An old preacher once said, “The devil knows how to get your goat, because he knows where you tie it.” Keep growing! Lots of wisdom in those young bones.

Corie, I am 61 years old and I still struggle with my "mean" voice. I beat myself black and blue regularly! After watching you and your sister and your parents, there are so many things we share in common. My husband would never talk to me the way I talk to myself. I know better as a child of God. Sometimes I even believe He will forsake me when I know the Bible DOES NOT SAY THAT!!!! I am so blessed to be able to do so many things, just because I can't do everything I want to do doesn't mean I lack any good thing!!!! I'm a pretty happy person, too, but if I get on that negative track, I find it hard to pull myself off!!! Thank you for this video today. You are such a blessing.
We always give others more grace than we give ourselves. If the Lord blesses us by giving us his grace why do we not give ourselves that grace, forgiveness, love, and encouragement. You are right on target sweetheart. Thank you for reminding us to give ourselves room to live in grace. I make lists too and expect so much. I use this reminder for myself. Stay out of the past that is the devil's favorite club to beat you with. Stay out of the future that belongs to God and He's got it. Live just for today and love yourself as well as others. If we are enough for Jesus then we are enough. Love and God's blessings to you sweet Corie. Make this a good day. Love you. 🥰
I was just thinking the other day "how would I treat baby Jesus". With grace and compassion, of course. Well, be that way toward yourself and others. Thanks Corey.
Love this message. I struggle with this so much I don't even like to look in the mirror, yet I know that it is wrong and I am who God made me to be, so I should love the person looking back.
One thing that has always helped me is to ask God to help me see myself the way He sees me. The scriptures tell us how much He loves us. The Holy Spirit can help us feel that love, that patient, gentle way He loves us.
We all need to put on the full armor of the Lord every day! Thank you so much for sharing, it helped me very much. Keep sharing what the Lord lays on your heart. Here I am at 76 still learning God’s wisdom. He is so gracious. Keep growing and learning and sharing, I will be praying for you!
Spiritual warfare I have been fighting this my whole life I'm a lot older than you I will be Praying for you and your family God Bless Y'all In Jesus Name Amen
My wise Mama always told us "all you can do, is all you can do. And all you can do is enough." She also said " no one's going to know the difference a hundred years from now". Those words of wisdom have given me perspective and guidance and comfort through the years. She also taught us to see the beauty in God's handiwork, and as her mother before her, left a great example of a Godly life. God made each one of us as an original, uniquely individual, even identical twins are their own person. Similar but different. We need to love ourselves, as He does.
Amazing young woman here! She understands morals, respect & just being a good soul. I'm 68 & I'm still learning to be a good person. Thank you to her great parents & Corrie as well. Joan frm NY.
First of all Corie, you can read through the comments on this video and see that who you are is enough because of who GOD made you to be. You are helping so many people. Look at it like this, we have two sides of our being inside of us, positive & negative, right & wrong, good & bad etc. etc. and whichever one you feed the most is the one that’s gonna thrive. So feed the good one all you can & starve the bad one death. GOD made you to be you, not someone else. Remember this quote that I shared with you earlier: DON’T LET THINGS YOU HAVEN’T ACCOMPLISHED ROB YOU OF WHAT YOU HAVE!!!! STAND FIRM & WALK WELL FOR JESUS TODAY & IN THE DAYS AHEAD! Also thanks for sharing the scriptures & for not being ashamed of your FAITH! 😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻❤️❤️ Robbie Lynn & I are always here for ya.
Comparison is the thief of joy! I've walked this path and completely understand where you are coming from. Its a hard lesson to learn, but fighting it will give you freedom! I am a twin as well. Even though she is my best friend, I subconsciously compared myself to her growing up. I think that played a psychological part in the way I talked to myself. Thank you for sharing your heart on this!
Corie, This was spot on what I needed to hear, so thank you for following your heart. A little over a year ago out of nowhere a stroke knocked me down. I was at home , in the hallway. I had just woke up and was headed to the living room to greet my wife. I felt like this sickness had taken every thing from me. I Play guitar and banjo. Used to sing. I do artwork. At first it felt like in the blink of an eye I was robbed of all the parts of me that was worth anything. I spent many weeks in hospitals. Had brain surgery and have not been able to walk since. I am 68 years old and find myself having to relearn most everything but like you I know the LORD and HE will finish this work in me. Thanks for all you do. Darrell.
I'm 57 years old and been like this and just couldn't shake. You are a very vise lady for age and thank you for giving me this much needed direction xxx
I'm 61. It is the devil, but he's using our own attitudes toward ourselves to try to hurt us. The Lord is working with me on this, & I'm learning to be less unkind to myself, but I'm a to-do lister too & it doesn't matter how much I have done, I always feel like I've fallen short of some standard that I'm making for myself! I'm glad you have become aware of this young, I know the Lord will get you there. Thanks for the courage to share something so personal. I think it will reach a lot of people. The Lord has pointed out to me that HE doesn't like how I talk to me, & it's changing. Found myself playfully chiding myself yesterday rather than calling myself names. He is so good! And He thinks we are so special-we need to keep His attitudes towards us & let go of our own. Thank you for sharing the gospel-God bless. Love your family.
Corie…I have struggled with this my entire life. In August 2002 I went to a therapist, once a week for 9 months. It’s by far the hardest thing I have ever done and the best thing I ever did for myself. I learned how to cope with these thoughts and also found out that I probably will struggle somewhat my whole life. I know how I got started on that vicious circle. So therefore, I now know how to better deal with it. I was just something that I could not pray my way out of. So between that therapist and studying His word daily…it changed my entire life. Blessings and best wishes to you and others who have this same issue. 🙏🏻💕
Lovely to meet you. I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this today, and here you are. I'm old enough to be your grandma but you had the words to touch my heart. Somedays, the ghosts long gone, the poor decisions, life's heartbreakers, all the goals I couldn't reach, the lives I should have... coulda, woulda, shoulda. Sending you love and blessings from Israel. 💙🇮🇱🙏
As a believer I really enjoyed you opening your heart to us. I tend to over analyze things as well. I now take things day by day. I pray to God for guidance everyday and give him thanks. Great video.
