i feel like the more we get triggered the more we're easily manipulated. What triggers you is trying to teach you a lesson. Thank you so much for this video!
No matter how bad my situation gets Lord Jesus I will seek you everyday. Even when I feel like giving up I will keep faith. As a single mother. I’m struggling to make ends meet. My husband passed years ago. I have no one to turn to but you Lord JESUS. Both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. Lord I’m afraid. Every month I struggle trying to provide for my children struggling to pay rent and to buy groceries. Lord help me and hear my prayers. With you God all things are possible. 💕
You are strong but are stronger with God on your side, indeed! I will pray that your situation gets better and that God grant you hope and peace!❤ 🙏🏾 I hope you have a great day!
My triggers: -Small talk that I believe others are talking about me but they aren't. -peoplr complaining at work -friends stating a comment thar I didn't ask their opinion for -etc Pray for me to overcome these and others. Thanks and Blessings 😊
Hi Alex, thank you so much for this video. For some reason being at the mall triggers me, I think a part of me is still self-conscious and worries about how people perceive me. The thought of being seen frustrates me💔. I'm also struggling with impatience so I get very frustrated when I'm held up or when things don't go my way and what's sad it that I always take it out on my family, like when my mood changes it affects everyone else and spoils everyone's day. Please pray for me.🙏🏾
This week i was easily getting irritated at work ( I work with Kids) and really dreaded going because of how annoyed i was. Unfortunately i lost my composure. I always pray before I go and when at work I try to remember that God has much compassion with me so I should be compassionate torwards the Kids. Sometimes it's hard but God is still good!
Girl I feeeeel that. I work in fast food and it’s been the manager and I working overnight. I got frustrated and I was frustrated with how frustrated I was. Like dude was chillin but I was mad
Great message, Alex. I find myself getting triggered a lot like you mentioned. When I'm in the middle of a task, or just trying to "retire" and the wife or kids need me. I've beaten myself up over it a lot because all it does is leave me feeling selfish. I'm gonna keep working on not getting triggered in the first place. Thank you brother.
We are the body of Christ, i love you brother take care praying for you Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
i noticed that i don’t want to be triggered/pulled away or distracted. such as at school, where i try to get all of my work done and become studious ignoring those around me. or at home, doing my daily tasks and getting triggered when someone calls me. so this video convicted me, and i need to realize that i will be pulled away and distracted; but that’s where i need to see how Christ chose to come down to help us, not angrily but compassionately. so that i too can be un-triggered when pulled away.
When I was younger, I would easily get irritated. I thought I got control of that until I had children. But I love what you said about intentionally setting aside time which I began to do every morning to have quiet time with God. I love that instead of saying I'm going to have a good day, be realistic that triggers will come and ask God to help to address them like Jesus. Definitely going to do that
Alex, I had this revelation of this connection between the death of John and feeding the 5000 this week as I was mourning a friend of mine. This is so comforting as this shows a new perspective as well. How sweet the Holy Spirit unites us. Praise the Lord. Love you and your sweet family brother!
I love this. Because it’s true definitely for me, when I am triggered I start to complain and I let it get to me. Lately, I have been praying more to help me with this situation. Thank you for your insight!❤
Thanks so much for this! I'm a teacher (2nd grade) and the triggers each day .oh my, I feel like a failure as I'd like to be this wise, always patient, firm yet fun, balanced educator and I don't measure up in so many ways..
Hey, nobody is perfect. When i say this next part, maybe im speaking with no logic and all compassion but i know your feeling so dont think you are a failure because of this. Logically, It is natural to be aggravated by a room full of little kids. It's good to work on this step my step but just because you're not amazing at it doesn't mean you're a failure. Think of it as an unfinished painting and God as our painter. As you learn to be patient with yourself.
@PandoraGill06 I agree with you up until the very end. I always remember that it's easy for me to be patient with myself because I love myself. It's when I remember how patient God has been with me, is with men and shall be with me that I can express the same patience with others.
