My prayer for you is exactly as it should be- Gods great and glorious plan, Jesus’s comfort and perfect peace. God bless you, man. Continually, just as He has for years. Love to you and your family from mine 💕

      @Yellow Ranger Well, in my opinion Jesus is an imaginary man you pray to, to condone your bad choices. Clayton is a man who speaks up for the rights and support of others instead of giving all the credits to the guy who's been dead for thousands of years and was likely scamming everyone.

And if we have physical, social difficulties and problems it just adds to the mix. But Jesus peace is always on offer and I offer it to you in Jesus Name!

    Thank You , your words resonated with me so deep. I'm 52 years old and for the first time in my life I actually felt I wasn't ALONE. No one understands me , not even my family. Only ONE person actually LISTENED to me , my Sister Pamela , she passed away 13 years ago , Kidney Cancer , Took her to the best Doctor's on Boston MA , where they gave her 5 years at the minimum. She passed in 10 months , there are no words to describe how much I miss her , I would anything to just hear her voice. I've been ALONE since she passed. The struggle of LIFE is so damn hard. Again I'd like to Thank You for artistry ....

      I know it's hard and maybe you don't hear the voice of God for having many things in your mind. Give everyone of your heavy loads to Christ and in your hard seasons, get closer to God.
      Doesn't matter if you feel him further, be sure he isn't, he is and will always be there for you, as he was for me. God bless you brother I completely understand you.

    Clayton, I am so glad you posted this. Not just for us, but for you. The last line in this poem hit hard for me, "I am not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of getting old". Old is where I am and I am lost. At 63, I learned too well how to live in isolation. The comfort of my bedroom keeps the anxiety away, but makes the depression that much stronger. Back in 2013, we moved to a different State. Before I had a chance to learn about where I am, I blew out my left knee. To my surprise I was told I have bad circulation in my lower legs and had to wait for it to resolve before I could get a knee replacement. I am still in a wheelchair. Back in May, I was told that I am not a candidate for the new knee. I will never walk again. The sadness is overwhelming. So, here I sit 24/7 waiting to die. I cannot think of anything else to do. I love you Clayton. God Bless you, Jamie and Arabelle. I pray the baby is doing well.

Sometimes I feel like I’m just complaining because I have God and the past is the past…but it still attacks me. Your song “Dear Anxiety” speaks to me so much, I have panic attacks and trauma I shove down. I know you’re probably not going to read this or have the time to answer, but you’ve inspired me to make some things myself. I wish I could share them with you…but I shouldn’t get ahead of myself. Thank you so much Clayton! You’re in my prayers.

    Hey. This was exactly what I needed to hear. I have been struggling with my mental state and health for a few weeks right now, and it hasn't been getting better. My life has been really hard to live for so long for me with dealing with things that have slowly picked at me and made me hate myself and life. Right now, my mental health/state has taken control of my life, I haven't felt like doing anything like getting out of bed, eating, and just doing everyday things. I struggle with talking about my mental health and my issues because I never want people to worry about me, and so I put on a mask for everyone around me.
    This video made me tear up, but this isn't the only one that has made me cry. You have amazing videos and are such an amazing and inspiring person to many people, and such an amazing example of how people can deal with mental illness, but it can be overcome and that we can take control of it. Thanks for everything you have done, and for what's coming.

    You are a beautiful soul Clayton. It must be hard to carry that weight. Your music has helped so many including myself. Sometimes we need to listen to our own words 💜

    Absolutely you are a gift. The words you spoke registers with alot of people. My spirit has been really struggling here since almost a year ago I had another really big encounter. I have been
    afraid that once I acknowledge it then it's over but I see it's going to be no matter what I do it will be. I have to thank you and I will look forward to meeting you one day.

