Good morning Alex, never shared what I'm about to say but after like 2 years I came across another of your videos and decided to now. 2 years ago I have my heart to Christ and ask the burning the question of what to do. In a matter of hours one fo your videos came up talking about the scripture of any of you lacks wisdom ask and he who give without finding fault will give it to you exex. I took the literally and the journey I've been in has been the most incredible experience I've ever been in my life, you just have no idea and words don't do it justice. So God used you for in that video and the crazy thing is I wasn't looking Christian videos for a video like yours to have been recommended to me so God chose your video for me out of probably millions haha
I need to stop consuming content so much in my life. It's all these fun, conflicting and vibrant videos that grab my attention and speed things up so I'm not bored anymore. I realize I waste hours doing this, and that time would actually be better spent doing things for my family, reading, praying or even just doing nothing for a change.
@@ChristianPodcastShorts I'm glad you replied. I've been neglecting this recently. Life has been a lot better in general despite some trials and loss; I needed to be reminded of this message tho. I've been living a bit too fast recently. So, thank you man.
Literally cancelled a work appointment today in order to REST and have a SLOW paced day. Sometimes we push our daily lives so full of plans or work that it becomes a norm. Especially since it sometimes is needed to survive. But in Jeremiah 6:16 it says "Stand at the crossroad and look. Ask for ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find a rest for your souls." you can't find rest and live slow if you don't take the time to let God fill you daily.
I am so FED UP with anxiously getting everything done the fastest way possible. I just wanna enjoy time with my father and best friend, GOD OF MY LIFE ❤️🔥🙏🏻✝️
Can somebody comment or like this so I can keep coming back to this. I really believe I needed this word bc my whole life I’ve wanted fast fast fast but for the kingdom of God I want to be slow now. It’s going to take time to change my driving habits, my speech, etc. I want to slow down so please keep liking this or commenting to remind me every now and then
I need to slow down with spending time with God. I’ve been trying to wake up early and have 1 hour of prayer before work each morning, but I’ve been struggling to get out of bed. I’m going to set a smaller goal for myself and build my spiritual muscles. 20 minutes is better than nothing at all 👍🏼
I need to slow down when it comes to my education. As a first-generation college student and someone who compares herself to her peers a little to often, I felt like I am falling behind due to medical issues. I realized that I didn't mind if I needed to step away from the education scene in order to focus on my physical and mental health. I'm trying my best to finish off the Spring semester and look forward for the healing and resources God left for me back at home.
so true! sometimes I feel i need to be constantly doing stuff but the joy in being able to just rest on God's green pastures is something I need to remind myself to keep doing. Be still and know He is God
I think in reading the word,worship and wanting to win more souls for Jesus 😢. I've gotta slow down to digest every bit of it and get the needed Nutrients.🤧❤️
Yesterday I had a nudge to slow down and relax. I Try to do 100 things in a day to keep my parents happy, and to try and keep God proud of me. I don't want to be lazy! but then I feel exhausted this was perfect for today. Chill relax and trust one day at a time.
One day, I decided to participate in a Christian event far from my hometown as aid. I planned to get there as fast as possible and use as many shortcuts as possible. However, it was a rainy day and it took me longer to get there than I anticipated. I tried to keep God in mind, but I still relied way too much on the GPS apps on my phone. When I got closer, my phone's battery died and I couldn't rely on my phone amymore, so I finally decided to trust God's directions. Soon after, I made it and the rest of the day went fine. I really like to think of the events of that day's morning as God's will. It was him letting me know that hurrying really isn't the way. It seems that I've truly been learning lately. All I have to say is that God is amazing.
what i really like about your ministries is the fact that you're truly set apart from the other christian content creators. to me it appears that you're doing things with the intention of actually serving people. to actually let them GET what God means in the bible. with most christian influencers they set us up with fear, condemnation or they flat out shame you. their ''encouragement'' is making you scared. and that is a big problem. i also love how you said in one of your video's that you distanced yourself from that influencer life and rededecated your faith in the Lord
I need to slow down through everything but recently just slowing down wile I read my bible. I feel like I’ve been reading it more as a task instead of a time to spend with God.
to slow down means to take a look at your life and assess what is really necessary. I think God is telling me to slow down in my personal life because when i rush things that what causes anxiety and overthinking! Thank you! I need to slow down!!
