"Time doesn't heal wounds, Jesus does." Absolutely love this. Milena thank you for sharing this video and being an image bearer of Christ. Praying for you and your family through this storm!
For some reason God always speaks *directly* to me through you. It’s very specific and always bewilders me. I haven’t watched this yet as I’m laying my baby down for a nap but when I got the notification, it almost gave me chills. Just 10 minutes ago I was praying about the storm I’m in. Thank you and love you ❤
Same here!! I love love love what you’re doing for the Kingdom, it truly impacts us, real people, keep being such a force for Him, we appreciate your platform and everything He shared with us through you!!!
Psalm 126:5 „Those who sow with tears will reap the songs of joy”. That verse got me through depression, suicidal thoughts and overall my childhood abuse. Praise the Lord! 🤍
Lamentation 3:32 has been my verse since we had our most recent loss. Stillbirth at 38wk 4 days. Still encourages me every single day. “Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.” He WILL show compassion!!!
The worship song Even If by MercyMe has gotten me through my darkest and deepest storms ❤ watching your faith through this season of life has been so beautiful and inspiring.
While healing from my first birth and struggling with the fact that I ended up with an emergency c-section- the trauma that came with that, the extreme pain in healing, and the worries around what it might mean for the future of our family, as we want to have a larger family if that is God’s will- I clung to “Honey in the Rock” as my worship song along with “fear is a liar” (I was so scared about the potential health risks with future pregnancies and not being able to have a natural birth ever). Now I hear that song and just think of how beautiful the lessons are that God has taught me through the healing and processing of the storm!❤️
Seeing you have such peace during this time is inspiring. What you experienced was awful, but it’s amazing to see you still hoping that God uses this for his glory and to bless other people. God bless you guys as you’ve surely been a blessing to others.
Wow. This is so relatable. We lost our baby in February while I was in the hospital. We had such supernatural peace. It was overwhelming. Looking back, God’s hand was on us the whole time. The way things happened was a blessing because we got to pray and worship over our baby for hours and be surrounded by family. We had joy thinking about how beautiful our baby was and knowing she only knew love. I had no doubt that she was with Jesus. This was the hardest thing I had even been through. My heart was BROKEN. But, I will never forget the way God showered us with His Holy Spirit. It changed me forever.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. You and your husband are very inspiring on how I want to show my son how to handle storms. I’m a single mother, and I tend to go through storms alone. But you, Milena, have helped me realize that I am not alone. I have family, friends, my son, MYSELF, and God to rely on. And to say that I have God in my life is something I thought I would never say…bc I have stepped away from the church (the catholic church) when I was 17. I’m 29 now, and watching your videos over the past few yrs has helped me grow spiritually and form a new, better relationship with God. So thank you to both of you. I wish you your family many years of happiness and joy. ❤
Your faith is so beautiful and inspiring. Your faith has been so inspiring to me since having babies and getting back into my faith. Thank you for sharing all that you do ❤ your words are so powerful
praying for you in this very moment 🤎 may the Lord be your peace & comfort. I pray for supernatural strength and endurance to draw nearer to Him in this time. Believing you will come out stronger on the other side of this 🙏🏼
‘Not my will but Yours be done’ was the prayer we held onto during our miscarriage last April. Felt so much peace being able to non-stop pray that during all of the uncertainty❤️
This is exactly what I needed to watch today. My little sister just passed away monday morning and all I can do is seek comfort and peace from the Lord! I trust you completely Lord! Please pray for my family and I 🙏
In your last video I was able to experience at least 0.1% of the peace and Joy that you were able to experience through something like that and wanna say how much you radiate it through the screen! Your videos are always so comforting but something teaching me from that video that it wad so calm i could almost feel it. Thats goals! Really thankful for your videos especially the last two!
Girl!!! I love being on this journey with you!! You are so inspirational and such a blessing! I love how real and relatable you are. Ministering to your kids is the best gift to give them. Keep going!!!!!! You are supported by this mama and I love seeing God in you!
When I was listening to my audio Bible last summer, I had been playing Psalm 139 trying to remind myself of the Lord’s care for me (I was in a depressive episode and couldn’t think clearly, I had been hiding from the Lord until I ‘got better’, but I wasn’t improving), I let it play through the next chapters and Psalm 143 stood out for the first time, particularly the first few verses and “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you.” Psalms 143:8-9. The last line reminded me of how a child curls into her father’s arms, and the Lord used it to comfort me so much, the morning seemed so far away but it came ❤❤ Times can be so hard but the Lord is so near and truly understands all we’re going through, even if it’s hard for us to see at the time. I’m still learning to allow him into the darkest places, I’ve been praying that he’ll help me to put my trust in him more. Thank you for sharing the testimony of his loving hand over all of you right now. Praying for you and your family, sending hugs ❤️❤️ xx
I read James 1 earlier today and when I clicked on this video I just knew you'd bring up that chapter - the Lord always shows me after I read His word an example of the fruits that can come from trusting in it. I'll be praying for you and your family through this storm and thank you for all you do for His glory ❤️
@@MilenaCiciotti so does seeing you grow and hearing your story. Truly love you and am grateful for the example you set for so many, myself most definitely included
@@MilenaCiciotti I’m also going thru a storm and had read this verse two nights ago, the day before the storm hit. And now you posted this video on the same verse the Lord had me stuck on meditating in James 1.
The verse that gets me through the storm and has never failed me: “The Lord is close to the broken hearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed” Psalm 34:18 Amen, our God is a rescuer 🙏
I just want to say, I barely found your channel milena and instantly I noticed this about you, your RADIATING This Glow and spirit even through the screen that makes you feel her presence and Reflects God so much it’s inspiring! I went through a very similar situation recently too and it was hard to see Gods part in all of it but in the middle of the storm I was like Gods plan not mine, Gods children not mind, God has a reason for everything & he will never leave our side! God bless you milena!