I think alot of times our temper becomes like a well used candle. We light it whenever we get angry at someone and put it out once we calm down. Without forgiveness in the mix, though, the wick doesn't return to its original size. It just gets shorter and shorter.(It takes less and less to get aggravated)
Emotionally needy people, even though I understand them. Thankfully, God has been training me for some time and I rarely, if ever, lose my composure when it comes to them.
Thank you Alex for this video, man. I’ve been failing much as a father and husband in this area because I sometimes lean on these false expectations. Getting upset and frustrated about things that aren’t even worth being frustrated about. But even if the situation is a bit inconvenient, reminding myself what Jesus has done for me and that the rest comes later. There are times where I’ll get frustrated because my son didn’t sleep as long as I would’ve liked, because I was trying to continue working on music, or I’m trying to pray and it’s too noisy etc. Saying those things out loud and even typing them is honestly embarrassing because it shows my lack of patience and also selfishness. But I thank the Lord for his mercy and him showing me your video. God bless you and your family, as well as everyone in comment section.
I receive full joy of the lord in Jesus name. I receive no disobedience to my parents anymore, nor fear that I would lose Jesus’ blessings. I know that he has provided for a great purpose. I trust you and love you lord. ❤
I’m like that. All my life til I was about 16 I’ve been abused in many ways and when I became an adult, I decided that I’m gonna stick up for myself home what it actually did was make me full of anxiety and worry, and I’m easily triggered now and it could be a lot of reasons of why that is, but you helped me in so many ways and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.!
Thanks Alex for this. What a great reminder of the hope we have... we have an iniate longing for retirement, naturally because of where we came from originally, but soon it will come, and in the meantime we can trust that God has the situation in control and worked all out for our good.
Thank you. I’m conquering this same issue. I realized it’s a mindset of lack in reference to the resource of time. Yahweh is outside of time. I’m gonna be here forever, so what’s the rush?
What triggers me, is when I'm having my alone time with God or prayer time, and my family just comes and disturbs me...unintentionally. Sometimes I get really angry and want to pop off on them, but God reminds me to have grace with them and remember WWJD? (What Would Jesus Do?)
This is the worst, I understand this so much. Last night like I usually do, I plan my night and how I’ll spend it with the Lord coming from work and as soon as I got home tired as is, everyone demanded something from me and I felt frustration rising in me and had to calm myself. After I had attended to everyone I got to my room and cried and I realised that was a stretching and I was glad I could be helping others even though I wasn’t okay myself.
I’ve definitely said I’m putting myself in box or cave so that I don’t have to deal with others. It’s lonely true but I guess I need more time to find myself without being bothered. I pray God helps me Thank You for this message and God You 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you Alex for this message and moreover, the Bible passage of Matthew 14. I see how the Lord was a man of Sorrow and yet always doing the right thing out of love and compassion. It reminds Jesus' phrase to John the Baptisor " it's proper for us to fulfil all righteosness" or Paul's "in your anger, do not sin". Triggers will come on our way, but it's not an excuse to start to act selfishly or retain the love and acts of love that we have to the people around us who need it. If we act contrary to this it is evil, not a loving act and against God's will perharps.
A bedazzled or Romanticized expectation of life in todays Hollywood culture can make me feel without when I have plenty. It sucks but noticing the trigger helps ✨
My prayer today was for God to guide me so that I won't continue to be someone who is easily angered and that I need to be like Jesus. Thank you for this message ❤
When you said, “all work with my Father” moved deeply within me. His word says He was moved with compassion because Jesus saw we were like sheep without a shepherd. Again, giving us an example of how we should be compassionate and moved by seeing others’ struggle.
Aaaa 🤍 this one hit home I can often get frustrated / annoyed by my own self setting a time or being in a rush for no reason….. so slowing down and just letting His love overflow my mind is what has been helping me 🙏 Blessing Amen fambam!!
*Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..*
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Wow that's nice She makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me.
this is a weird one but I get really triggered when I miss a bus by ~30 seconds. "if only I was a little bit quicker..." and in my most bitter moments I blame God because I know he is in control of these things. My prayer is that I would respond to these situations how Jesus would (although there were no busses back then!). Letting God be in control, of even the small things in my life, can be challenging at times. But by God's grace I will find joy knowing that he is the only one worthy of being in control of all things!!!!!!!
I feel you about the waffle batter filling up the iron brother Alex and I do get a little frustrated when the batter doesn't cover all the iron but in reality even I don't cover everything so yeah but mostly 😅. Amen.
my sisters are usually arguing and fighting and always on demand of asking me to buy something for them but there are times when i want to be in my own room and just take care of my stuff but i can't do anything knowing that every time i got something to do there are my sisters arguing and fighting for something and it just frustrates me every time, i try to control it but they're sometimes getting on my nerves time to time
Living in south Africa you will be triggered from the moment you wake to the moment you go home. People just generally don't like to obey rules in this country from roads to business it's a Harsh environment that's excluding the constant fear of crime. I try praying against this daily but sometimes the pressure is too much. It also makes one extremely frustrated and aggressive I always long for a lifestyle on an island by the beach to have less distractions and more time with God
When someone interrupts me while I am playing a online game where you “can’t” just quit triggers me. The game I play is a battle royal… last man standing wins. It’s really challenging to win, so when my mom (with a bad back)asks me to get the groceries when I’m in the last 10 survivors I’m torn and the selfish side of me often comes out.
As a somewhat neglected parent, I bless you for sharing this! I pray the Lord give you the grace to change your heart in this regard so that you can fulfil the 5th commandment more fully and consistently so that all may go well with you!
I get really stressed when i spend time with people so i picked up a vaping habit and am trying to quit. I'm thinking about getting another vape because i dont know how to handle the stress.. im wondering if i should also delete my instagram account since it also adds to jealousy... please help! Thanks!
Hi! 🤍 I use to struggle with a vaping & weed addiction before, I’m not exaggerating when I say that I couldn’t go a minute without smoking my vape, it was very bad. you’re not alone in this! When I gave my life to Christ and decided to put my Full trust in him, I prayed that he’d break the addictions off of me, and immediately it broke as I prayed that, I rarely felt the temptations to go back, it’s different for everyone but God definitely Can deliver you from it, Pray about it every day and don’t lose your faith in those prayers. :) I would recommend not buying another one, ( + disposing your vapes) and let God be the source to where you go to relieve your stress! 💛 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Matthew 11:28-30 “come to me, all you who weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, let me teach you because I am humble and gentle at heart, for you will find rest for your souls and the burden I give you is light.” & about Jealousy, I’d like to tell you that God has made you perfectly and beautifully in his image, The Lord has your entire life already planned out, including what is for you. What is meant for you, will be for you! The Lord will continue to provide you all You need as you continue to make Jesus your primary concern 💜 We rebuke the spirit of Jealousy in Jesus name, and we declare in the mighty name of Jesus that the spirit of Jealousy Has to flee Now. ✝️ I pray this helps you, and I will be praying for you. ☺️ Please pray for me too, I’m in need of prayers, pray that the spirit of slothfulness leaves off me and my family, that we can prioritize our relationship with Jesus and let go of the things that are hindering our walk with him. Thank you so much, God bless You! 💗💗💞
I deleted the instagram app yesterday. Fasted from it in January for one month. Might do a few months this time. Pray about it! Get vulnerable with God your Heavenly Father and most intimate friend ❤❤
Nothing goes as planned Learn how to react calmly, don't become a selfish, angry hermit crab. Don't isolate. - when our minds are set on a task, we retire. Then we get a call or distraction and were called out of retirement. - learn how to relate your emotions. When Jesus saw the great crowd he didn't get distracted he helped the people and healed them. Don't be afraid to have to get up out of yyour waffle square. Expect triggers and distractions. PRAYERFULLY expect the triggers, ask God for help.
N.T. Wright may have said some positive things, but I would examine his position on justification by faith and you may re-think who you're influenced by.