No wonder life felt somewhat more painful, it's the idea of things doing fast! A brother in Christ also asked me who would win a race: a turtle or rabbit! I thought it was the rabbit, but the truth is that the rabbit distracts itself easily, while the turtle has focus, tunnel vision! Even if it is slow, the individual knows how to better move!
I think I need to slow down and stop worrying about things coming and just slow down and focus on Jesus. Just taking a slow walk with him is better and the other stuff will come anyway but mainly just slowing down everywhere and walking with Jesus
God bless you man, thank you so much. I need to rest and slow down in everything I do. With school, life, relationships, everything. Truly finding Jesus and his peace that surpasses all understanding is what we all need. God bless you and everyone else. May you all find God and his peace truly today, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!! ✝️
Yes I’m really working on slowing down and being present. My daughter will be off to college in August so right now it’s a lot on her and me but I know when she goes across country to college my life will definitely be slower. Working for the Boys and Girls Club as teen specialist I’m constantly on the go. However on my down time and days off it’s going to be nice to be more present with the Lord. I feel like I’m STEALING time right now to be present with the Lord, then I’m rushing off to the next thing. I’ve definitely been praying over this. Amen, Amen 🤍🙏🏾🧘🏽♀️
This video has reached me and fortified my faith. I am going to remember that a slower pace is better than moving through life so rapidly. Thank you sir, God bless you.
Honestly l have been living my life on a rocket speed and l haven’t gotten anything fruitful from it .God is actually teaching me to slow down l cancelled so big project coz he told me to slow down and here you are talking about the same thing thank you so much for the massage . Now l am even more confident that God is working it out now ..
I really I’m enjoying your content and I Believe that God put your channel in the right time. I’m currently in a place where I don’t know what to do…but I know that God is there guide me where He want me to be. Currently in a “Break” with my gf of almost 7 years of relationship. I think that we decided to put a break, because of where we were on our relationship with God. However, I always wonder about the “slow time / life”, and at the end it will be God decision by the time my gf and I talk again. Sorry if you guys don’t understand (English is not my first language). But…May God blessed you all, and remember take your time and trust God, He always going to be there
This was the exact same topic in my devotion today with the exact same question. God is speaking i ask for His grace to listen and put it into work. Pray for me.
To all my brother and sister this message is spot on in many of our lives. Especially me I actually crying because of this because I am living such a fast paced life trying to set my kids up Support my family And I’m just feeling broken… not enough is coming in and my eyes are blood shot and just exhausted
Today I had a few things I wanted to get done & was trying to figure out the most efficient way. In my head, I knew what would be more efficient but my spirit felt much better in the less efficient, slower route, where I could take my time & find some enjoyment in the things. I went with my head and went the efficient route & found that I really did not enjoy much of that time at all. Learning that efficiency is not always the best option. I think the slow way would’ve been more peaceful
You and your family inspire me so much to slow down and put my priorities in the right place which is in Jesus and loved ones. I love the slow living content! 🙌🥰
Alex. I listen to the podcast everyday. You guys are dope, Im so happy God has put people like you to advance His Kingdom. Big hug brotha keep doing this 🙌. All glory to God Almighty 🙏🙏🫡
I’ve started a new career in real estate, while still working my full time job to keep income flow until I start closing on homes. It has felt like a constant hustle between the two. Trying to rush a sale so I can leave my corporate job sooner has done nothing else but stress me even more, but I really do need to slow it down and stay focused on God, I’ll find the right people that need my help on his perfect timing. Similar to fitness, our best results come from slowing down the reps and living in the moment of constant tension. For some reason we think faster work brings faster results, but often times it’s the results that we don’t want. True success comes from the opposite of human nature, and that’s having patience and a mindset to live in the moment. The things you learn and people you meet along the way are more important than where you’re trying to be.
I’ve come to embrace slowness after spending 22 years of my life in constant angst looking ahead. Suddenly, I can see much clearer. The storm in my head has settled and I can see what brings me richness and true satisfaction. I can begin to hear the voice of god.
