Hello community! Wanted to say that I love what we are building here. I went through the comment section of previous videos this week and saw so many thoughtful, encouraging, funny or educative comments! Even when people leave questions, many of you take the care to answer, pray with or encourage them. I love all the positivity 🤍 Last month was a bit hard for me and decided to share with you guys - please give the video a thumbs up! And share with everyone you know
Spending time with God again after being off for a while can be so refreshing! God's word basically brings healing! This is really relatable and I've learnt as well Thank you Ezinne!
"You don't have to be everything all at once. This is your whole life" you saying that God told you this gave me goosebumps because I just got off a call before watching this video where I was explaining how I am feeling worn out because of some plans I had and I felt a certain pressure to work on everything now. But I know better now, thank you so much Ezinne Zara💕
This! I can relate to this story, high performance, "good girl", wanting to hit many things at once. Today is one day I decided to sly everything and just rest without guilt
I love how your channel is so REAL! Highs, lows, and everything in between. One would think that strong Christians don’t/shouldn’t get burnt out, or get to a point where they haven’t spent as much time with God, but real life doesn’t always look like that. Thanks for also sharing the things you do to recharge and bounce back!
Journalling my thoughts and journey has been immensely helpful to me. It puts things into perspective and I can look back at my writing later to see how I felt in that moment. Thank you so much for this video
Yes I totally agree with you...... when my heart and mouth feels too full either with things I should worry about or I am grateful for, I let my hands talk for me with writing letters to God. It helps so much.
Sincerely this message was for me. My birthday was on the 23rd and I fell sick that morning and since that day up until Yesterday I totally shut God out. I really got very depressed and kept running from God.. stopped reading my Bible, running from christian contents. And now I feel guilty going back to God😭
Yessss. One of the first things that suffers when life gets hectic is my devotional life too. It’s just funny because that’s what I need the most to function properly. Yesss exactly speaking to God throughout the day, but the dedicated time feeds your soul!
Those videos that make you say “thank you God for leading me here “ Thank you for sharing these with us! I’ll be 20 soon and somehow I find myself doing too much
Same here.... Will be 20 by December and the pressure b4 I got into this channel has been so much... But now I can say I am just letting GOD lead me... I will obey and won't put unnecessary pressure on myself... I am to please GOD made not impress Man
The part you said "stepping into the mind of God" got me. Trying to know what God is thinking 🤔 . I really love that and I will add that to my conversations with God. You have been a blessing Ezinne, Thank you
Been waiting, checking this space and IG. It's so refreshing to have Ezinne share so much with us. May you constantly be refreshed, rejuvenated and spoilt by Abba. I love you Ezinne. 💕
I think since we know how refreshed we get when we get to spend time with God , we should REALLLY be intentional about spending time with Him daily, if that would mean adjusting our sleeping schedule,spacing out work, etc. We don’t need to wait till we’re burnt out before spending time with God or going to Him. let’s try to be intentional about our time with God no matter what🥺 cos it helps us at the end of the day. God help us..
Same here you clearly described me ezinne, I'm an introvert and spending time alone and with my family keeps me sane aside that I work so much, I'm always about now,it's like my brain is just on a roll cause when I get the work done I have a good and happy feeling, it even leaves me so exhausted and burnt out cause I'm like I must do this now. But then I'm like what's next and sometimes when I don't get it done I feel not so good. Up until some months back and daily the holy spirit is teaching me to take things slowly and a day at a time. And true spending quality time with God even if it isn't praying just singing or listening to worship songs I feel so refreshed and good, and I get to hear him especially if it feels like some situations are drowning
Wooow i came here at 33 seconds and 2 views and I'm done watching and seeing almost 300 views. We were really waiting for you ezinne♥ Thanks for sharing. Spending time with friends who love you and who you love is everything and more, I get the part about wanting to spend time alone and it's just satisfying. Also God is good and loves us upon still, even though, regardless, nevertheless😅 He's always waiting for us to meet him and is happy when we do. Welcome ezinne🤗
I decided to take a retreat and spend time in HIS presence, and coming here, I came across this. Your videos are always timely, sure it's not a coincidence. Thank you for sharing, just what I needed and could totally relate to. Thank you so much, Ezinne ❤ God bless you.