You are a breath of sweet, sweet air. It brought tears to my eyes to hear your comforting, affirming words this morning. Thank you for the reminder that God has declared us his daughters and sons , joint heirs with Jesus. The world can be a very ugly place and for us to treat ourselves ugly on top of that is not smart. God bless you , Corie , as you listen to God’s voice in your heart and respond to his leading.
Well thanks to your Phillipians scripture I decided to go to church last week. It was a positive service. The pastor said not to think if your glass is half full or half empty, but to be thankful you have a glass. I like that form of side stepping. A girlfriend I asked once, how she stayed so bubbly and upbeat, and not disappointed or let down by family and friends, and she replied, I lowered my expectations to rock bottom, so everything seems like a bonus. I know life is not that simple, but it can be. Be thankful if you have a family, I have no one save my 3 little dogs. "Perfectionism is, when the time expended outweighs the benefit."
Oh Corie! You hit the nail (me) on the head! I've never felt I have done enough. Always felt I could do better, do more & be a better person. I've struggled so bad with talking down to myself since I've been disabled. I'm always telling myself I'm stupid, dumb, not good enough, useless, etc. Even my husband has asked me why I feel that way about myself. I'm 63 yrs old & here is a 25 yr old teaching me something important. God's love is everlasting. I love Psalms! You are amazing, sweetheart! I love you & Katie so very much! Y'all are so precious! Love & hugs to you & all the family from VA! 🙏📖🌺🤗🦋🌻
You have blessed a lot of people with this, myself included. I’m a lot older than you, and I’ve learned when I start walking down this path, I try to find at least one thing that I did right today. It might be just the fact that I did the dishes or told my husband that I love him. Then tomorrow I find two things an so on. When you start knocking the weeds down in this path, it’s easier to walk it. God bless you and yours. ❤️
Financially I don't get thing's done that I want to have done. I've learned to except that my ability isn't the level of everyone around me. So do what you can do and go at the pace you can do. And balance your life with something fun that's completely just for you and no one else. Having fun is important.
Preach Sister. I'm sorry you've struggled with this issue. I myself had to turn and hit the rewind button in my mind. I'm a blood bought daughter of the most high. That's enough. He loves me unconditional. I'm enough. It is finished. He paid that price. I'm loved and that's enough. That was my self duologue for anytime the enemy encroached. Believe it till you feel it. Hit that rewind button. And put the promise of God on that tape. And who you are to him. Ya the enemy loves to mess and war in the battlefield of the mind. Capture every thought. Rebuke him with the word of God, and he will flee. God Bless You Cory. We all love and appreciate you very much 🙏🥰🤩
This house of Flesh is but a Prison, Bars of bone are holding my Soul. But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open when the Angel sets my spirit free. Here is a verse that keeps me holding on through my lowest point "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (my favourite Bible verse) God bless 🙏🏻✝️🕊️
I have found that I have said things to myself, about myself, that I would never dare say to another person. It easy to be gracious to others. It's difficult to internalize the fact that I am allowed to be gracious to myself. Hugs, hon.
Thanks girl . I am my own worst critic. I feel like I can always do more or could have done a better job. I was always pushed by my parents not in a negative way bit they wanted me to succeed . I was a Marine and that was the same way. I am now retired from that and work in the civilian sector and I am so mean to myself because i feel i need to make a difference in EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. I needed to hear it. God Bless
Sometimes (lots of times) it's lies of the enemy that gets us to beating ourselves up. It helps me to ask the Lord to help me take every thought captive,I cannot do it on my own. The verses were great! Keep these talks coming.
Thank you Cory for the reminder. In my late 70s I still am hard on myself. I always feel I could have been more productive in a day. I’m slower than I used to be and don’t get as much done in a day. Good to know others feel this way. You are wiser than your years. Many blessings to you and yours!
Just before my 87 year old dad passed away, my oldest brother asked him if he had any regrets. My dad was quiet for awhile but then replied, “no, I have no regrets. I made the best decision I could make at the time with the information that I had.” After he passed, my mom passed two months later. I had been taking care of them due to cancer and congestive heart failure. I asked myself if I could have done something different and kept them with me a little longer. My husband reminded me that I had done the best I could with the information that I had at the time. That has been what I have clung to since their passing. Be nice to “you.” 💗💗
God put you in my path today! I needed to hear this so bad. I'm usually always worried that I've hurt someone and that's usually when I get down on myself!!! Yes, God knows every hair on our head and if we just ask He WILL help us!!!! He knows our heart and what we're thinking but I just think He wants us to talk to Him!!! Thank You!!!!
I want to say that it's very difficult when we just want to be the best at everything. ..❤❤ You said this very well...but God says you are enough...we all have very unique gifts from the Holy Spirit..yours is unique ❤
Put your friend’s number on speed dial and call them daily for positive talk while you are learning to talk positively to your self. Speaking from experience, after decades on the planet, this is exactly how to put the brakes on forming negative pathways!!!
Simply look at the comments from your subscribers! The result is always greater than the negative! You are precious to us! Love yourself as God loves you!