Psalm 143:8 and I the Bible verse that says “when you go through deep waters, I will be with you” I forgot the verse but God ALWAYS quickens me with that verse and I sing it, He has done that so much, He is so good though all the trials and tribulations!!!
God speaks directly to me through you! (as someone else also said) It is the most amazing thing. Ive been struggling with postpartum anxiety/ depression, and i prayed a couple hours ago for God to help me with my storm.. the video i watched before this was Brandon Lake.. he said "God speaks to me through his people". I was like.. oh ya, maybe thats what i need to remember instead of asking for a sign.. he never gives me signs lol and yet i always ask for them. He always speaks to me through his people. MILENA IS HIS PEOPLE! 100% and every single one of her (or your, if you happen to read this) videos speaks to me when i need that the most. God is sooooooo SO SO GOOD!!!!!
One song that has helped me through the storm is the blessing by elevation worship 🙏 especially the lyric 'in your weeping and rejoicing He is for you'
Milena, I don’t want to take away from the content of the video - but you are glowing. You look absolutely stunning, and it’s clear how comfortable you feel with your new look in a positive way. It feels like you became more in-tune with yourself through your new style you’ve discussed (a new chapter) and it reflects outwardly how you feel inwardly. I don’t just see what you’re wearing, or how you look physically, but I see a healthiness that shines through and surpasses those things somehow :)
I love how you said I don’t know what else to do than to worship and that’s what I been doing in the storm too because is not in my control but I know who could help me through it ❤
A verse that got me through a storm I went through last year is 1 Thess. 5:16-18 which says “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstance, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ♥️☺️ thank you so much for sharing this truth!! Jesus is our healer!!
Today was crazy for me, a lot of noise in my head. I woke up and I saw your video in the feed, I decided to watch it but couldn’t finished it. When I was at the office a lot of stuff happened, so much stress in my head. And I listened to the Holy Spirit saying: finished the video. And I did. Then started raining, the sky was falling down haha. I looked up and I felt God was saying, DON’T RUN FROM THE STORM, and I did. I stood still and the rain drenched me completely. Definitely spoke to my heart and my thoughts. Thank you Mi❤️
Currently going through a storm of loneliness. My husband and I are in ministry at our church and we’re somewhat newer and we’ve opened our home to married couples and it seems as though they have all connected outside of us not being included in that group. All we’ve prayed for is for a godly community like what you have for the past 10 years and it’s just been so taxing seeing others get it or have it and questioning “when is it my turn lord?”. You are so lucky to have that milena. Your friends caring about you and vise versa. I know God will bring that into our lives some day🥰
I can’t believe how peaceful you sound🥺💗 I do not practice my faith the same way you do. But I still really like to heard your experience and believes. Thank you for always sharing!
What a gut check. I appreciate your reminders to abide ESPECIALLY in the storm. I loved how mentioned it’s okay to feel hard things. It becomes a problem when we allow those things to change our character. Thanks for sharing this, and mostly thanks for using your influence for the kingdom.
"Allow me to not want to come out of this storm" WOW such a beautiful perspective that I'm going to have to incorporate in my prayers now 🥺 I've been going through such a major storm that has left me so weary physically, mentally, and emotionally, and all I think about is when will the day come that I'll stop suffering? But suffering produces endurance and allows the fruit of the Spirit within us to blossom so others can have a full tree to pluck from! This trial has greatly tested my patience and ability to be long-suffering and many have been plucking my fruit of patience and the Lord is teaching me to endure for His grace is sufficient and although my flesh and heart may fail, He is the strength of my heart & portion forever! Thank you for this video, Milena 🥺❤️ I've been praying over you and your family 🙏🏻
This!!! I had soooooo much peace when we found out our son had a disability. I was 20 weeks pregnant and everyone around us was worried about us and sad and me and my husband just felt so much peace and gratitude. We had no worries because we knew Gods got his hands all over him. And if you knew me 5 years ago I would’ve never said that. I used to be THE BIGGEST worry wart.
Song: Ne'eman La'ad (Forever Faithful) by Solu. Thank you for posting this video!! The first minute of it you mentioned it being "another trial". It reminded me of what I had told my friend yesterday that we all go through trials and tribulations. I'm currently awaiting the news any day now as to whether I have cancer or not. My friend is uncertain about God currently and said that I didn't deserve this situation and I told her that I was just going through "another trial". The day the doctor told me about this information, I turned to this song. One line stood out - "In times of trouble and distress I will look to you." I did exactly that. With tears I cried out to God to show me what He wanted. Though, I don't know what's going to happen, the next morning I had a dream that God is with me. However, up until Saturday, I fell quickly anxious and depressed. On Saturday I quickly realised that I had spiralled out of control, mentally. I realised that God is in control and is the only one that gives and takes away life. I gave over not only these aspects but every aspect of my life. I now know that whatever happens God is with me and I feel Him closer than ever and thst He is forever faithful. I pray the same that in your storm you will cry out and look to Hod, and call on Him for He is forever faithful. Amen. I feel it isn't only a song but a prayer for all those in storms right now. I will update you when the results are received. Yes, I still lament here and there as I feel we deserve the right to, but I have given it to God and that's all I feel I can do. I feel so much more peace and freedom in Christ than I have in a long time and it fills me with joy. Thank you for reading.