Sometimes, you need to give your soul a vacation. I pray that God’s peace and grace rests on you completely ❤️ Currently going through the same thing and I have a mental health diagnosis (MDD) so it can get a bit difficult. I had actually just decided that I need to spend more time with myself, hoping that it would help. Thank you for encouraging me to do that x
Thanks for sharing, in spending time alone please don’t isolate yourself as that can make it worse but spend your time doing things you love and with people who genuinely love you 🤍
Thank you so much for sharing this ma'am. As an introvert, I can totally relate with spending time alone to recharge. Spending dedicated time with God too is amazing. There's a peace and sense of comfort it brings whenever I'm in a tough situation so I try to remind myself that lasting peace doesn't come from other things but only from God. Thank you again for sharing. God bless you and uphold you ma'am. ❤️ Your hair looks amazing btw☺️. Are they micro locs?
Two minutes into this video and I feel that you're telling me my story! The workaholic spirit were it started from, the high performance spirit. Girl! I can so totally relate and trust me I understand even the words you've not explained in the video!
I love how I could relate a lot to this, God was literally telling me at certain points to pause the video to emphasize bits and pieces and using these parts to teach me What really stood out for me was, everyone gets burnt out and coming back home is necessary when there’s realization and also how you try to find out the heart posture of God is sooooo beautiful, this was soooo refreshing and I don’t feel alone in this, thank you Ezinne
Hi Ezinne, I just listened to a message before getting in here again that talks about that last thing you mentioned. It talks about how we pursue legal and legitimate things so much that they become idols to us; our work, children, husbands, wives, business, academics, practically everything takes up so much of our time that we can't even pray or study the Word. These things automatically become IDOLs. Thanks for sharing
My favorite thing about this was speaking to God and asking how God is doing. I’ve always been intentional about trying to listen to God and speaking to God like a friend, but asking about His well-being? Thank YOU! Praying you’re well rested now and you’re not overwhelmed/ burned-out this August. Happy New Month ❤️
I went through the same thing last month. At the beginning of the month, it was very sweet taking time to fellowship with God but at a point, something happened that broke my heart and I literally pushed God aside. Nudges came here and there but my expression was like: "I'm not in the mood"😭😂💔. I just realized that, it was only God that was there for me when I felt alone and broken. He was the only one that really understood me and could take away my pain. I ran back to my first love sharp sharp!!!😭. I begged for mercy and I made up my mind to stay even when things don't seem alright because that's my happy place and my well of strength🤍. Thank you Ezinne ❤️
Can totally relate to the workaholic nature, so bad that I didn't even accept help from people. Thank God, He always changes us when we come to him. We don't stay the way we are
Omg this is a confirmation of what the Holy Spirit said to me today🥺 I love to work and crush goals so not working or learning makes me uncomfortable. This morning I was telling God how I have a lot of books I need to read, a lot of podcasts and people to listen to and gain wisdom from and I felt really pressured and he said “ you have your whole life to keep growing and becoming, who said you have to do all the learning in this stage that you are at” and that really gave me peace 🥺 I experience burnt out a whole lot and it always leads to temptation, either to eat a lot of junk and binge Netflix or sexual temptations start knocking😩
I love how relatable this video is 🥺 From being an over performer/achiever to getting satisfaction from work and enjoying my own company a whole lot. Spending time with friends and family does help to recalibrate, lately I’ve been really wishing to be in the same state with my friends so we can have a girls hangout 🥲 but until then my family will do🤍 Thank you Ezinne 🥺
Thanks for sharing dear Ezinne Zara. I can't imagine going for 1 week or two without talking with God. Once you are used to spend time with Him you will know that immediately you don't spend time with Him even for a day you become overwhelmed. That's my indicator when burnout starts setting in and I refocus immediately.