I NEEDED this SO much! I literally call myself Idiot OUTLOUD.. And in front of any one. Even my kids. I would NOT call anyone else that but often do myself. I have asked God myself and others "what is wrong with ME? Why am I excluded with especially with my sibling and their family.. All the family I have left other than my little household.. friends.. but Im the one that does and gives everything but the first one left out.. Something has to be wrong with me. I will find myself sitting alone in my house and then get SO ANGRY with myself because Im missing out on MY little family.. The one GOD gave me. I feel like a failure at it all. Could have done more, better, faster, had I do e more maybe they would want me around and I will have NOTHING left to give. Ugghh im done complaining. Thats not helping. But I am confused. So, I needed this!! So much. Praying for everyone else struggling.. May you find peace and fullness in your hearts and lives
My first thought (like one minute in) 'How on earth could this precious girl ever be mean to her sweet-self?!' (I go into mom-mode where you and sister are concerned, lol, just think y'all are close to perfect as it gets, sincerely do.) I always find something calm, good, edifying, funny or educational/inspiring in EVERY freakin' video y'all (and extended family) make. Never once thought something should be different. You got it right when you said people aren't walking around thinking like that. Indeed the devil wants to help us ruin our lives and wants to steal peace. Let's all of us never let him do that. 🙌🏼 💓 Thank you for this video! ETA: I want to say I think you and sister are (not just) sweet, but also strong (and all that goes w/that).
Thank you for sharing and being real. I know you are happily married, but, still, the first few years of marriage are such a big transition that it can be stressful. Even GOOD change can be stressful. And stress can exacerbate our negative tendencies, like being critical of ourselves. Give yourself grace. Know that you are in the middle of a huge, wonderful change by going from a single woman living at home to being married. :)
I needed to hear this. Dr Charles Stanley has videos on here that are so encouraging. I believe one is titled about how to change your thoughts. I personally felt like God wanted me to start my day hearing what you had to say. Thank you for saying it.
Dr. Stanley has meant so very much to me over my life. He has a way of teaching the bible that really resonates with me and sinks into my memory. His videos on CZcams are great. I love both the full sermons and the daily devotional his channel sends out. I start my day with him each morning, and it's been wonderful.
You've got it part right. It's a brain chemistry issue. I can swear by anxiety meds. I've been on them for years. They're not harsh. They're pretty painless. I promise you you're exhibiting symptoms of anxiety disorder. Your quality of life will drastically improve.
Im a believer and this is totally helpful to my 40 something self. Going to have my young teenager watch it as well. Both of yall would make such amazing mentors to young girls if ur not already doing that. The unplannedness (thats not a word) but thats so refreshing about yalls videos
I'm not a believer but it's also helpful to me as I stare down 50 coming fast. I look at where I am career-wise, with my daughter at 25 making the same mount that I do, and feel like I should have been more ambitious even though it's not my nature and I don't like corporate management culture. It's what's expected, especially of men. Then there's the honey-do list that grows ever larger with things on it stretching back years. Regrets can eat one alive
I've had to learn that "I am enough" within the last few years of my life. Looking back on what I've done and how incredible my grown children are. Being aware that "You are enough" makes you wise dear young one. ✨️ 😊
Great Video Corie. As a Christian we will Experience battles between our old nature, which is our sinful nature and our New nature, which is the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Satan wants us to live a defeated Christian life, always questioning ourselves, feeling quilty at times like we are less than and should be a Better Person. God knows that we aren't perfect and won't be perfect until we are standing in His Presence! Our Faith in Jesus Christ is our Hope as He gives each of us His Peace that passes All Understanding as we share our Faith and help lead other's to this Truth along the way. God Bless You and Strengthen you in Your Daily Walk.❤
The Lord has been speaking Psalm 139 to me. Where He says I will hold your right hand. I have been working on breaking a habit in my life. It’s been a battle and I see I’ve been hard on myself. I have not said ugly words over myself. I’m just disappointed I haven’t broke it yet. Your words are encouraging to me. Thank you♥️
The devil will steal your thunder. We all know that he can't create anything new, so he uses good in an evil way. I still think you have a calling in ministry. I truly enjoy your wisdom. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy 🙏 ❤
Sister....yes indeed...yes indeed....God keep you,God Lead you,God bless you....from your brother in the Lord...Walter (from Ocala national forest,florida)
You remind me of myself describing what you are experiencing ! I had trouble being overwhelmed with almost everything . I had mood dis order,a roller coaster of anxiety & depression ! I didn't know what it was .I was a workaholic ,I worked full time job night shift and worked construction during the day ! When working,I didn't have time to stress over life .At work I knew what I had to do ! At home I would stress over what I needed to do first ,or how it should be done! To the point I couldn't get started on anything ,& I would just get more anxiety .I never liked myself and how is anyone else gonna like you if you dont like yourself. I got to the point one day I couldn't shut it off & I got help ,talked to a professional ! That day changed my life .At age 49 I was finally able to understand what was going on in my head !I knew as a kid I worried way way to much about everything ,stressed over things ,didn't like myself ,didn't know why. I felt better almost immediately with help,and have been without stress & depression for 16 years ! Thank you God ! Get some help kiddo ,I see in your eyes I think you might have more Going on inside your pretty head than you realize. There is no shame in seeing what is going on inside the head .I personally feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from me .I ve lived more in the last 16 years than the first 49 years without the dark clouds in my head. In my case I was born with the depression \ anxiety worry ,but in my early years you weren't allowed to admit any problems or you were weak ! That is all BS,and they know so much now about mood disorders & can help so many ways that it is a sin to not get help when it is available ! God Bless You kiddo ,I pray you find a peace inside .Don't be afraid to ask for help !
You are a very special person, you are full of Gods love and are very grateful. Our family loves you so much and we are blessed with all you share. We all fall short in the eyes of God but it is Our doubt that beats us all up. You are such an insightful person and thank you for sharing so much. Xoxo God Bless
Having a therapist to share you thoughts could be beneficial! It's fun to bounce ideas around outside of your mind. I love this, and it totally helped me and it gave me a lot more strength to keep on going! Thank you!
