
Thank you! Thank you so much! ❤ you’re in my prayers as well as everyone in our coffee & bible time family
Thank you so much!❤
thank you for sharing
What helps me is to stop give God Thanks for all things! Then I began to speak the word of God over my thoughts. Which gives me so much comfort knowing God is with me and for me! (Ps 34:19)
God bless you in Jesus Name ❤
Not me having a mini panic attact and coming across this video. Thank you for yielding to the Lord.❤

Hi there💖 God bless you sister!! I’m praying for you! I wanted to reach out and say that I feel I may possibly be discerning here but I’m going to share that I’ve followed your channel for a long time… I have noticed that as I view the history of your videos and content, things get significantly different after you got married… I will tell you as a girl who loved God with all her heart.. I wanted to g by e married and believed in till death do us part.. but 20 years and 3 children God himself had to show me something else… the confusing hardship that was my marriage all those years was a covert narcissistic struggle, ( I thought it was me, mental health and depression ) I loved God and am also a pillar of dedication to God in my family so of course I would never think of leaving my marriage( or so I thought) that I never dealt with to the degree I did after I got married… right after I got married I started having severe anxiety and depression, I was so sure God brought us together etc,.. … all these years later, I know why now. It was confusing and so hard to navigate but the lord did it all as I submitted completely to him which I didn’t know how to do completely at the beginning of my marriage but it was a massive testimony of how God delivered me and I want to share a resource with you to check out… because if you can see the truth sooner if this is the case I want to help and of course only God knows about it all… it’s by an amazing Christian woman called is it me? Making sense of your confusing marriage by Natalie Hoffman… please don’t discard my true heart for you… just at least read the book.. of course I’m not telling you what to do from there.. God bless you always❤ from a sister in the Lord who cares 🌟
I have been watching your UA-cam channel for two years now. Your videos are so inspirational and uplifting. Thank you for posting faith based content
This helps me ALOT….I’ve been struggling too this week and am thankful I found this…. ❤❤❤
I'm so glad!
Super helpful in this season I’m in rn. ❤ chronic anxiety and depression for a long time but this week has been extra hard. Thanks for posting!
I really love and appreciate you making this video. As a single mother of 3, it's a bit much. Sometimes I do need to go before the father and ask for some type of relief, I worry about do much. But this video has helped me. I love you girls videos, it helps me in more ways than one. Be blessed, and keep up the good work
thank you for this video. ive been in a season of healing after going through a painful breakup, watching my sister's health go downward and seeing my finances struggle. this video was such an encouragement to rest in the Lord :)
Thank you, I cried watching and listening to this. I needed it. God bless you ❤
Praying for you, Ash.♥️🥺🙌🏻
I am thankful I found this channel. It feeds my soul.
I have struggled with Anxiety since I was a teenager, now I can add Depression along with it since my husband died of Lung Cancer. I have done grief counseling, and take medication for it. We must always remember God is with us no matter where we are. I have also learned that breathing techniques can help. Love ya Ashley!❤
Hi Ashley, my heart goes out to you and I know and relate to some of these things.
One thing that I don’t usually have, which I am thankful for, but when I do ~the Lord taught me to rebuke the spirit of anxiety~~ it feels like a sparkler in my flesh…and I can feel it leave. It’s because I don’t have it often that I can recognize it.
When I am fatigued and feeling low on energy, there are scriptures that you can pray over yourself which I’m sure you know very well, and I just wanted to encourage you that there also are other things you can do~ during low energy times. You can do something completely different than your usual to bring variety , and that the Lord could lead you to do with a quiet and gentle physical activity. One thing I thought of for myself was playing online pool and praying for all of my opponents were from all around the world.
Another idea that I thought of for you, if you want~ Is that you are a great good artist, and you could paint a wall mural and put the word of God on it, the whole verse, and commission yourself to paint for other people on their walls. It’s just a thought, and it could bring in a lot more income, and I know the Lord would give you the strength to do that you can do it together with Him.
Bless you🥰🕊✨