When watching this video it reminds me of what many Christians always said " never giveup of trying to walk with God no matter what ". So it's a good reminder to us all Christians. God bless you Ezinne.
I needed this, I'm currently down and sick, it's mostly because I work round the clock even when I'm asleep I feel I'm not doing enough but I know like this time when I'm ill God is closer to me than ever, be wants to comfort me and assure me that I'll be fine in the end. Thanks for this Ezinne, God bless u
It's funny how this video is 10 months old(as at the time of watching) and it's still relevant to me in this season. My second temperament is Choleric which means I take my work very seriously, too seriously as some would say but stumbling on this video, made me realize that I can't do everything and be everything all at once and it's completely okay to ask for help especially from God. Thank you Ezinne Zara for sharing some of these tips and I can't for you to come back online. I've missed you.
Dedicated time with God is everything to me. My goodness. It’s a joy to my soul. I don’t care if it’s three hours, I just love it and it’s the best part of my day. I always say that when we had lockdown, it was a blessing for me because I got to enjoy being in the presence of God even more. Conversations with the Holy Spirit is fun yet so humorous. Sometimes, life happens and it’s so easy to get caught up in many things but time with God is a treasure for me. I love spending time with people. Whether it’s calling them to gist and catch up, it’s a moment in time that matters. When you mentioned about being an introvert, I can relate but I’m actually an extrovert/introvert. I absolutely love time alone but I also deeply cherish spending time with people. Balance and intentionality is key in all that we do. Thank you for your sharing your heart with us. The small clips in this videos were so nice. God bless you 🙏🏿
I honestly feel led to this video. Especially at the beginning part about wanting people to like us and not easily saying what we don't like and expressing healthy anger when boundaries are crossed. Thank you so much for this. I learnt a lot❤
I like that in the midst of your friends and family, you find peace and can be yourself again. And definitely, how it’s important that no matter how far we’ve drifted from God, we go back to him
I can totally relate to being burnt out and the binge eating part for comfort! Totally relate!!! Now, I’m trying to understand that life sometimes isn’t always fast paced so now I’m taking each day at a time, your skin is popping too🥰
Thank you for dropping this Ezinne. I feel my relationship with God has improved since I discovered your channel. I'm in a place of trying to know God. Lol. And so far I'm enjoying this journey. Thank you. Blessings unto you I pray. I'm an introvert too. I enjoy my own space so much. I just can't wait for everything to fully align so that I can fully stay alone. Thank you for this.
This video is so timely, I feel like God spoke to you to just post this video for my sake, because I was about to deliberately fall into temptation and just enjoy the temporary feeling of satisfaction in it. Thank you so much Ezinne.🥺🥺
I feel the same when things become hectic in my life .This video just came at the right time, i have been feeling lazy and heavy lately .The way I use to worship has changed and so many other things. I feel fry.