I didn't suffer a miscarriage thankfully. But ive been in a season of grieving for 3 years. Lost a grandchild to miscarriage and then 2 grandchildren to estrangement a few months later. The pain is unbearable. I would never want to go through it again and i still have my mini seasons on birthdays, Christmas and and anniversary of time without them. But God has taught me so very much during this time. Im old and a slow learner so im sure i have many more lessons to come. Thank u for being so open and vulnerable with us. And reminding us that no matter what God is good. My faith was hanging on by a string for a long time i admit. But i kept reading my Bible and over time God started to heal my heart. U and ur husband are making sure that ur loss is not in vain. Wow yall r so special. Great job sweet girl
My husband and I are currently going through a separation. I am silently fighting for our marriage and am in constant prayer and worship with the Lord. Each time something new comes to me and reopens the wound, I have this peace that the Lord has placed over my heart and mind. When the enemy is still attempting to get in my head and heart again, my favorite verse to say is “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. Proverbs 3:5-6 and it redirects my thinking and helps me fall into the arms of the Lord reminding me that he gots this ❤️ My worship song that I always lean on is “The Blessing” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes
I’ve clung onto the verse 1 John 4:18 “Perfect love casts out fear” during a really hard and dark time I experienced in high school, my pastor at the time quoted this scripture to me and it was like a wave of peace I had and something I am reminded with in times of fear and doubt. Praying for your family Milena. ❤️
I'm so thankful for this video. I had a misscarriage when I was 6 week pregnant with my second, in March. I cried a lot watching this video but it also gave me peace. God works so great through you. ❤
Thank you for sharing your solitude in Christ & the beauty of relying on Him! Suffering either wraps you in destruction or clothes you in gratitude + joy! The glory of the Lord is shining through & this season is a blessing to know Him deeper! Praying for y’all!! Trust in You - Antoine Bradford + Let the Ground Rest - Chris Renzema are great songs for afflicted hearts🤍
This has been helping me during life’s current struggles. God’s interaction with Hagar when she ran away after the way- it was after Hagar become pregnant with Ishmael she started to despise Sarah and Sarah treated her harshly. Hagar was found by an Angel of the Lord, knowing her name asked where she was going and where she came from. He also told her she was pregnant with a son and that his name would be Ishmael which means God hears or God heard her affliction. He told her all of promises of her sons future afterwards she called God the “God who sees”. Knowing and being reminded that God is the God who hears us and see us makes me feel less lonely. I have been in a big season of being broken and have reached my limit many times. I have stopped fighting the process as it has been when the Lord renovates me in some or many ways. After the Lord has helped me get back up and put me back on my feet I have seen the most growth within myself making me more and more into who He intended me be as a wife, daughter, friend and especially a better mother. I’m no where near where I could be but I’m a long way from the girl I was 6 years ago prior to marriage and becoming a mother.
Nehemiah 8:10 where it ends with the Joy of the Lord is your strength 🙏🏼💜 thru Him alone I was able to experience true joy and peace with my miscarriage in 2014, ectopic pregnancy in 2016 then having my miracle baby in 2019 at 35 wks and her being in the NICU then experiencing another ectopic pregnancy in 2020. The Joy of the Lord has truly been my strength to keep going 🙏🏼💜 and being thankful for my daughter Bethany Joy 💜
I’m so sorry for your loss Milena. It’s sad, almost as if you knew, because I remember in a video during your last pregnancy, you said that you have already mourned your fourth baby because the 3rd pregnancy was so hard and you felt like that was it for you guys. I’m sorry that you’re actually mourning your 4th baby.. but glory to God for sustaining you and giving you peace through this storm. God has also given me peace during this storm, isn’t he so good? To supply all that we need right when we need it.. sending love your way ❤
This is so encouraging to me! I went through a miscarriage in December with baby #3 and we are now currently pregnant again with our precious rainbow baby! But even though that was THE hardest thing we have ever walked though, we still had so much peace and joy through it all. God is so gracious! The one song that I clung to was “Yes I will” by Vertical Worship. I would listen to it literally all day long because I refused to give into my flesh and be bitter and angry and would sing it even when it was hard and I was choking back sobs! Yes there are still days when I am sad and miss my baby Micah, but we have so much hope in Jesus! Praying for you and your family and for God to bless you with your rainbow in His timing! 💛
Thank you for this. I needed this. Me and my husband have been married 6 years and decided this year we are open to starting our family. We unintentionally got pregnant a couple weeks ago and I had a miscarriage on June 8th. This is all so new to me and I’m not sure how to navigate it but my biggest prayer rn is that I don’t let fear take over for the next time I get pregnant. And of course that I get pregnant again. But I do feel peace knowing where our baby is and we will meet them one day. Love to y’all form Oklahoma ❤
You can truly see God moving through you Milena. He surly knows how to help us in our storms. I was really touched when you said that we just want the storm to go away… that’s definitely how I feel at the moment. I’ve been dealing with this trial for so long I just feel it should be over and the scripture you quoted has definitely been going through my mind a lot lately. Thank you for being sensitive especially for what your going through. ❤😢
I have been following you and your journey for many years and you have always been such an inspiration in my life. It is truly inspiring to listen to you speak and I always walk away from your videos like these feeing like I have a new outlook on life. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing what you have gone through it has helped me so much with things I am going through in my own life.
Amazing job Monma! Your children will remember & recall. Our first two began to request that we homeschool them because our home and church didn't match their school life. They were 9 & 11 years old. Praise God we committed our mind & heart and began in 2010. Fast forward now, we have 6 children and a grandson! Homeschooling is better, richer, purposeful and for God's glory. Praying for Y'all. 😘
Even before watching this video I am so encouraged. Since you changed the content of your UA-cam channel to more like this, your audience has changed too. It's beautiful to witness and all the testimonies that are shared here in the comments....! Praise the Lord for what He is doing in our hearts. And thank you so much for listening and obeying the Lord. You are a true blessing for so many, me included!!