Thank you for this, and especially thanks to God for leading me to this. I was the only nurse at a men’s rescue mission, 132 of them. I absolutely loved the ministry and them, but it became overwhelming. Because it was just myself and a tech, managing meds, doing assessments, admissions, medical reviews, etc. I was constantly multitasking and became overwhelmed. I asked for needed support for 5 months, it was denied. I had to walk away from a job I loved. Everything became a rush with constant stimulation. I kept saying this is not how God designed me to live. I’m taking a couple of weeks off and praying for His Spirit to guide me where He wants me. I’m glad He led me to your channel.
30 years walked away- until my addiction dropped me on my knees and ruined earthly Jesus was there - he forgave sins no man could. 23 months and grew 10 times closer to my savior Jesus Christ- then the years before I walked away- why I love the one day at time in AA it slows you down
This is wonderful and just what I need. It’s a hard habit to break. Living by the clock, feeling good with how much you get done…. “Never be in a hurry. Do everything quietly with a calm spirit.” St Francis I don’t think Jesus ever hurried. ✝️❤️
Thanks for this video Alex. I'm an 18 year old studying in college considering going into ministry, and I really need to start taking things in my life slower, and I honestly think that means I need to cut out instagram, cut out video games, and at least heavily tone down UA-cam watching if its not videos like this. I am going to try and start spending more time with friends and family, more time outdoors and enjoying God's beautiful creation, and especially more time in my relationship with Christ, and building up my knowledge of Him. Thanks.
Thank you Alex. I need to slow down on finding my future wife, and almost "hunting" to try and find her and focusing on that instead of the Lord. Also investing so much time at work and surrounding myself with life's constant busyness. Thank you for this video, its time to take it slow. God bless you!
Dude I needed this so much , I felt the Holy spirt lift those burdens of anxiety and rushing thinking i have to get everything done quick . Man God is good !
I realized that I need to slow down on everything what I'm doing in my life after this video. I'm a 1st year engineering student and what am I thinking is how will I graduate instead of thinking about my good memories and journies while being at it. I also need to slow down understanding the gospel of lord Jesus Christ so I can grasp carefully what he truly meant to each and every bible verses. I also need to slow down to my decisions about my personal life and to what should I do. I just now realized that being hasty gains you nothing but incomplete realizations. I have so much gratitude in this video because I have now another addition to my wisdom that I can share on my colleagues.
Really enjoy your channel and the raw authenticity of it. Thank you for sharing all the experience and keeping the channel for all of us real. All the best to you :)
Idk about specific things, but generally, I need to slow down. I like things fast, quick and easy. So, to learn that it's rather incongruent with God has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. But I'm trying to be patient, but waiting's the hardest part
I need to slow down in school despite the deadlines and slow down in my spiritual life, I get so overwhelmed trying to seek and obey God's will for my life.
Homely I would say I need to slow down in my relationship with God and really get to know him because I feel like I’ve been moving to fast in my relationship with him honestly
I work from home, internet went down last evening and electricity went this morning. I cannot start work even though electricity is back. Internet is down in the entire community 😂. We make so many plans and God reminds us... don't get carried away. We're on His clock 🙂🙏🏼
Slowing down is something that’s hard for me to do but I’ve noticed it. Things that are hard to slow down: Taking time to sit with the Lord and not do anything else. Meditating on a verse or two for long periods of time. Waiting to hear from Jesus. Last but not least, considering the work of sanctification done in me already. I grew up in this microwave generation that wants what I want now. I want to be made perfect now, to be happy now. Reminds me of the two children who were contrary to one another, Passion and Patience, in the book The Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan.
I need to slow down at letting my body heal from a big health problem which led me to Jesus Christ but from which He is taking me out to lead a quiet life.
Man i just have to slow down in my relationship with my girlfriend. I feel as if i need to be hitting the next relationship milstone everyother week but rn im just here waiting for her and being unsurprisingly impatient. But nonetheless i genuinely need to slow down for myself as well too much nothingness and space away from ppl makes me want to always be rushing to the next thing. But i do Pray God gives me strength amid that because i feel as if im going insane trying to regulate myself.
I need to definitely slow down my mornings because I try to get all these things down before a specific time and I get really frustrated when I don't and it not helpful, also I need to stop overthinking and intaking so much fast passed content online and to just enjoy the simplicity of my day to. I really do pray I come to that point because I'm in need of rest.