Blows me away when I read something in the bible that I have read many times before then at the appropriate time God reveals a meaning to it I had not ever considered before. Glad the same thing happens you also.
our lives as individuals and as a whole group we all are a tapestry intertwined into a beautiful picture. An artist will always second guess themselves, as we all do. In a tapestry there are all types of colors , just likes things we say and do. To create a masterpieace
Thank you Corie for being faithful and bring this to us! My husband and I are worship leaders at our church, my husband is very impressed with your guitar playin and likes watchin you and Katie play! This was a very needed video for me! Thank you again for listening to Holy Spirit and bringin it to us! Love you sweet girl!!!❤️🙏🏻
All those thoughts are just your self giving you ideas for next time. It's how you interpret your thoughts to yourself. I have had the same issues. If I let my thoughts get away from me I won't be able to get anything done at all. So it's exactly like you're saying: be good to yourself and just remember that you may have done your best at that moment and maybe now you know that you are capable of doing more ore better.
Conroe your devotionals are great ! Please keep doing them when you're led to do so. You have a very special gift. You have wisdom at your age that I'm still working on in my 60s. Not just knowledge but wisdom. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that you don't put tomatoes in fruit salad. God bless you and yours and thank you so much for what you are doing !
I recently read an article that was a great help to me in this area. I'm not sure if youtube will let me post the link for it so I will just put the title of it below: "From Mother of Many to Movie Star Mom: Interview with Lisa Steege of Little Crew Studios" If you search for that it should come up. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling in this area but especially for us girls when the urge to have things be perfect starts to encroach upon our hearts. Thank you, Corie, for sharing what God has laid on your heart, it is nice and refreshing to hear these good things in life, especially when the days are growing dark. God bless you and yours!
Doing our best includes taking care of ourselves. I have learned to take some time each day to do nothing, just relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. Satan has many weapons he uses against us but the Holy Spirit is within us to restrain these weapons if we let him. Philippians 4:8 Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report or virtue; Think on these.
God bless you...this was beautiful. This was the first devotional I have seen from you, and I too struggle with not thinking I am enough. I have lists a mile long, 2 kids, I homeschool, trying to homestead, and seeing beautiful gardens on yt inspires me, but I will be honest, I will compare myself and I feel like I fall short. What a bequtiful reminder that God knows us and loves us deeply. Such wisdom gives me hope in the future generations coming behind mine...Gen X. Love your channel, and your mom's too!!!
Great message, Corie! Thank you for sharing. We are often our own worst enemy, giving ourselves much less kindness & forgiveness than we do those we interact with on a daily basis. I too, am quite guilt of this. I believe this to be a learned behavior, and like yourself, I am determined to “unlearn “ this! I hope others will too.
Im so glad I found your channel. It was truly by accident watching fly fishing videos. I live in NC and come to the mountians to fly fish most weekends. I've taken my 18 year old daughter a couple times and it has been some of the best times in my life. Life leads us in certian directions. Thank you for all of them. I'm sitting at the fly tying desk making fake bugs and watching your video. I don't go to church but I believe. I pray and use fly fishing as my way to get closer to God. Glad he sent me in your direction.
I can't say I relate to the topic you are speaking about because it's not something I experience, but I know there will be people seeing this video who are experiencing the same thing and will gain comfort in just knowing they aren't alone. And you are leading them in the right direction. All the answers are in God's word. Yes ALL of them. So as long as you stay in His word I know you'll be fine. God bless you!
You are such a wise young woman!! Thank you so much for this. I'm 59 years old and work in healthcare. The last 2 years have been unbelievably hard to deal with. I can't wait until I retire and don't have to do it anymore. But I go to work and try to find blessings in taking care of the sick. It's not always nice but sometimes there is that one patient that I feel like I helped for that day. And then I do it again the next day. I pray every day I go to work for God to help me get through. God bless you and your family. You are good enough, please keep making your videos!!
Thank you for being transparent that’s so refreshing. I have been told many times that I’m really hard on myself even by doctors. A wise Godly woman told me that every time I do that I’m insulting THE creator who made me.