I'm a Christian UA-camr too and you genuinely inspired me to start from all your older faith videos... and so to see your faith based videos to be back in full force just brings me so much joy! Love this side of Milena as well as home making side!
“In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19 KJV This is my verse It’s been my go to for a lot of situations
You said “I don’t know how people go through a storm without Jesus” I have gone through storms without Jesus and then now as a believer I have gone through storms with him. The best way I can answer your question is… when you go through a storm without Jesus, it changes you for the worse when you go through a storm with him it changes for the better. Without Jesus traumas and hardships, harden your heart. You tend to look at the world and people in a negative way because something bad has happened to you and you look for someone or something to “blame” you sin often because you turn to your flesh to process and cope with the pain that you’re in handle the pain you’re in. With Jesus, it is the total opposite you will be changed, but it will be for the better, and instead of looking at the world and the people in a negative way you will look for the good and the positivity. You see the beauty in this life that he has blessed us with. When you open your heart and allow him into your struggles, he will be with you every single step of the way I have never felt closer to the Lord than I did when I went through my darkest of days with him by my side.
Thank you for this. This shows your maturity as a Christian we also went through this and we also had so much peace and joy for our other friends. And it was weird for people looking from the outside that we had so much peace in the storm. Because His timing is perfect and of cpurse their is moments of sadness. Its so much better to go through it with Jesus.
My Great Healer Verses: Psalm 34:18 Psalm 55:22 Psalm 147:3 Matthew 11:28-30 1 Peter 5:6-7 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 For me, these are the verses I cling to for dear life while I was going through the greatest heartache I’d been through. I pray the Word of God blesses others through these scriptures🤍
Your faith is so inspiring ❤ I cant remember the last video of yours that I've watched without crying (In the best way) You are a blessing Milena!! Thank you for allowing God to use you the way He has 😊
without going into crazy detail, last year I experienced a huge shift in my life and it rocked my world in ways I didn’t even fully understand at the time. I had truly reach a low, hopeless state and I remember crying out to God saying “I can’t live like this. I don’t want to be alive and feel like this” and didn’t see how I could make it to the other side. Through all of that, I found Jesus and genuinely don’t know if I’d still be here today without Him. I think something I hadn’t really realized until going through this was that Jesus brings joy & peace, but it doesn’t mean life will be easy. Things will still be hard, you will still experience trials and hardships, but there’s a certain peace that fills you once you realize that Jesus is in control and that everything that happens is according to His will and not mine. We know where our hope is, and that’s why we have peace. A verse (or verses) I really clung to during this time was Philippians 4:6-8: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell in these things.”
In a season where I know I am being pruned, I am also pruning the content I watch. I love your sit-down videos, Milena. Even in our sadness, He is our JOY! When I have been going thru it two songs that really helped me worship Soul's Anthem by Tori Kelly and Peacy by Naomi Rayne.
Hey Milena, This message really spoke to me, I'm currently in a storm or a hard season where everything is confusing and everything else just feels like it's falling in apart but I know and one thing for certain that even in the midst of this storm God is with me, he is in the boat with me and with Jesus in the boat, though the storm is raging I know I will have peace and in his timing he will calm the storm. It reminds me of the story when the disciples and Jesus was in the boat and the storm came out of nowhere and they were all afraid but Jesus was sleeping, but he got up and rebuked the storm but what really stood out to me from this story is when Jesus asked his disciples "why are you afraid, do you still have no faith?" with Jesus with us in the boat we can smile at any storm. God bless you Milena and I pray that God will continue help you even more so in this time, Blessings.
“In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.”
Psalms 34:6
“He will not have a second to come into this family”!!! AMEN!!! 🙌🏻💛
When she said that, I felt the empowerment of God shining through her!
"Time doesn't heal wounds, Jesus does." Absolutely love this. Milena thank you for sharing this video and being an image bearer of Christ. Praying for you and your family through this storm!
For some reason God always speaks *directly* to me through you. It’s very specific and always bewilders me. I haven’t watched this yet as I’m laying my baby down for a nap but when I got the notification, it almost gave me chills. Just 10 minutes ago I was praying about the storm I’m in. Thank you and love you ❤
wow praise the Lord 🥹 praying for allll the strength, endurance & peace through this storm 🤎
Me too! Even with the podcast topics especially when it comes to internal battle to obey my husband..
Same here!! I love love love what you’re doing for the Kingdom, it truly impacts us, real people, keep being such a force for Him, we appreciate your platform and everything He shared with us through you!!!
Create in me a a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Psalm 126:5 „Those who sow with tears will reap the songs of joy”. That verse got me through depression, suicidal thoughts and overall my childhood abuse. Praise the Lord! 🤍
Lamentation 3:32 has been my verse since we had our most recent loss. Stillbirth at 38wk 4 days. Still encourages me every single day.
“Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.”
He WILL show compassion!!!
So sorry for your loss
❤❤❤
so thankful for your example. praise God for His faithfulness!
Jesus is the peace in every situation. I have no idea how I would be able to go through life without Him
2 Corinthians 5:17 is by far th bible verse that has gotten me through hard times as a young adult.
When you said “Time does not heal all wounds, Jesus does!” I felt praise in my spirit hallelujah speak his word and truth😭🙌🏾👏🏾
The worship song Even If by MercyMe has gotten me through my darkest and deepest storms ❤ watching your faith through this season of life has been so beautiful and inspiring.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength Philippians 4:13
Please pray for my husband, he’s been in a storm for 20 years and is feeling tired and hopeless
“ time doesn’t heal wounds, Jesus does “
Amennnnn Sistaaa 🙌🏽
God bless you and your family spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially in Jesus name amen!