This is what I was thinking about in regards to how I read scripture. I like to engage in deep reads when I read the Word, but at one point I felt as though I needed to forget about deep reading and just read through the Bible. This was me feeling as though I needed to rush through the Bible instead of taking grasp the knowledge in Gods Word. Now I do deep reads with a mixture of general reading. I do the deep read to understand the verses on a deeper level, and then I’ll do a general read where I kinda just read through a couple chapters not focusing on the deep context but trying to gain a general idea of what is being said.
Thank you for this good word from God, sometimes my anxiety gets so strong I just want to rush and drive through the fast lane, but I soon realize that it doesn't change anything. This brings me peace, and suppresses my fear, because I know that slow is the pace of the kingdom.
I desire to slow down in my faith and spiritual development. Slow and faithful has a compounding impact. I know this from experience, yet from where I am now, “spiritual shortcuts” are tempting. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
This Alex came At the perfect time. I have been convicted to high heaven over this… I spend probably 80 hours a week on ministry and the Lord used this verse about Martha a month ago on Sunday and today. Praise the Lord.
I've been sick and off work all week, I know it was God telling me to slow down. I'm always on the go working, studying, taking care of my son and everything in between. I never stop to just BREATHE. As awful as I've felt this week, I'm grateful for the reminder. It's really changed my perspective and helped me realign my priorities.
Everything about this video is so calming, this is the most relaxed I've been all day, I believe this message will truly be helpful in my life moving forward, thank you Alex, and thank you Lord for speaking through Alex😊 Amen🙏🏾.
Great video! I can maby slow down in my connections with my friends and maby also in my prayer life. So I'm thankful you post every time new video's to support us and learn us some valuable lessons for in the future. May God by with you and your family Alex!
I need to slow down with the amount of things I try to get done in a day. And I think just throughout my day, my whole day, I need to slow down. I do everything fast so I can get the most done, make the most people happy, or some other reason. Praise the Lord for this message! He has made it easy for me to be slow but I have fought it. Not anymore!
i def need to slow down with God, i run a tight schedule and im always working and i find myself rushing my prayer time and reading time. I def need to slow down in my time alone with God
slowing down means sitting with our spouse, Jesus, listening and speaking with him.

Good for u
how has it been going ?
@@ChristianPodcastShorts I'm glad you replied. I've been neglecting this recently. Life has been a lot better in general despite some trials and loss; I needed to be reminded of this message tho. I've been living a bit too fast recently. So, thank you man.
How's it been going? You still keeping up with slowing down?
Literally cancelled a work appointment today in order to REST and have a SLOW paced day. Sometimes we push our daily lives so full of plans or work that it becomes a norm. Especially since it sometimes is needed to survive. But in Jeremiah 6:16 it says "Stand at the crossroad and look. Ask for ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find a rest for your souls."
you can't find rest and live slow if you don't take the time to let God fill you daily.
😅i was actually watching the video at ×2 speed....then i realized 😂im what he is talking about
😭😭😭
That's hilarious. I do that too.
🤣🤣😅
me tooo
😂😂😂
I am so FED UP with anxiously getting everything done the fastest way possible. I just wanna enjoy time with my father and best friend, GOD OF MY LIFE ❤️🔥🙏🏻✝️
i RESPECT so much how you dont use the clickbait titles like "The devil doesnt want you to hear this."
Like dude?!! They’re everywhere and it’s so annoying 😭
Can somebody comment or like this so I can keep coming back to this. I really believe I needed this word bc my whole life I’ve wanted fast fast fast but for the kingdom of God I want to be slow now.

He has a plan for you, put him first and he will direct your path. I pray for healing over you in Jesus Christ name amen!
A slow down spirituality is how we don't settle for a lukewarm faith. We actually have time to open our souls and talk honestly to God.
so true! sometimes I feel i need to be constantly doing stuff but the joy in being able to just rest on God's green pastures is something I need to remind myself to keep doing. Be still and know He is God
I think in reading the word,worship and wanting to win more souls for Jesus 😢. I've gotta slow down to digest every bit of it and get the needed Nutrients.🤧❤️

Have you ever thought Alex, that you may have the gift of encouragement?

well said!
Yes I’m really working on slowing down and being present. My daughter will be off to college in August so right now it’s a lot on her and me but I know when she goes across country to college my life will definitely be slower.

I can definitely relate to wanting to be present.