This video has spurred contemplation of myself at your young age because this sounds sooo familiar, I do recall being an everything or nothing kind of girl - if everything wasn't in place to get something done i would drop that and go to another it drove people nuts around me because i would make checklists /inventory supplies but when I felt overwhelmed i would second guess myself and feel useless! I dont think anyone noticed how I felt but they heard me growling at myself saying things like that takes real talent to mess up that big! You are right its the devil seeking to steal,kill,and destroy us at every turn even our peace of mind, abilities, forward motion towards HEAVEN always meets resistance! So just know you are going in right direction so cast out any spirit but the holy spirit in JESUS name. And embrace the release feel his refreshment and blessing.🌼
So glad you shared this!!!! I am a 71yr old widow and recently I have been noticing the same feelings!!! Thank you so much for pointing us back to GOD’S WORD! I intended to read Psalm 139 on my birthday this past week as I have done on my birthdays in the past! Alas! I had a doctor appointment that day and found out I have Bronchitis and didn’t read Ps. 139 or do other things I had thought I would that day. 😟 I agree with you that Satan has been stirring up negative thoughts and feelings lately and I don’t want to think like that. I hope I learn to truly “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5) And to remember EVERY DAY to put on THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD! (Ephesians 6:10-18)! Thanks again for listening to The Holy Spirit and making this video! May GOD BLESS YOU as you listen to HIM! HE used you to encourage me today!!!🥰
Oh, Ms. Corie, mah little sister in Chirst! I love your inspiration, insightfulness and your love. I feel that our Lord is so proud of you for expressing such wisdom and compassion for yourself and others. Thank you and bless you for sharing these words! ❤❤❤
I just finished a week of vacation and head back to work on Monday. I mostly spent the week canning and working at the house, which is rewarding, but hard work. I allowed myself a nap or two. I cherished moments spent with the grandkids. I’ve looked around and and seen so much work that still needs to be done, these thoughts pounded my mind today. Thank you for sharing this Scripture and reminding me that God knows me, and that I don’t need to beat myself up. ❤️
Oh my goodness sweet girl, you are wise…so wise beyond your years….you have touched on a subject that resonates within all of us….How brave and strong you are to open yourself up…to expose yourself so intimately; but you are helping so many in ways that you cannot begin to imagine, by sharing your thoughts and personal experience…..don’t ever doubt the good that you are doing here….be patient with yourself and let Him guide you….I believe that He is telling you that this is your purpose…..God bless you sweet Corie…💕💕💕💕🇨🇦🇨🇦
I am 65 years old and the age of 60 I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD.....I wish as a young person I would have been diagnosed because the main thing ADHD does is make you feel, Crazy-Lazy-Stupid and dumb.....I felt that way my whole life and after being diagnosed and found the right med, I feel reborn, I was not Lazy it was just that I could not focus on just one thing and I thought about them and did it in my head then was too exhausted to actually do it, just many things that ADHD plays tricks on ya, Depression and ADHD go hand in hand, I suffered my whole life with depression and since being medicated I am depression free, I do one thing at a time and I actually finish it.....The first thing I noticed after starting the meds is I was in bathroom brushing my hair and I thought WOW there was no rambling thoughts in my head, I was actually only thinking of my hair.....Before my head would be filled with one thought after another and laying in bed at night I would think about everything that had happened that day and also thought about the what if's of tomorrow.....The meds Slow me down and I can function now
Very interesting...I have never considered imagining another person out there verbalized my downfalls or shortcomings I place on myself. I'm rarely satisfied with a fully productive day because I strive to do way too much to start with! I am also my own worst critic. This has always come natural for me, but now I'm in my 50's and I get tired. I am beginning to learn my limitations and find myself talking to God a lot. Sometimes He MAKES me rest. The passage you gave is spot on. Thank you for this post. ♡
Your words filled me with the spirit ive been missing. Thank you. I tell my inner voice, Not today! Am I listening to you. When its real bad I dive into my music. Much love for your family.
An old preacher once said, “The devil knows how to get your goat, because he knows where you tie it.” Keep growing! Lots of wisdom in those young bones.
Ha ha love that Doug! Thanks for sharing 😄 so true!
There is an old wise soul in you young lady. You were raised well.
I totally agree with that!
You absolutely hit it! It is the devil because he isn't happy that you have the ability to touch so many people.
"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world."
~ C.S. Lewis
One of my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes.
Yes!
The other World would be Heaven!!!! This World is Definitely not a Believers Home.
@@dipstick5869 - It soon will be.
Corie, I am 61 years old and I still struggle with my "mean" voice. I beat myself black and blue regularly! After watching you and your sister and your parents, there are so many things we share in common. My husband would never talk to me the way I talk to myself. I know better as a child of God. Sometimes I even believe He will forsake me when I know the Bible DOES NOT SAY THAT!!!! I am so blessed to be able to do so many things, just because I can't do everything I want to do doesn't mean I lack any good thing!!!! I'm a pretty happy person, too, but if I get on that negative track, I find it hard to pull myself off!!! Thank you for this video today. You are such a blessing.

We always give others more grace than we give ourselves. If the Lord blesses us by giving us his grace why do we not give ourselves that grace, forgiveness, love, and encouragement. You are right on target sweetheart. Thank you for reminding us to give ourselves room to live in grace. I make lists too and expect so much. I use this reminder for myself. Stay out of the past that is the devil's favorite club to beat you with. Stay out of the future that belongs to God and He's got it. Live just for today and love yourself as well as others. If we are enough for Jesus then we are enough. Love and God's blessings to you sweet Corie. Make this a good day. Love you. 🥰
Thanks. I needed that!
Very encouraging!!!!!
Thank you this was much needed ❤️
I needed to hear this 😌
I was just thinking the other day "how would I treat baby Jesus". With grace and compassion, of course. Well, be that way toward yourself and others. Thanks Corey.
Love this message. I struggle with this so much I don't even like to look in the mirror, yet I know that it is wrong and I am who God made me to be, so I should love the person looking back.
Amen brother!
One thing that has always helped me is to ask God to help me see myself the way He sees me. The scriptures tell us how much He loves us. The Holy Spirit can help us feel that love, that patient, gentle way He loves us.
We all need to put on the full armor of the Lord every day! Thank you so much for sharing, it helped me very much. Keep sharing what the Lord lays on your heart. Here I am at 76 still learning God’s wisdom. He is so gracious. Keep growing and learning and sharing, I will be praying for you!
🙏❤️
Spiritual warfare I have been fighting this my whole life I'm a lot older than you I will be Praying for you and your family God Bless Y'all In Jesus Name Amen
Thank you Corie💞 for being an open vessel for God to speak through. This message was so timely for me today. Bless you!
💕🙏
My wise Mama always told us "all you can do, is all you can do. And all you can do is enough." She also said " no one's going to know the difference a hundred years from now". Those words of wisdom have given me perspective and guidance and comfort through the years. She also taught us to see the beauty in God's handiwork, and as her mother before her, left a great example of a Godly life. God made each one of us as an original, uniquely individual, even identical twins are their own person. Similar but different. We need to love ourselves, as He does.
Amazing young woman here! She understands morals, respect & just being a good soul. I'm 68 & I'm still learning to be a good person. Thank you to her great parents & Corrie as well. Joan frm NY.