Hi Ezinne... I feel my steps were orchestrated to come across your videos. When I went through your videos I was like 'boom' I had found my strength... It hasn't been easy for me getting to know God and after times of thinking that God doesn't see the efforts am making to seek him, I just see myself falling... But ever since I started watching your videos like 2days ago, I just felt strength and courage to hold God tight and seek him harder than I had ever done....I bless God for you and I always look forward to your videos 😘
The hectic seasons affect our spiritual life which if not attended to could lead to spiritual death. I have been facing this of late and I am working towards rekindling my relationship with God because I can not survive outside God. My Bible study plan has been of help too. Bible study makes me realize what and how God thinks and expects of me. Thank you, Ezinne for sharing. Your faith talks inspire me a lot.🔥🥰🙇♂️
06:25 that song 😂❤️ Vulnerable!!! Love you for being an honest Christian. This is exactly what people need to see. You’re a great vessel Ezinne. You’ll see one day looking back.✅
Awww. So realistic. We constantly need to be refreshed by God, our community and nature. I can so relate. I honestly can’t function without being refreshed by Gods presence , I’ll just be a mess 😆🤪. Thank you for sharing and I pray you are strengthened for the days ahead . God bless you
I really relate to spending time alone. I so much love and enjoy my company that I have to sometimes caution myself to reach out to people. I spent June alone. I just needed to recharge, I didn’t even realise I was burnt out till I saw this video. Thank you so much, God bless you
Your videos always make me smile, teach me amazing things. Thank you for allowing God use you. I am currently experiencing a burn out with so much to do, so much expected of me and I am so overwhelmed. This gave me a lead, some sort of how. I am grateful I stumbled on this video
Thank you so much for this I have been going through burnout and anxiety spells this past few months and I have been feeling alone. And so ashamed because my secret place suffered, watching this is such an encouragement to get back to God . Thank you Ezinne God bless you
Oh my goodness Mr. Gabor Mate the canadian doctor ...He is an amazing man of God . The Father led me to him a couple years ago, i was crying out to be a better mother hes amazing Amen.
I can relate😇😇 This last month was such a month of confusion for me,I spent a lot of time alone didn’t even want to talk to family cause I felt like I would get more angry but at the end I reconciled with God and that was were I found my solace,I am better now.
Thank you for letting God use you as a vessel to reach us. I want to be so many things and I feel like I have so little time so I’m constantly worrying that I’m not doing enough and constantly overworking myself. This was needed.
I came across your video in this very challenging important time of my life ...many troubling questions, temptations and roller coaster a Teenager (young adult ) will come across/experience in life . Last year isn't something i ever want to experience (not all tho) ;but here I am, the right place at the right time😚...Thank u Lord❤️ Thank you Mrs Ezinne Zara for Following Jesus when he called out to you ❤️ I love you 😚🥰✨
Thank you for sharing your story and well done for being brave & choosing not to let yourself be limited by your past - the best years of your life are in front of you 🤍
Angel is so beautiful too😍. Actually all four of you that went on the trip, I was just looking like, we are all truly individually stunning and there's no one quite like each of us. God dey create masterpieces sha
This talking to God is so relatable. Sometimes we get too busy with the world but always coming back is what makes it amazing. It's such a blessing to have a relationship with God ❤️
As an introvert, i can relate so well with this. you got me hooked with your channel by the realness and genuine content you provide. keep bringing it real. thank you🥰
I can so relate. The past month was also hectic and I was spending less and less time with God. But this morning I actually took some time and spent with Him and I felt so refreshed. 💕
Hello Ezinne Zara. As I am writing now I am at my lowest point I am finding it so hard to not think about my challenges right now, I work up this morning from a bad dreams I feel terrible and I don't now what to do. Right now I just want to talk to God and for him to reassure me that everything work be sorted out quickly, I don't know how long it's going to take but I just want God to show me a sign that He's working on my case.
Hello Ezinne, this was so beautiful to watch 😍. I can totally relate, especially to the part were you get to spend dedicated time with God and catch up in your relationship with Him. Sometimes, I'm just overwhelmed with so much that I kinda push God away for a while, but then His mercy and grace stands out for me always and He draws me back to a place of intimacy with him. Thank you so much for this video 😍
I relate so much to number 3. Glad to know I can all always run to God during a draining burn out. Thanks for the tips This was so beautiful to watch ❤
THE GIRL I LIKE PUT ME ON TO YOUR CHANNEL IN HER VLOG AND EVER SINCE I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER STOPPED WAITING FOR NEW VIDEOS, AND I CAN TOTALLY RELATE TO THESE, I SPEND ALONE TIME AROUND NATURE SELFREFECTING, PRAYING & WRITING MY THOUGHTS TOO, ALSO I CAN'T LIE THAT I TOTALLY RELATE WITH THE PART WHERE YOU HARDLY SPEND DEDICATED TIME WITH GOD WHEN DOWN CAUSE I(MAYBE YOU TOO) ALWAYS FEEL THE URGE TO WORK TO AVOID THESE THOUGHTS OF COMING THROUGH MY MIND BUT THAT'S WILD BECAUSE IT WILL EVENTUALLY STILL COME BACK AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE SO IT'S BETTER YOU FACE THEM IN PRAYERS TALKING TO GOD ABOUT IT & TRUSTING IN HIS TIMING TO HELP YOU OVERCOME THEM. GOD BLESS YOU.