This video has reached me and fortified my faith. I am going to remember that a slower pace is better than moving through life so rapidly. Thank you sir, God bless you.
Facts God has shown me that slow is the way you make lesser mistakes because you get a better understanding that way
Honestly l have been living my life on a rocket speed and l haven’t gotten anything fruitful from it .God is actually teaching me to slow down l cancelled so big project coz he told me to slow down and here you are talking about the same thing thank you so much for the massage .

This was a VERY good episode! I can tell Alex was IN HIS WORD!

Bro this hit the mark w/me where I am. Appreciate you sharing God’s Light with the world, photosynthesyzing the mustard seeds
People need to learn the Bible before they teach the word.
“In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love”- St. Therese
You and your family inspire me so much to slow down and put my priorities in the right place which is in Jesus and loved ones. I love the slow living content! 🙌🥰
Reminded me of the word Selah in the psalms means slow down, meditate on what what just said, forever. Very good message here
Praise the lord
Praying the rosary helps me to slow down and stay focused on Jesus. Thank you.
Alex. I listen to the podcast everyday. You guys are dope, Im so happy God has put people like you to advance His Kingdom. Big hug brotha keep doing this 🙌. All glory to God Almighty 🙏🙏🫡
this is the message i needed !! thank you so much alex, God is working in you ❤
I’ve started a new career in real estate, while still working my full time job to keep income flow until I start closing on homes. It has felt like a constant hustle between the two.

I don’t think Jesus ever hurried. ✝️❤️
Thanks for this video Alex. I'm an 18 year old studying in college considering going into ministry, and I really need to start taking things in my life slower, and I honestly think that means I need to cut out instagram, cut out video games, and at least heavily tone down UA-cam watching if its not videos like this.

Slow is the pace of the Kingdom. There is no shortcut. If you take a short cut you will cut yourself short. Word!
Thank you Alex. I need to slow down on finding my future wife, and almost "hunting" to try and find her and focusing on that instead of the Lord. Also investing so much time at work and surrounding myself with life's constant busyness. Thank you for this video, its time to take it slow. God bless you!
Powerful testimony. Thanks for sharing! I couldn't agree more. A great read is Kosuke Koyama's 'Three Mile An Hour God'. :)
Dude I needed this so much , I felt the Holy spirt lift those burdens of anxiety and rushing thinking i have to get everything done quick . Man God is good !
I realized that I need to slow down on everything what I'm doing in my life after this video. I'm a 1st year engineering student and what am I thinking is how will I graduate instead of thinking about my good memories and journies while being at it. I also need to slow down understanding the gospel of lord Jesus Christ so I can grasp carefully what he truly meant to each and every bible verses. I also need to slow down to my decisions about my personal life and to what should I do. I just now realized that being hasty gains you nothing but incomplete realizations. I have so much gratitude in this video because I have now another addition to my wisdom that I can share on my colleagues.
I need to slow down in recovery. From heartbreak specifically
slowing down takes a lot of courage and trust in God! ❤🔥
Really enjoy your channel and the raw authenticity of it. Thank you for sharing all the experience and keeping the channel for all of us real. All the best to you :)
"Slow is the pace of the kingdom, Slow is not the pace of a human" Wow Alex just woke up and decided to drop bombs
Idk about specific things, but generally, I need to slow down. I like things fast, quick and easy. So, to learn that it's rather incongruent with God has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. But I'm trying to be patient, but waiting's the hardest part
I need to slow down in school despite the deadlines and slow down in my spiritual life, I get so overwhelmed trying to seek and obey God's will for my life.
Homely I would say I need to slow down in my relationship with God and really get to know him because I feel like I’ve been moving to fast in my relationship with him honestly
this reminds me of the book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer!
I work from home, internet went down last evening and electricity went this morning. I cannot start work even though electricity is back. Internet is down in the entire community 😂. We make so many plans and God reminds us... don't get carried away. We're on His clock 🙂🙏🏼
Slowing down is something that’s hard for me to do but I’ve noticed it. Things that are hard to slow down: Taking time to sit with the Lord and not do anything else. Meditating on a verse or two for long periods of time. Waiting to hear from Jesus. Last but not least, considering the work of sanctification done in me already. I grew up in this microwave generation that wants what I want now. I want to be made perfect now, to be happy now. Reminds me of the two children who were contrary to one another, Passion and Patience, in the book The Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan.