First of all Corie, you can read through the comments on this video and see that who you are is enough because of who GOD made you to be. You are helping so many people. Look at it like this, we have two sides of our being inside of us, positive & negative, right & wrong, good & bad etc. etc. and whichever one you feed the most is the one that’s gonna thrive. So feed the good one all you can & starve the bad one death. GOD made you to be you, not someone else. Remember this quote that I shared with you earlier: DON’T LET THINGS YOU HAVEN’T ACCOMPLISHED ROB YOU OF WHAT YOU HAVE!!!! STAND FIRM & WALK WELL FOR JESUS TODAY & IN THE DAYS AHEAD! Also thanks for sharing the scriptures & for not being ashamed of your FAITH! 😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻❤️❤️ Robbie Lynn & I are always here for ya.
Thank you! 🙏💕☺️
Comparison is the thief of joy! I've walked this path and completely understand where you are coming from. Its a hard lesson to learn, but fighting it will give you freedom! I am a twin as well. Even though she is my best friend, I subconsciously compared myself to her growing up. I think that played a psychological part in the way I talked to myself. Thank you for sharing your heart on this!
Corie, This was spot on what I needed to hear, so thank you for following your heart. A little over a year ago out of nowhere a stroke knocked me down. I was at home , in the hallway. I had just woke up and was headed to the living room to greet my wife. I felt like this sickness had taken every thing from me. I Play guitar and banjo. Used to sing. I do artwork. At first it felt like in the blink of an eye I was robbed of all the parts of me that was worth anything. I spent many weeks in hospitals. Had brain surgery and have not been able to walk since. I am 68 years old and find myself having to relearn most everything but like you I know the LORD and HE will finish this work in me. Thanks for all you do. Darrell.
Thank you for watching and sharing, God bless you ❤️
I'm 57 years old and been like this and just couldn't shake. You are a very vise lady for age and thank you for giving me this much needed direction xxx
I'm 61. It is the devil, but he's using our own attitudes toward ourselves to try to hurt us. The Lord is working with me on this, & I'm learning to be less unkind to myself, but I'm a to-do lister too & it doesn't matter how much I have done, I always feel like I've fallen short of some standard that I'm making for myself! I'm glad you have become aware of this young, I know the Lord will get you there. Thanks for the courage to share something so personal. I think it will reach a lot of people. The Lord has pointed out to me that HE doesn't like how I talk to me, & it's changing. Found myself playfully chiding myself yesterday rather than calling myself names. He is so good! And He thinks we are so special-we need to keep His attitudes towards us & let go of our own. Thank you for sharing the gospel-God bless. Love your family.
You are so precious...thank you for sharing this message with us... Im guilty of being my own worst enemy...I definitely need to work on that.
Corie…I have struggled with this my entire life. In August 2002 I went to a therapist, once a week for 9 months. It’s by far the hardest thing I have ever done and the best thing I ever did for myself. I learned how to cope with these thoughts and also found out that I probably will struggle somewhat my whole life. I know how I got started on that vicious circle. So therefore, I now know how to better deal with it. I was just something that I could not pray my way out of. So between that therapist and studying His word daily…it changed my entire life. Blessings and best wishes to you and others who have this same issue. 🙏🏻💕
Lovely to meet you.
I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this today, and here you are.
I'm old enough to be your grandma but you had the words to touch my heart. Somedays, the ghosts long gone, the poor decisions, life's heartbreakers, all the goals I couldn't reach, the lives I should have...
coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Sending you love and blessings from Israel.
💙🇮🇱🙏
💕🙏
A lovely sweet message that the world needs to hear. Thank you ❤
Sharing these words helped me and I in turn shared them with some else. Thanks be to God.
As a believer I really enjoyed you opening your heart to us. I tend to over analyze things as well. I now take things day by day. I pray to God for guidance everyday and give him thanks. Great video.
You are a breath of sweet, sweet air. It brought tears to my eyes to hear your comforting, affirming words this morning. Thank you for the reminder that God has declared us his daughters and sons , joint heirs with Jesus. The world can be a very ugly place and for us to treat ourselves ugly on top of that is not smart. God bless you , Corie , as you listen to God’s voice in your heart and respond to his leading.
Well thanks to your Phillipians scripture I decided to go to church last week. It was a positive service. The pastor said not to think if your glass is half full or half empty, but to be thankful you have a glass. I like that form of side stepping. A girlfriend I asked once, how she stayed so bubbly and upbeat, and not disappointed or let down by family and friends, and she replied, I lowered my expectations to rock bottom, so everything seems like a bonus. I know life is not that simple, but it can be. Be thankful if you have a family, I have no one save my 3 little dogs. "Perfectionism is, when the time expended outweighs the benefit."
💕🙏
Oh Corie! You hit the nail (me) on the head! I've never felt I have done enough. Always felt I could do better, do more & be a better person. I've struggled so bad with talking down to myself since I've been disabled. I'm always telling myself I'm stupid, dumb, not good enough, useless, etc. Even my husband has asked me why I feel that way about myself. I'm 63 yrs old & here is a 25 yr old teaching me something important. God's love is everlasting. I love Psalms! You are amazing, sweetheart! I love you & Katie so very much! Y'all are so precious! Love & hugs to you & all the family from VA! 🙏📖🌺🤗🦋🌻
You have blessed a lot of people with this, myself included. I’m a lot older than you, and I’ve learned when I start walking down this path, I try to find at least one thing that I did right today. It might be just the fact that I did the dishes or told my husband that I love him. Then tomorrow I find two things an so on. When you start knocking the weeds down in this path, it’s easier to walk it. God bless you and yours. ❤️
Some days we have to be satisfied with the best we can be on that day. The Lord will guide you and trust in him.
We are bombarded with perfection, which is unattainable. You have some very lucky parents, to have children as wonderful, and talented as you. 😘
You are very beautiful and thoughtful person inside and out and your family is to.Have a blessed day
Well said! May your words help others.