    Been listening to this one on Spotify, so glad to see a video of it now. Even though everyone has a different story, we all in some way shape or form have had life hit us- in really, hard, hard ways. Thanks Clayton for this message and all your others, keep going man through God you can do all things

    Clayton, I know I’m late to comment on this, I never knew what to say. You’re such an inspiration to everyone, and I’m not sure you’ll ever see this, but you are the reason I’m still going. I deal with constant anxiety attacks and depressive episodes, I self harm daily because it’s the only way I can cope without bothering anyone else. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve laid in bed so close to ending it, and I listen to your poetry, that’s fr the only reason I’m still here.
    I know I’m probably not enough for anyone here on earth, and probably never will be, but you’ve made me realize I’m at least enough for my Heavenly Father.
    I mean this with all my heart, I don’t know what to do right now, I’m at the hardest point in my life, but you help me see how important it is to seek the lord.
    All I want is to see you in person some day, or even just to talk to you, you are my biggest inspiration.
    I love you Clayton

    I was in South Africa at CFC celebration when you spoke about two letters you received. I've never forgotten that message, especially the one letter you read. How a father lost his son to depression, he knew that he wouldn't see his son again. There's one sentence that lit a fire in me and i hope that fire still burns within you Clayton. The father said this to you in the letter you read to us, " I found him in his room unresponsive with a gun in his hand. I'm not trying to ruin your day, I'm trying to tell you as a brother in Christ that you keep preaching the Cross for the world to hear. It is our only hope. I will never see my son again, but i hope another parent out there can say differently about their child because of your preaching.''

    I know you may not see this... But on the off chance you do, I think that you should know that I think your spoken words are amazing and very encouraging. I write poetry myself, and I have written four books that I hope will bring glory to God. I think at times we just need to hear someone else say that you are a blessing, and God has you here for a reason. We all go through hard times in life, I just came through a time of bad sickness. And I lost my brother last year, he wrote spoken word too, and he enjoyed listening to you. We are all here for the glory of God! Remember that you are here for a purpose. and thank you for sharing. Your sister in Christ, Kaily E. Keyes

    Hey Clayton, I don't think you'll ever read this but I want you to know that you are amazing. I've posted on several of your videos, but I keep coming back because you honestly give me strength to keep going. I've noticed your channel is changing a bit, I hope everything is okay. I understand if it isn't, though. Please keep moving forward, whatever it takes. You've saved too many of us, myself included. Your soul may feel torn sometimes, but it's beautiful. Thank you so much and god bless.

But Last night I had a razor blade against my wrist and remembered you and it made me feel like Atleast someone was there, even if u do not know me. I don’t know what I’m going to do right now and I cant promise that I’m gonna be ok, but thank you for saving me last night Clayton.

    Clayton, I've just gotta say like so many others, You Saved My Life. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was in the single digits. Never knew what it was until I was 26, how I made it that long is beyond me.
    Your poetry is so raw and honest and this one in particular hits the closest to my heart. So please don't ever let the devil stop you from doing what you have been doing, because without you this 42 year old mother of two wouldn't be here anymore. I dream of one day getting to meet you and hug you for all that you have done for me.
    And now everytime those evil/bad thoughts come to my mind, I just listen to your poetry.
    I can never thank you enough.
    - Christy B.

    Dear Clayton, you will probably never read this and that is perfectly fine. However, I would just like to comment and say that your videos/poetry have helped me many nights. I am a veteran with PTSD and depression and have many times wanted to take my life. Listening to your words has stopped me on many occasions. This video really spoke to me tonight because, not long ago, I was in that same situation. Thank you for being so open about yourself and mental health with us. Screw your haters,; please keep providing us with this magnificent work!

    Clayton, you have no idea how good of timing this video was posted. I have been struggling with masturbation and porn addiction for 9+ years. I haven't told many about this battle of mine due to shame and guilt. This will be the first time that I put it out there for others to see. Honestly, I am terrified to even leave this comment. But I feel like I have to. Today, the guilt pushed me to the point of vommiting. I don't wanna live like this anymore. I will keep my faith in the Lord and trust that he is helping me in this battle. I ask that whoever reads this, pray for me. Please and thank you. God bless.
    Edit: Thank you for this video, Clayton. Thank so much for reminding me that I am not alone.

    The devil is running wide open these days trying to capture as many souls as he can. His goal is to work on eliminating those who stand strong in their faith toward the Lord. The devils goal is to come at you from all angles to try and wear you out and break you down to the point of giving up. Those who stand strong in the name of the Lord will never be taken by the devils sword. Stay Strong!
