Kirby, I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and mood disorder and I've tried to commit suicide three times. You taught me that whenever you're in pain and you feel like nobody cares, God is there for me and he does things for a reason. I understand how you're feeling and you're never alone. we all love you and are here for you
Kirby Minnick, you break my heart. I cannot tell you just how much I appreciate this video and you expressing your feelings. I was never a very strong Christian, I'll admit that. But with my schooling program I read a book called Why Pray? I highly recommend the book for insights, spiritual strength and hope. I know I'm a stronger Christian for it. If I didn't have God, I don't even want to think about who I would be or where I would be. I need God to get through every single day. May God bless you, and hold on girl. All I know is I'm not home yet, this is not where I belong.
Kirby about a year ago I was feeling the way you are right now, being consumed by anxiety, depression and loneliness. But you made a video about joy and how you stay positive and that night I watched that I decided that I was gonna be joyful and whatever satan throws at me I can defeat cause I have Jesus on my side. And knowing that I have had a better life because I look at things in a positive way now. And I can thank YOU for that. And I pray and thank God for you everyday. And I just hope that you can get through this with the positive attitude you have and display. Say strong ily!
kirby you made me cry, but that made me realize what I've been focusing on is temporary and I shouldn't put all my energy towards negative things and people because it's not worth it. thank you posting this. God bless, I am praying for you.
Your faith is so strong. You are so beautiful and you have such a beautiful heart Kirby. The fact that you're not scared to share your heart and your faith with us on social media is amazing. Stay strong. We love you. We're praying for you. Thanks for being such a huge inspiration to all of us. ❤️
I figured I might as well share my own little personal story: I was really upset about the tiniest little thing a few months ago and it seriously was so small but I was just so upset about it on top of everything else going on. I read a chapter in my Bible (usually) every night before I go to bed and I really was not feeling like reading it that night but I did anyway. And I was reading 1 Chronicles. I was literally just reading the genealogies. And all of a sudden I got this overwhelming calm that flooded over me. And it was shocking and amazing. I was reading lists of NAMES. And it was the teeniest thing ever that I was upset about. But God still cared and He sent this incredible peace over me, it was so amazing. On that note, Kirby, I just want you to know that you are SUCH an inspiration to me to stay strong in the Lord, and you are such a role model for me. Thank you God that you survived, because I would probably, no definitely, still be crying if you had died. You are definitely here for a purpose and I'm so glad that you're still here. Because I don't know God's plan, but one purpose you have is to encourage me
Thank you SO much for this video!! I have been struggling with the same things. Every day I come home and just cry because of depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, ext. God has been so good though and has turned this into a blessing. Keep rocking girl we CAN do this!!
Hey Kirby. I've been going through a lot lately too. And you're absolutely right. I did need to hear this. I got in a car wreck this week too and I've also been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety and depression lately with school and friends. My best friend moved away to Georgia and I feel lonely and depressed because of it. And I've just been running farther and farther away from God. But like you said, I should be running to God. I can't remember the last time I genuinely prayed to him. So thank you for sharing. I love you Kirby!
+TayDombrowsky thank you. I'm trying. I'm really trying. The devil is so powerful and I've been feeling like God is never going to get me out of this. But I need to trust him. And lean on him wholeheartedly.
Stay strong I've been in the same situation my best friend moved to Indiana last week and it's been really bad and I kept running from God I felt like he wasn't there but just keep praying and get the support you need. Stay strong
+Allison Peck Girl! The enemy has been defeated! He will never win! He only has power if you allow him to, and YOU have the authority to shut him up! Declare that authority and the victory that Jesus has entitled us to. Jesus won the battle already, so let's stand in the victory he predestined us to walk in, not victims, but victors!!! Praying for you💗
I can relate to this video so much because ever since I moved to Georgia in August I've felt like I've been surrounded by demons of loneliness every single day. It wasn't until October or so when I started acting like a Christian rather than just saying I was, and honestly, I've never felt more like myself. I also now realize that I'm never alone because He is always with me.