Simple message from a true heart is much appreciated to this old man. Your value is only measured in God’s eyes.
Outstanding message. We must also give ourselves some grace & love ourselves, especially in today’s cruel world. God bless!!
Financially I don't get thing's done that I want to have done.
I've learned to except that my ability isn't the level of everyone around me.
So do what you can do and go at the pace you can do.
And balance your life with something fun that's completely just for you and no one else. Having fun is important.
Preach Sister. I'm sorry you've struggled with this issue. I myself had to turn and hit the rewind button in my mind. I'm a blood bought daughter of the most high. That's enough. He loves me unconditional. I'm enough. It is finished. He paid that price. I'm loved and that's enough. That was my self duologue for anytime the enemy encroached. Believe it till you feel it. Hit that rewind button. And put the promise of God on that tape. And who you are to him. Ya the enemy loves to mess and war in the battlefield of the mind. Capture every thought. Rebuke him with the word of God, and he will flee. God Bless You Cory. We all love and appreciate you very much 🙏🥰🤩
So beautiful seeing young folks sharing God's word...and making a stand for what they believe in. Great Job !!!
I AM enough!! ❤️
Thank you for this.
This house of Flesh is but a Prison, Bars of bone are holding my Soul. But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open when the Angel sets my spirit free.
Here is a verse that keeps me holding on through my lowest point
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31 (my favourite Bible verse)
God bless 🙏🏻✝️🕊️
I have found that I have said things to myself, about myself, that I would never dare say to another person. It easy to be gracious to others. It's difficult to internalize the fact that I am allowed to be gracious to myself. Hugs, hon.
Thanks girl . I am my own worst critic. I feel like I can always do more or could have done a better job. I was always pushed by my parents not in a negative way bit they wanted me to succeed . I was a Marine and that was the same way. I am now retired from that and work in the civilian sector and I am so mean to myself because i feel i need to make a difference in EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.
I needed to hear it.
God Bless
Sometimes (lots of times) it's lies of the enemy that gets us to beating ourselves up. It helps me to ask the Lord to help me take every thought captive,I cannot do it on my own. The verses were great! Keep these talks coming.
At the close of the day, “thank you Heavenly Father for helping me achieve what I wanted to do to day”
The mind of an overachiever never rests.
Thank you 🙏🏻 may God Bless You.
Thank you Cory for the reminder. In my late 70s I still am hard on myself. I always feel I could have been more productive in a day. I’m slower than I used to be and don’t get as much done in a day. Good to know others feel this way. You are wiser than your years. Many blessings to you and yours!
Just before my 87 year old dad passed away, my oldest brother asked him if he had any regrets. My dad was quiet for awhile but then replied, “no, I have no regrets. I made the best decision I could make at the time with the information that I had.”
After he passed, my mom passed two months later. I had been taking care of them due to cancer and congestive heart failure. I asked myself if I could have done something different and kept them with me a little longer. My husband reminded me that I had done the best I could with the information that I had at the time. That has been what I have clung to since their passing.
Be nice to “you.” 💗💗
So sorry to hear they passed, thanks for sharing that phrase, it helps me 💕
God put you in my path today! I needed to hear this so bad. I'm usually always worried that I've hurt someone and that's usually when I get down on myself!!! Yes, God knows every hair on our head and if we just ask He WILL help us!!!! He knows our heart and what we're thinking but I just think He wants us to talk to Him!!! Thank You!!!!
I come back to this every morning, to remind myself to be kind...to myself. Thank you Corie.💚
I want to say that it's very difficult when we just want to be the best at everything.
..❤❤
You said this very well...but God says you are enough...we all have very unique gifts from the Holy Spirit..yours is unique ❤
This is definitely something I struggle with, I get mad at myself and then get distracted and it leads to anger. So I will stop and adjust. ❤❤❤❤
Bless you ❤️
Put your friend’s number on speed dial and call them daily for positive talk while you are learning to talk positively to your self. Speaking from experience, after decades on the planet, this is exactly how to put the brakes on forming negative pathways!!!
Simply look at the comments from your subscribers! The result is always greater than the negative! You are precious to us! Love yourself as God loves you!
Yes it helps me. I am comparing myself. to others and feel not enough. God is great.He will help us
I NEEDED this SO much! I literally call myself Idiot OUTLOUD.. And in front of any one. Even my kids. I would NOT call anyone else that but often do myself. I have asked God myself and others "what is wrong with ME? Why am I excluded with especially with my sibling and their family.. All the family I have left other than my little household.. friends.. but Im the one that does and gives everything but the first one left out.. Something has to be wrong with me. I will find myself sitting alone in my house and then get SO ANGRY with myself because Im missing out on MY little family.. The one GOD gave me. I feel like a failure at it all. Could have done more, better, faster, had I do e more maybe they would want me around and I will have NOTHING left to give. Ugghh im done complaining. Thats not helping. But I am confused. So, I needed this!! So much. Praying for everyone else struggling.. May you find peace and fullness in your hearts and lives
My first thought (like one minute in) 'How on earth could this precious girl ever be mean to her sweet-self?!' (I go into mom-mode where you and sister are concerned, lol, just think y'all are close to perfect as it gets, sincerely do.) I always find something calm, good, edifying, funny or educational/inspiring in EVERY freakin' video y'all (and extended family) make. Never once thought something should be different. You got it right when you said people aren't walking around thinking like that. Indeed the devil wants to help us ruin our lives and wants to steal peace. Let's all of us never let him do that. 🙌🏼 💓 Thank you for this video! ETA: I want to say I think you and sister are (not just) sweet, but also strong (and all that goes w/that).
Thank you, Corie, for the Bible reading, I needed it.