I can relate to every single part of this video. I've felt really burned out the past month and my time with God suffered terribly. The longer time I spent "away" the harder it seemed coming back Thank you for sharing
Thank you Sis Ezinne for sharing this. God really uses you to speak to me and many others at the right time with the right things we need to hear. I've learned a lot from this. Ps: You and your friends are so beautiful❤
Same! I used to hold in a lot and not express myself because I thought that was the ‘Christian’ thing to do then over time noticed I was only resentful and bitter. There is a place for healthy expressions of anger - but it doesn’t lead to sin
Just like everyone else. I love and appreciate you. You are an inspiration. Thank you for letting us learn from the Light God has put in you. Indeed you are an instrument in the Hands of Abba. If only you know how far what you have done has gone to touch lives. Our spiritual lives and journeys at some point has been marked with paintings from your brush . You let God use you and now we are gaining. Both when you Hit low and Hit High remember that you are highly blessed.
I really love watching your videos. They are all so relatable to my life and watching your videos is a guidance for me on building my spiritual and life as general. Thank you for accepting your calling with the Lord ❤️
I can totally relate to what you’re saying. I tend to push myself so much to be perfect and tick every box, every time. I can lie to myself that it’s just diligence but a part of it is wanting to prove to myself and others that I’m focused and making the right moves in life. It’s also a fear of not repeating mistakes that I seem to not have completely forgiven myself for. And then I get burnt out and turn to food and social media for comfort, which eventually make me feel worse and the cycle continues. I really pray that the Lord delivers us and teaches us how to live in His sabbath.
I can so relate with every bit of this! I celebrated my birthday in June but i was preparing for school and so was so worn out. Being an introvert too, i just decided to withdraw to spend the day all by myself and alone with God and it was honestly the best birthday ever! I'm glad you're doing well and i pray that you will constantly be refreshed and at peace by the Spirit of God
This video is sooo relatable....my fav part is everythinggg the spa section and the hangout with your girls is so beautiful to watch plus the intro is everythingggg
I can relate to all🥺. And yeah, the part where you said your relationship with God suffers the most is basically the same for me because after waking up I feel so occupied that I might skip doing the necessary things.
I just discovered that I'm an introvert and I can totally relate with being alone to recharge but these days, its been really hard. When I'm alone these days, its just tears and overthinking. I can also relate with the part where you said "when life gets hectic, your relationship with God suffers." I recently experienced this.
The way God is so mindful🥺 It's like God told you to do this video for people like us, I've been in this space for the past 2 weeks non stop, literally working 20hours a day, been battling with being a perfectionist and OCD...this was comforting 💚
Hello Ezinne! Your video was super relatable, and inspiring. It reminds me that I’m human, and helped me be more comfortable talking to Him. I just have to remind myself that He is loving and forgiving. I pray i begin to hear from Him the way I know He wants to speak to me. Have a great day!
Love how you said ‘dedicated’ time. With believers the truth is God is always with us, or rather were always with God (His Spirit in us) but the thing is we’re not aware of it all the time. But set apart/ dedicated time is still so important. Thank you for this, Zi!
How do I like this video more than once😩. You’ve been a huge blessing in my life. Just getting started to strengthening my relationship with God and you’ve made such a huge impact❤️