Def a worship song when my dad passed! This was on repeat dailyyyyy “peace” by bethel music
While healing from my first birth and struggling with the fact that I ended up with an emergency c-section- the trauma that came with that, the extreme pain in healing, and the worries around what it might mean for the future of our family, as we want to have a larger family if that is God’s will- I clung to “Honey in the Rock” as my worship song along with “fear is a liar” (I was so scared about the potential health risks with future pregnancies and not being able to have a natural birth ever). Now I hear that song and just think of how beautiful the lessons are that God has taught me through the healing and processing of the storm!❤️
My verse is "He will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him" ❤
One of my most favorite verses. Isaiah 26:3 💗✝️🥰
Seeing you have such peace during this time is inspiring. What you experienced was awful, but it’s amazing to see you still hoping that God uses this for his glory and to bless other people. God bless you guys as you’ve surely been a blessing to others.
🤍
Wow. This is so relatable. We lost our baby in February while I was in the hospital. We had such supernatural peace. It was overwhelming. Looking back, God’s hand was on us the whole time. The way things happened was a blessing because we got to pray and worship over our baby for hours and be surrounded by family.

But, I will never forget the way God showered us with His Holy Spirit. It changed me forever.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. You and your husband are very inspiring on how I want to show my son how to handle storms. I’m a single mother, and I tend to go through storms alone. But you, Milena, have helped me realize that I am not alone. I have family, friends, my son, MYSELF, and God to rely on. And to say that I have God in my life is something I thought I would never say…bc I have stepped away from the church (the catholic church) when I was 17. I’m 29 now, and watching your videos over the past few yrs has helped me grow spiritually and form a new, better relationship with God. So thank you to both of you. I wish you your family many years of happiness and joy. ❤
Amen. Your growth is so sweet to see! He is definitely preparing his daughters and getting our hearts right!!! Praise be!!!!
Nehemiah 9:27-28 is a new verse I have clung to during my storms. Praise Jesus for His love and compassion ❤
PROFOUND
"Pray for what I want, not against what I don't want."
Praying for peace, unity etc.... much more powerful
Your faith is so beautiful and inspiring. Your faith has been so inspiring to me since having babies and getting back into my faith. Thank you for sharing all that you do ❤ your words are so powerful
I watched this last night but I wanted to come back and comment because these words keep on ringing.
“Time doesn’t heal wounds. Jesus does”.
♥️
U r not just a witness to ur kids. U r a witness to us all. This would have helped me so much before i entered my season
Middle of my storm by the Clark family. Beautiful song for the season and time in the storm.
Recently lost my job and this is helping me so much. Praying for you and your family right now
I’m going through a missed
miscarriage right now at 14 weeks. Your experience, wisdom and love for God is helping me so much!❤
praying for you in this very moment 🤎 may the Lord be your peace & comfort. I pray for supernatural strength and endurance to draw nearer to Him in this time. Believing you will come out stronger on the other side of this 🙏🏼
Praying for you mama!!!
‘Not my will but Yours be done’ was the prayer we held onto during our miscarriage last April. Felt so much peace being able to non-stop pray that during all of the uncertainty❤️
Thank you for this video. Jesus really is who heals & I needed to hear that! 🫶🏼🥹
Psalm 131. Helped me through my daughters stillbirth. ❤ thank you for sharing Milena
This is exactly what I needed to watch today. My little sister just passed away monday morning and all I can do is seek comfort and peace from the Lord! I trust you completely Lord! Please pray for my family and I 🙏
In your last video I was able to experience at least 0.1% of the peace and Joy that you were able to experience through something like that and wanna say how much you radiate it through the screen! Your videos are always so comforting but something teaching me from that video that it wad so calm i could almost feel it. Thats goals! Really thankful for your videos especially the last two!
Girl!!! I love being on this journey with you!! You are so inspirational and such a blessing! I love how real and relatable you are. Ministering to your kids is the best gift to give them. Keep going!!!!!! You are supported by this mama and I love seeing God in you!
Isaiah 40:31 got me through the passing of my grandfather.
When I was listening to my audio Bible last summer, I had been playing Psalm 139 trying to remind myself of the Lord’s care for me (I was in a depressive episode and couldn’t think clearly, I had been hiding from the Lord until I ‘got better’, but I wasn’t improving), I let it play through the next chapters and Psalm 143 stood out for the first time, particularly the first few verses and “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you.”
Psalms 143:8-9. The last line reminded me of how a child curls into her father’s arms, and the Lord used it to comfort me so much, the morning seemed so far away but it came ❤❤ Times can be so hard but the Lord is so near and truly understands all we’re going through, even if it’s hard for us to see at the time. I’m still learning to allow him into the darkest places, I’ve been praying that he’ll help me to put my trust in him more. Thank you for sharing the testimony of his loving hand over all of you right now. Praying for you and your family, sending hugs ❤️❤️ xx
Time does not heal wounds. Jesus does! 💯
I read James 1 earlier today and when I clicked on this video I just knew you'd bring up that chapter - the Lord always shows me after I read His word an example of the fruits that can come from trusting in it. I'll be praying for you and your family through this storm and thank you for all you do for His glory ❤️
wow that just gave me chilllss!!
@@MilenaCiciotti so does seeing you grow and hearing your story. Truly love you and am grateful for the example you set for so many, myself most definitely included
@@MilenaCiciotti I’m also going thru a storm and had read this verse two nights ago, the day before the storm hit. And now you posted this video on the same verse the Lord had me stuck on meditating in James 1.