Hey Kirby, my mom was recently in a bad car accident as well and our car was totaled too, and she was hit by the biggest trailer I have ever seen.. So I can somewhat understand what you are going through as she has some back issues and now other health issues due to it as well. I'm glad you shared what you are going through.. don't forget to thank God for the reck not being worse than it was! I admire that you proudly share what God is doing in your life as well. I'll pray for you :)
Aw Kirby, I'm praying and praying for you lovely 😭❤️ I hope that you find the spirit of peace soon and I'm so so glad that you found your beginning of your revelation! I love you so much and I'm so glad you keep fighting :,)
This was definitely super encouraging to watch! I'm currently a freshman at Texas Tech, but I actually really wanted to go to DBU. I could have gone, but I felt the Lord calling me here to be a light. It has turned out to be very lonely and I don't have hardly any friends who are believers. I completely understand where you're coming from. This video helped give me hope for not just why I'm here on Earth, but in Lubbock too. If you read these and ever need to talk, please do so. We met at metamorphosis a few summers ago and I attended gateway students in your small group a few times. Kirby, I know that when your time does come, God is going to be saying, "Well done good and faithful servant". He has given you such a large and great platform, and you are doing exactly what we are called to do in Matthew 28:19-20. Hang in there, better things have yet to come. :)
just discovered your channel from your testimony video which made me cry. "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." Colossians 3:2
Thank you so much for making this video, Kirby. I am going through some very similar struggles right now, and I am so encouraged by what you had to say. I am praying for you!! xx
Every time I feel down I just watch this video, because it reminds me of everything that really matters and gives me so much strength. Thank you Kirby, you are truly amazing.
Kirby, it's your raw honesty that makes your videos so powerful. Everyone has struggles. Some people share what their struggles are with others and some don't. You have shared so much of your life on your channel and so much about your ups and downs. You have given voice to so many people who felt they are alone in their daily fight to just make it one more day. God has blessed you with the courage and ability to share in a powerful way. Keep up the great job. Your such an encouragement to so many people including me.
I've had a horrible past couple of weeks. I clicked on this video curious and thank you so so much for posting this. I too have not been reading my bible and I'm reading it now. Thank you so much for posting this and you're in my prayers. I love you Kirby you truly inspire me.
This is by far the best video you've ever made. This is such an amazing testimony and I am so glad you shared this. God is definitely the ONE to put your trust in!
I needed this video so much, i have been dealing with depression and anxiety too, i was hospitalized in December because of it. i love you kirby, thank you.
As a fellow DBU student who has seen you on campus and seen how positive you are and knowing what you're going through, has given me courage. I've experienced the loneliness and often find myself asking God why this why that! But I've never asked myself where my heart is, who does my life belong to? Thank you for this because I needed!! Hope everything goes well and will be praying for you!
I know this is an old video but i just found your channel and have been watching a lot of your videos, love them btw. This one hit me hard.. i've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression the last year and the last few months have been the worse but when i looked back I realized I stopped reading my bible, i stopped praying, i stopped worshipping and thanking God. I have put my focus back to Him. This video was just another way of God speaking to me. Thank you for being bold and sharing your faith on such an open platform.
honey I really appreciate the way you open and share this life/death situations that happened to you, even though I'm not quite a religious person, I love the way you go and get through this bad things. and let you know you are not the only one who goes through these bad stuff. bur you'll find the light and you will be better, just try to always focus on the positive things, even the smallest ones. ♡
I can't explain to you how much I love your videos Kirby. You make comedic and inspirational videos all of the time, and they never cease to make people happy. There are going to be hard times in your life. God knows what he's doing sweetheart. You're not broken. You are going to get through this. Sending love and prayers to you Kirby.
I was in a place of sadness and anxiety and stress for like 2 months up until a few weeks ago. Now, by the grace of God he has made me the most joyful and peaceful I've ever been. I still have a ton of struggles but God is showing me how to have joy and peace during the tough times and how to praise His name even when it hurts. Kirby, you are such a wonderful woman of God and I'm praying for you to find the indescribable joy and peace that God is providing me right now. Thank you for making your videos to spread God's love. You are fantastic and my heart goes out to you!
Thanks for being vulnerable. i can proudly say I've gone and felt those struggles and it's an ugly feeling at the end of the day. but I've never felt more hungry for God. "I touch the sky, when my knees hit the ground"
1 Thessalonians 5:6 says "Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss" and I wish I could meet you one day to greet you as my sister in Christ. I am so encouraged by this and I cried along side you, and I am going through similar battles at this time in my walk with God. I think it is SO beautiful that you are so vulnerable and open with your heart. I admire it so much and I want to be just like that. I love that you share what's on your heart and you cried and were honest about being down. People tend to hide their faults and hide the bad new or hide their brokenness because they want others to see them for who they themselves wish they were but in the church we should be open and honest about the hard times because through honestly we can lift eachother up in love. I love you so much and I pray for you and I am thankful for you sharing your heart and sharing Jesus with the world. It's wonderful, keep at it.