I need to slow down at letting my body heal from a big health problem which led me to Jesus Christ but from which He is taking me out to lead a quiet life.
Man i just have to slow down in my relationship with my girlfriend. I feel as if i need to be hitting the next relationship milstone everyother week but rn im just here waiting for her and being unsurprisingly impatient. But nonetheless i genuinely need to slow down for myself as well too much nothingness and space away from ppl makes me want to always be rushing to the next thing. But i do Pray God gives me strength amid that because i feel as if im going insane trying to regulate myself.
Amazing. Thank you for this word. God bless
I need to definitely slow down my mornings because I try to get all these things down before a specific time and I get really frustrated when I don't and it not helpful, also I need to stop overthinking and intaking so much fast passed content online and to just enjoy the simplicity of my day to. I really do pray I come to that point because I'm in need of rest.
This is what I was thinking about in regards to how I read scripture. I like to engage in deep reads when I read the Word, but at one point I felt as though I needed to forget about deep reading and just read through the Bible. This was me feeling as though I needed to rush through the Bible instead of taking grasp the knowledge in Gods Word. Now I do deep reads with a mixture of general reading. I do the deep read to understand the verses on a deeper level, and then I’ll do a general read where I kinda just read through a couple chapters not focusing on the deep context but trying to gain a general idea of what is being said.
Jesus Christ is king
I love simple life with jesus hmm but am hurry for God to answer my needs
I need to slow down my thoughts and not compare myself to other people who aren't in my position.
Such a good video, as the body of Christ we need to understand the power of slowness 🙏
Please continue making the “slow content”. God Bless
Timely right encouragement, thanks.
Jesus was never in a hurry, but he also never took his time.
Mary and Martha in the book of Luke, right?
I really enjoyed watching this on 2x
One of your best messages I think. Amen.
I need to slow down all around tbh. Jesus please help me!
Thank you, praise be to God
Amen brother, I needed to hear this thank you ❤
I need to slow down in my work and in my learning 😊
Perfect timing, God is good!
Thank you for this good word from God, sometimes my anxiety gets so strong I just want to rush and drive through the fast lane, but I soon realize that it doesn't change anything. This brings me peace, and suppresses my fear, because I know that slow is the pace of the kingdom.
I love this but where I get this shirt??? 🤔
Isn’t Islam the greatest religion?
Thank you for this! I love this reminder and appreciate God's work in you.
Love you Alex!! Thanks for all your encouraging videos and preaching the Kingdom :)
I desire to slow down in my faith and spiritual development. Slow and faithful has a compounding impact. I know this from experience, yet from where I am now, “spiritual shortcuts” are tempting. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
This Alex came
At the perfect time. I have been convicted to high heaven over this… I spend probably 80 hours a week on ministry and the Lord used this verse about Martha a month ago on Sunday and today. Praise the Lord.
I've been sick and off work all week, I know it was God telling me to slow down. I'm always on the go working, studying, taking care of my son and everything in between. I never stop to just BREATHE. As awful as I've felt this week, I'm grateful for the reminder. It's really changed my perspective and helped me realign my priorities.
Everything about this video is so calming, this is the most relaxed I've been all day, I believe this message will truly be helpful in my life moving forward, thank you Alex, and thank you Lord for speaking through Alex😊
Amen🙏🏾.
Great video! I can maby slow down in my connections with my friends and maby also in my prayer life. So I'm thankful you post every time new video's to support us and learn us some valuable lessons for in the future. May God by with you and your family Alex!
God bless you! That was a beautiful massage. I pray God will help us all to live a slow life according to His will 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
When he said, " But we as humans don't like slowing down ". My mind was like 🤯💥💥
Thanks Alex. This message found one that needed it today. God Bless.
I need to slow down with the amount of things I try to get done in a day. And I think just throughout my day, my whole day, I need to slow down. I do everything fast so I can get the most done, make the most people happy, or some other reason. Praise the Lord for this message! He has made it easy for me to be slow but I have fought it. Not anymore!
I appreciate you brother
this is sooooo good ! praise God 🙏
i def need to slow down with God, i run a tight schedule and im always working and i find myself rushing my prayer time and reading time. I def need to slow down in my time alone with God
I watch this on 2x speed…