The verse that gets me through the storm and has never failed me: “The Lord is close to the broken hearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed” Psalm 34:18 Amen, our God is a rescuer 🙏
I just want to say, I barely found your channel milena and instantly I noticed this about you, your RADIATING This Glow and spirit even through the screen that makes you feel her presence and Reflects God so much it’s inspiring! I went through a very similar situation recently too and it was hard to see Gods part in all of it but in the middle of the storm I was like Gods plan not mine, Gods children not mind, God has a reason for everything & he will never leave our side! God bless you milena!
The verse that always helps me through everything is John 13:7
Psalm 61, 'when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I' ❤
Psalm 143:8 and I the Bible verse that says “when you go through deep waters, I will be with you” I forgot the verse but God ALWAYS quickens me with that verse and I sing it, He has done that so much, He is so good though all the trials and tribulations!!!
Love that you said I didn’t feel out of control because you were never in control 🫶🏼 praying for you and your family during this time. 💛
God speaks directly to me through you! (as someone else also said) It is the most amazing thing. Ive been struggling with postpartum anxiety/ depression, and i prayed a couple hours ago for God to help me with my storm.. the video i watched before this was Brandon Lake.. he said "God speaks to me through his people". I was like.. oh ya, maybe thats what i need to remember instead of asking for a sign.. he never gives me signs lol and yet i always ask for them. He always speaks to me through his people. MILENA IS HIS PEOPLE! 100% and every single one of her (or your, if you happen to read this) videos speaks to me when i need that the most. God is sooooooo SO SO GOOD!!!!!
One song that has helped me through the storm is the blessing by elevation worship 🙏 especially the lyric 'in your weeping and rejoicing He is for you'
Milena, I don’t want to take away from the content of the video - but you are glowing. You look absolutely stunning, and it’s clear how comfortable you feel with your new look in a positive way. It feels like you became more in-tune with yourself through your new style you’ve discussed (a new chapter) and it reflects outwardly how you feel inwardly. I don’t just see what you’re wearing, or how you look physically, but I see a healthiness that shines through and surpasses those things somehow :)
So proud of you for being so vulnerable & real + sharing videos like these!
I love how you said I don’t know what else to do than to worship and that’s what I been doing in the storm too because is not in my control but I know who could help me through it ❤
Proverbs 3 : 5 - 6 ... holding on to that for life.
Going back to a dark hair color suits you sooo well🥺 it enhances your beautiful light eyes!!
I love when you share faith related videos. So inspirational💛
Matthew 17:20 still getting me through the biggest trial of my life♡
Sometimes it feels like He just speaks to me through you. Im thankful for your obedience 🫶🏼
Praying for you and your family ❤
You are such a light ❤ the title gave me chills.. exactly what I needed today. Praying for you and your family during this time.
The lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
A verse that got me through a storm I went through last year is 1 Thess. 5:16-18 which says “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstance, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ♥️☺️ thank you so much for sharing this truth!! Jesus is our healer!!
Today was crazy for me, a lot of noise in my head. I woke up and I saw your video in the feed, I decided to watch it but couldn’t finished it. When I was at the office a lot of stuff happened, so much stress in my head. And I listened to the Holy Spirit saying: finished the video. And I did. Then started raining, the sky was falling down haha. I looked up and I felt God was saying, DON’T RUN FROM THE STORM, and I did. I stood still and the rain drenched me completely. Definitely spoke to my heart and my thoughts. Thank you Mi❤️
Currently going through a storm of loneliness. My husband and I are in ministry at our church and we’re somewhat newer and we’ve opened our home to married couples and it seems as though they have all connected outside of us not being included in that group. All we’ve prayed for is for a godly community like what you have for the past 10 years and it’s just been so taxing seeing others get it or have it and questioning “when is it my turn lord?”. You are so lucky to have that milena. Your friends caring about you and vise versa. I know God will bring that into our lives some day🥰
I can’t believe how peaceful you sound🥺💗 I do not practice my faith the same way you do. But I still really like to heard your experience and believes. Thank you for always sharing!
I have been throught just that! I have said just that too. Lord when will it not hurt!!!😢❤😊
What a gut check. I appreciate your reminders to abide ESPECIALLY in the storm. I loved how mentioned it’s okay to feel hard things. It becomes a problem when we allow those things to change our character. Thanks for sharing this, and mostly thanks for using your influence for the kingdom.
"Allow me to not want to come out of this storm" WOW such a beautiful perspective that I'm going to have to incorporate in my prayers now 🥺 I've been going through such a major storm that has left me so weary physically, mentally, and emotionally, and all I think about is when will the day come that I'll stop suffering? But suffering produces endurance and allows the fruit of the Spirit within us to blossom so others can have a full tree to pluck from! This trial has greatly tested my patience and ability to be long-suffering and many have been plucking my fruit of patience and the Lord is teaching me to endure for His grace is sufficient and although my flesh and heart may fail, He is the strength of my heart & portion forever! Thank you for this video, Milena 🥺❤️ I've been praying over you and your family 🙏🏻
This!!! I had soooooo much peace when we found out our son had a disability. I was 20 weeks pregnant and everyone around us was worried about us and sad and me and my husband just felt so much peace and gratitude. We had no worries because we knew Gods got his hands all over him. And if you knew me 5 years ago I would’ve never said that. I used to be THE BIGGEST worry wart.
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.”🙏🏼🙌🏼💙
Song: Ne'eman La'ad (Forever Faithful) by Solu. Thank you for posting this video!! The first minute of it you mentioned it being "another trial". It reminded me of what I had told my friend yesterday that we all go through trials and tribulations. I'm currently awaiting the news any day now as to whether I have cancer or not. My friend is uncertain about God currently and said that I didn't deserve this situation and I told her that I was just going through "another trial".