You are such a beautiful person, Kirby. You make us all smile with your videos and your personality, so thank you so much...I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this. Anxiety and Depression are possibly the worst things I've ever gone through, and I can somewhat relate to what you're feeling. We all love you so much, you're going to get through this! Keep fighting .. -Sophie
Kirby I love you! Stay strong!!!❤️❤️my friend tried to commit suicide last week age 12 because of depression. Luckily after me and my friends spammed the group chat with emotional speeches and crying emojis and telling her to stop her mum saw the messages, realised what was going on and stopped her. I knew that it was by the grace of god that her mum saw our messages. The Lord is with you and everyone! Don't run. He is helping not ruining. He will get us through it. It will be ok. Don't let depression take over you❤️God is with you!
Kirby you are so strong. I'm really happy that you made this video not only for yourself but for others who needed to hear this as well. I am going through a horrible time right now and I'm starting to slack on school which is not who I am at all. I'm glad I watched this because it gave me hope and inspiration to just keep going. I love you so much Kirby. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. honestly, I really needed to hear that. We all need him to get us through, we're not alone.. thank you so much for reminding me of that
I'm so sorry about what happened to you Kirby, and what is currently stirring about in your life, and I've been keeping you in my prayers, and I hope and pray that all will go well for you, because you deserve for all to go well. You are so faithful, and this video really broke me down, while lifting me up, by teaching that in times of despair, we can't run from God, these are the times where we need to run even closer to Him. I've recently been in a time of sorrow and distress, and running from God has only made my outlook worse, and it always seems easier not to put the effort in, but once the effort stops, you begin to fall deeper and deeper into sin and Satan's lies . Thank you so much for being so honest, and open and thank you for sharing your faith and spreading the Word and I will remain to keep you in my prayers
Sometimes I wonder why she doesn't have WAY more subscribers. She is the most positive person and the most encouraging. I am also going through a rough time and you alway bring me hope I am Christian and can relate to all of these things. Thank you so much for always being positive for all of your subscribers. Love you❤️⭐️❤️😘⭐️❤️
You are so brave Kirby. Every "real" video you upload inspires me more than the previous. And hearing you talk about this kind of stuff gives me hope, and makes me realise that the stuff I keep telling myself isn't true.
I honestly cannot pray enough for you Kirby! I hope everything gets so much better for you, and I hope that you can find peace with everything that has come for you. If God has brought this upon you, He will help you get through it
You are so strong and I admire your stretch... Being a Christian is important in these kind of situations. I can relate in dealing with both demons of depression and anxiety. God bless and may God heal both of us. 🙏🏼
Aw ily so much Kirby. I got a lot out of this and it's awesome how you project your feelings and faith through RU-vid. You'll definitely be in my prayers and I'm so glad you are okay and nothing further happened in the accident❤️
Kirby, I love you SO much. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable and broken and to relate to us on such a personal level. I know your story has really impacted me in my life and I'm sure there are so many other people who will be impacted by you. You are so loved!! Thank you, Kirby ❤️❤️❤️
Kirby, I'll be praying for you this week and I hope you feel better. Honestly idk how you actually deep down inside feel because I've never had depression, but I'm sorry and I'll be praying for you❤️
Kirby, I just wanted to say I can relate with some of your battles. I too feel lonely, depressed, vulnerable, etc... and I too lost my father at a very young age, given this was addressed in a video before. I'm a 19 year old guy and like my pastor said, "Life is seasonal", their will be seasons of Joy and seasons of sadness, but it's what we do in those seasons that matters. I herd a pastor say this, "It is when the dark and difficult times come that God's Glory and light shines the brightest." Those are the times we should cling on him most for those are the times where his Glory will shine most and you will be able to see it. You cannot be healed if you're not sick, you cannot be forgiven if you have not sinned, you cannot be made hole if you're not broken. In a way, he uses these difficult times to help us not only grow but show us he's with us. God bless you all.