The day the doctor told me about this information, I turned to this song. One line stood out - "In times of trouble and distress I will look to you." I did exactly that. With tears I cried out to God to show me what He wanted. Though, I don't know what's going to happen, the next morning I had a dream that God is with me. However, up until Saturday, I fell quickly anxious and depressed. On Saturday I quickly realised that I had spiralled out of control, mentally. I realised that God is in control and is the only one that gives and takes away life. I gave over not only these aspects but every aspect of my life. I now know that whatever happens God is with me and I feel Him closer than ever and thst He is forever faithful. I pray the same that in your storm you will cry out and look to Hod, and call on Him for He is forever faithful. Amen. I feel it isn't only a song but a prayer for all those in storms right now.
I will update you when the results are received. Yes, I still lament here and there as I feel we deserve the right to, but I have given it to God and that's all I feel I can do. I feel so much more peace and freedom in Christ than I have in a long time and it fills me with joy. Thank you for reading.
For whoever is reading, I received the results and they came back as normal. Praise God! God is faithful! :)
I didn't suffer a miscarriage thankfully. But ive been in a season of grieving for 3 years. Lost a grandchild to miscarriage and then 2 grandchildren to estrangement a few months later. The pain is unbearable. I would never want to go through it again and i still have my mini seasons on birthdays, Christmas and and anniversary of time without them. But God has taught me so very much during this time. Im old and a slow learner so im sure i have many more lessons to come. Thank u for being so open and vulnerable with us. And reminding us that no matter what God is good. My faith was hanging on by a string for a long time i admit. But i kept reading my Bible and over time God started to heal my heart. U and ur husband are making sure that ur loss is not in vain. Wow yall r so special. Great job sweet girl
My husband and I are currently going through a separation. I am silently fighting for our marriage and am in constant prayer and worship with the Lord. Each time something new comes to me and reopens the wound, I have this peace that the Lord has placed over my heart and mind. When the enemy is still attempting to get in my head and heart again, my favorite verse to say is “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. Proverbs 3:5-6 and it redirects my thinking and helps me fall into the arms of the Lord reminding me that he gots this ❤️
My worship song that I always lean on is “The Blessing” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes
I’ve clung onto the verse 1 John 4:18 “Perfect love casts out fear” during a really hard and dark time I experienced in high school, my pastor at the time quoted this scripture to me and it was like a wave of peace I had and something I am reminded with in times of fear and doubt. Praying for your family Milena. ❤️
I'm so thankful for this video. I had a misscarriage when I was 6 week pregnant with my second, in March. I cried a lot watching this video but it also gave me peace. God works so great through you. ❤
Thank you for sharing your solitude in Christ & the beauty of relying on Him! Suffering either wraps you in destruction or clothes you in gratitude + joy! The glory of the Lord is shining through & this season is a blessing to know Him deeper! Praying for y’all!! Trust in You - Antoine Bradford + Let the Ground Rest - Chris Renzema are great songs for afflicted hearts🤍
This was so so so good! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 God just ministered my heart so deeply! God bless you Milena.
This has been helping me during life’s current struggles. God’s interaction with Hagar when she ran away after the way- it was after Hagar become pregnant with Ishmael she started to despise Sarah and Sarah treated her harshly.
Hagar was found by an Angel of the Lord, knowing her name asked where she was going and where she came from. He also told her she was pregnant with a son and that his name would be Ishmael which means God hears or God heard her affliction. He told her all of promises of her sons future afterwards she called God the “God who sees”.
Knowing and being reminded that God is the God who hears us and see us makes me feel less lonely.
I have been in a big season of being broken and have reached my limit many times. I have stopped fighting the process as it has been when the Lord renovates me in some or many ways. After the Lord has helped me get back up and put me back on my feet I have seen the most growth within myself making me more and more into who He intended me be as a wife, daughter, friend and especially a better mother. I’m no where near where I could be but I’m a long way from the girl I was 6 years ago prior to marriage and becoming a mother.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18💛
Philippians 4:6-7 are my verses❤️
And "time does not heal wounds Jesus does" is so good and so true🥰
TIME DOESNT HEAL WOUNDS, JESUS DOES 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Soo good Mi!!!!
I watched this vlog during a difficult time for my family. Thank you for reminding me what not to forget. Thank you Jesus❤
Nehemiah 8:10 where it ends with the Joy of the Lord is your strength 🙏🏼💜 thru Him alone I was able to experience true joy and peace with my miscarriage in 2014, ectopic pregnancy in 2016 then having my miracle baby in 2019 at 35 wks and her being in the NICU then experiencing another ectopic pregnancy in 2020. The Joy of the Lord has truly been my strength to keep going 🙏🏼💜 and being thankful for my daughter Bethany Joy 💜
I’m so sorry for your loss Milena. It’s sad, almost as if you knew, because I remember in a video during your last pregnancy, you said that you have already mourned your fourth baby because the 3rd pregnancy was so hard and you felt like that was it for you guys. I’m sorry that you’re actually mourning your 4th baby.. but glory to God for sustaining you and giving you peace through this storm. God has also given me peace during this storm, isn’t he so good? To supply all that we need right when we need it.. sending love your way ❤
This is so encouraging to me! I went through a miscarriage in December with baby #3 and we are now currently pregnant again with our precious rainbow baby! But even though that was THE hardest thing we have ever walked though, we still had so much peace and joy through it all. God is so gracious! The one song that I clung to was “Yes I will” by Vertical Worship. I would listen to it literally all day long because I refused to give into my flesh and be bitter and angry and would sing it even when it was hard and I was choking back sobs! Yes there are still days when I am sad and miss my baby Micah, but we have so much hope in Jesus! Praying for you and your family and for God to bless you with your rainbow in His timing! 💛
Thank you for this. I needed this. Me and my husband have been married 6 years and decided this year we are open to starting our family. We unintentionally got pregnant a couple weeks ago and I had a miscarriage on June 8th. This is all so new to me and I’m not sure how to navigate it but my biggest prayer rn is that I don’t let fear take over for the next time I get pregnant. And of course that I get pregnant again. But I do feel peace knowing where our baby is and we will meet them one day. Love to y’all form Oklahoma ❤
You can truly see God moving through you Milena. He surly knows how to help us in our storms. I was really touched when you said that we just want the storm to go away… that’s definitely how I feel at the moment. I’ve been dealing with this trial for so long I just feel it should be over and the scripture you quoted has definitely been going through my mind a lot lately. Thank you for being sensitive especially for what your going through. ❤😢
I have been following you and your journey for many years and you have always been such an inspiration in my life. It is truly inspiring to listen to you speak and I always walk away from your videos like these feeing like I have a new outlook on life. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing what you have gone through it has helped me so much with things I am going through in my own life.
Amazing job Monma! Your children will remember & recall. Our first two began to request that we homeschool them because our home and church didn't match their school life. They were 9 & 11 years old. Praise God we committed our mind & heart and began in 2010. Fast forward now, we have 6 children and a grandson! Homeschooling is better, richer, purposeful and for God's glory. Praying for Y'all. 😘
So glad ya’ll have had supernatural peace!
I've clinged onto the lyrics "I will be content, in every circumstance, you are Jireh" that song came into my life when I needed it most.❤
Even before watching this video I am so encouraged. Since you changed the content of your UA-cam channel to more like this, your audience has changed too. It's beautiful to witness and all the testimonies that are shared here in the comments....! Praise the Lord for what He is doing in our hearts. And thank you so much for listening and obeying the Lord. You are a true blessing for so many, me included!!
I'm a Christian UA-camr too and you genuinely inspired me to start from all your older faith videos... and so to see your faith based videos to be back in full force just brings me so much joy! Love this side of Milena as well as home making side!
isaiah 40:31 has been my anchor and fear verse in this storm!!
“In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.”
Psalm 94:19 KJV
This is my verse
It’s been my go to for a lot of situations
Thank you for sharing! Psalm 13 has blessed me in this recent season.
You said “I don’t know how people go through a storm without Jesus”
I have gone through storms without Jesus and then now as a believer I have gone through storms with him. The best way I can answer your question is… when you go through a storm without Jesus, it changes you for the worse when you go through a storm with him it changes for the better.
Without Jesus traumas and hardships, harden your heart. You tend to look at the world and people in a negative way because something bad has happened to you and you look for someone or something to “blame” you sin often because you turn to your flesh to process and cope with the pain that you’re in handle the pain you’re in. With Jesus, it is the total opposite you will be changed, but it will be for the better, and instead of looking at the world and the people in a negative way you will look for the good and the positivity. You see the beauty in this life that he has blessed us with. When you open your heart and allow him into your struggles, he will be with you every single step of the way I have never felt closer to the Lord than I did when I went through my darkest of days with him by my side.
Thank you for this. This shows your maturity as a Christian we also went through this and we also had so much peace and joy for our other friends. And it was weird for people looking from the outside that we had so much peace in the storm. Because His timing is perfect and of cpurse their is moments of sadness. Its so much better to go through it with Jesus.
My Great Healer Verses:
Psalm 34:18
Psalm 55:22
Psalm 147:3
Matthew 11:28-30
1 Peter 5:6-7
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
For me, these are the verses I cling to for dear life while I was going through the greatest heartache I’d been through. I pray the Word of God blesses others through these scriptures🤍
Your faith is so inspiring ❤ I cant remember the last video of yours that I've watched without crying (In the best way) You are a blessing Milena!! Thank you for allowing God to use you the way He has 😊
wow 🥹 thank you, thank you for being here 🤎
without going into crazy detail, last year I experienced a huge shift in my life and it rocked my world in ways I didn’t even fully understand at the time. I had truly reach a low, hopeless state and I remember crying out to God saying “I can’t live like this. I don’t want to be alive and feel like this” and didn’t see how I could make it to the other side. Through all of that, I found Jesus and genuinely don’t know if I’d still be here today without Him. I think something I hadn’t really realized until going through this was that Jesus brings joy & peace, but it doesn’t mean life will be easy. Things will still be hard, you will still experience trials and hardships, but there’s a certain peace that fills you once you realize that Jesus is in control and that everything that happens is according to His will and not mine. We know where our hope is, and that’s why we have peace.
A verse (or verses) I really clung to during this time was Philippians 4:6-8:
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell in these things.”
In a season where I know I am being pruned, I am also pruning the content I watch. I love your sit-down videos, Milena. Even in our sadness, He is our JOY!
When I have been going thru it two songs that really helped me worship Soul's Anthem by Tori Kelly and Peacy by Naomi Rayne.
Praying for you and your family!!
Hey Milena, This message really spoke to me, I'm currently in a storm or a hard season where everything is confusing and everything else just feels like it's falling in apart but I know and one thing for certain that even in the midst of this storm God is with me, he is in the boat with me and with Jesus in the boat, though the storm is raging I know I will have peace and in his timing he will calm the storm. It reminds me of the story when the disciples and Jesus was in the boat and the storm came out of nowhere and they were all afraid but Jesus was sleeping, but he got up and rebuked the storm but what really stood out to me from this story is when Jesus asked his disciples "why are you afraid, do you still have no faith?" with Jesus with us in the boat we can smile at any storm. God bless you Milena and I pray that God will continue help you even more so in this time, Blessings.