Kirby you're honestly such a good person (from what I can tell from your vids and such anyway) it's hard to see you cry but I'm glad ur alright and it's pretty motivating that through all these tough times you know how to get through it. I'm not really religious but this video is touching
l love you so much kirby. You are so strong. You encourage me to not give up. I hope you realize how much your fans really care about you. I'm so grateful to have someone like you in my life too remind me that everything Ida going too be okay. I love you kirby and thankyou for everything
Hey there, I'm LDS and when you started speaking about all of your demons lately I was impressed to suggest the concept of losing yourself in the service of others, trust me I do understand how you have a lot going on with school and keeping up your spiritual health because that's life for me too rn but I believe that service and charity are there to heal us and others in ways we aren't even aware of. Everything you said resonates with me immensely, thank you! I hope you begin to hear and realize what you need to in order to feel better like God wants you to. :)
kirby❤️❤️❤️ you have a beautiful soul! I have found myself shifting away from God these past couple of months but watching this and hearing you talk about things that I can totally relate really opened my eyes. Seeing you at a vulnerable state and truly sharing your feeling really made me reflect on my life and that I have hope too! I'm not gonna lie I started crying too but of joy and relief that I have a purpose too and that I need to focus on myself first and only then I can improve on my relationships with everyone else. Thank YOU for helping me realize that God is a miracle worker and he too has answered my prayers and that I just need to count my blessings❤️ God bless always Kirby😊
Kirby, making this video is one of the most brave and beautiful things i've ever seen someone do before. There is something so amazing about vulnerability and letting others know that you're weak because God shines so beautifully through that. God bless❤❤
““Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34 Keep going Kirby with God all things are possible and I pray you get the strength and encouragement you need. Thankyou for this video ❤️❤️
Wow... This video hit me very hard. I've been straying from my relationship with God, and listening to you talk just shattered a major wall. Thank you Kirby for being so open and honest about your spirituality on your channel. You are a huge inspiration to me!
I was literally looking on my computer screen and staring at this video debating whether i should watch it or not and i am soon damn glad i did. I have been going though absolutely so much pain and anxeity and i honestly feel so so so alone. usually I'm seen as a girl who's so happy and full of life but now its just become this mask that i put on every morning and you are completely right when you say i need to get my heart into heck and i need to let myself completley put my complete and total trust in God and let his love consume me. I need to embrace him and everyone placed before me who are here for the right reasons who love me and i need to stop pushing them away! thank you so much kirby for posting this video... it really touched my heart.
Preach!🙏🏼 💯I have been going through a similar situation for the past year, when my grandfather past away. You had me crying through this video and thank you for connecting me back to my savior, thank you for showing me that I'm not alone, God has lead me to you and you are in my prayers. You are amazing!❤️ "God put you in this world because he knew you were strong enough to live it"
Dear Kirby, You have changed my life. I watch your videos whenever I can and I always share the same pain when you have an emotional video. Sometimes I cry with you. Even if your having the toughest time, always know that you're not fighting your battles alone. We will always be here for you. I love you. ~Abby
Thank you so much for sharing this, Kirby. I'm currently overwhelmed with God's awesome power because I've been going through the exact same thing (minus the car wreck- I am so glad you are safe!) and have felt so alone through this process. I am a Christian, but I've been so focused and so locked in on the most pointless, earthly things and that's made life so much harder. I've been trying to battle selfish feelings on top of it which is the pits too. This morning I was at my breaking point and had to cry out to the Lord with all my strength. Over the past few hours He has slowly revealed so much beauty behind my brokenness (especially through this video) and I can't even comprehend how good our Father is. I will be praying for you, Kirby!! Thank you so much again for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
Kirby your video touched my heart because this week wasn't my best week either. Thank you for sharing this message, because Ive been dealing with depression and suicidal thiught so thank you, because your testimony saved me. :)
I'm going through hard time right now and a good quote that's helping me is, "Stop hating yourself for everything you aren't and start loving yourself for everything you are."
Stay strong Kirbs! God has this under control, this video is amazing btw💓 God is good all the time & All the time God is good❤️ Love you so much Kirby, praying for you always😘😘
Thank you for sharing such a private story and really reaching out. it definitely made me think and I'm really proud of you for overcoming and even just trying to get yourself on the right path. Really glad you came out of the accident with only minor problems, definitely am gonna pray for you, you'll be in my thoughts ❤️
this really what i needed because my friend and two others we in a car accident and none of them survived so prayers are much needed for me and my school.
Kirby thank you so much! I may not be religious but I am so moved by your words. I really needed this video now, because I've been in a tough and dark place lately. I cannot thank you enough for making this video. You are not weak at all, you are such a strong person because despite all the things you have been through, you are here today. I love you so much, thank you