Thank you for sharing and being real. I know you are happily married, but, still, the first few years of marriage are such a big transition that it can be stressful. Even GOOD change can be stressful. And stress can exacerbate our negative tendencies, like being critical of ourselves. Give yourself grace. Know that you are in the middle of a huge, wonderful change by going from a single woman living at home to being married. :)
I needed to hear this.
Dr Charles Stanley has videos on here that are so encouraging.
I believe one is titled about how to change your thoughts.
I personally felt like God wanted me to start my day hearing what you had to say.
Thank you for saying it.
Dr. Stanley has meant so very much to me over my life. He has a way of teaching the bible that really resonates with me and sinks into my memory. His videos on CZcams are great. I love both the full sermons and the daily devotional his channel sends out. I start my day with him each morning, and it's been wonderful.
@@1CathyHendrix exactly. And I don't want all the trash in the world in my head when I go to sleep so I need to listen to clean my thoughts sometimes.
🙏❤️
You've got it part right. It's a brain chemistry issue. I can swear by anxiety meds. I've been on them for years. They're not harsh. They're pretty painless. I promise you you're exhibiting symptoms of anxiety disorder. Your quality of life will drastically improve.
Im a believer and this is totally helpful to my 40 something self. Going to have my young teenager watch it as well. Both of yall would make such amazing mentors to young girls if ur not already doing that. The unplannedness (thats not a word) but thats so refreshing about yalls videos
I'm not a believer but it's also helpful to me as I stare down 50 coming fast. I look at where I am career-wise, with my daughter at 25 making the same mount that I do, and feel like I should have been more ambitious even though it's not my nature and I don't like corporate management culture. It's what's expected, especially of men. Then there's the honey-do list that grows ever larger with things on it stretching back years. Regrets can eat one alive
@@miconis123 ❤️🙏
I've had to learn that "I am enough" within the last few years of my life. Looking back on what I've done and how incredible my grown children are. Being aware that "You are enough" makes you wise dear young one. ✨️ 😊
Great Video Corie. As a Christian we will Experience battles between our old nature, which is our sinful nature and our New nature, which is the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Satan wants us to live a defeated Christian life, always questioning ourselves, feeling quilty at times like we are less than and should be a Better Person. God knows that we aren't perfect and won't be perfect until we are standing in His Presence! Our Faith in Jesus Christ is our Hope as He gives each of us His Peace that passes All Understanding as we share our Faith and help lead other's to this Truth along the way. God Bless You and Strengthen you in Your Daily Walk.❤
The Lord has been speaking Psalm 139 to me. Where He says I will hold your right hand. I have been working on breaking a habit in my life. It’s been a battle and I see I’ve been hard on myself. I have not said ugly words over myself. I’m just disappointed I haven’t broke it yet. Your words are encouraging to me. Thank you♥️
There’s no condemnation to those in Christ, enjoy the journey, none of us are perfect. God bless you 😁
Your right on This totally. Almost 60 and have been trough all of this!! You have to look to the lord are savior amen 🙏
The devil will steal your thunder. We all know that he can't create anything new, so he uses good in an evil way. I still think you have a calling in ministry. I truly enjoy your wisdom. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy 🙏 ❤
Thank you friend 🙏
Sister....yes indeed...yes indeed....God keep you,God Lead you,God bless you....from your brother in the Lord...Walter (from Ocala national forest,florida)
You remind me of myself describing what you are experiencing ! I had trouble being overwhelmed with almost everything . I had mood dis order,a roller coaster of anxiety & depression ! I didn't know what it was .I was a workaholic ,I worked full time job night shift and worked construction during the day ! When working,I didn't have time to stress over life .At work I knew what I had to do ! At home I would stress over what I needed to do first ,or how it should be done! To the point I couldn't get started on anything ,& I would just get more anxiety .I never liked myself and how is anyone else gonna like you if you dont like yourself. I got to the point one day I couldn't shut it off & I got help ,talked to a professional ! That day changed my life .At age 49 I was finally able to understand what was going on in my head !I knew as a kid I worried way way to much about everything ,stressed over things ,didn't like myself ,didn't know why. I felt better almost immediately with help,and have been without stress & depression for 16 years ! Thank you God ! Get some help kiddo ,I see in your eyes I think you might have more Going on inside your pretty head than you realize. There is no shame in seeing what is going on inside the head .I personally feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from me .I ve lived more in the last 16 years than the first 49 years without the dark clouds in my head. In my case I was born with the depression \ anxiety worry ,but in my early years you weren't allowed to admit any problems or you were weak ! That is all BS,and they know so much now about mood disorders & can help so many ways that it is a sin to not get help when it is available ! God Bless You kiddo ,I pray you find a peace inside .Don't be afraid to ask for help !
You are a very special person, you are full of Gods love and are very grateful. Our family loves you so much and we are blessed with all you share.
We all fall short in the eyes of God but it is Our doubt that beats us all up. You are such an insightful person and thank you for sharing so much.
Xoxo God Bless
Having a therapist to share you thoughts could be beneficial! It's fun to bounce ideas around outside of your mind. I love this, and it totally helped me and it gave me a lot more strength to keep on going! Thank you!
Blows me away when I read something in the bible that I have read many times before then at the appropriate time God reveals a meaning to it I had not ever considered before. Glad the same thing happens you also.
our lives as individuals and as a whole group we all are a tapestry intertwined into a beautiful picture. An artist will always second guess themselves, as we all do. In a tapestry there are all types of colors , just likes things we say and do. To create a masterpieace
Thank you Corie for being faithful and bring this to us! My husband and I are worship leaders at our church, my husband is very impressed with your guitar playin and likes watchin you and Katie play!
This was a very needed video for me! Thank you again for listening to Holy Spirit and bringin it to us! Love you sweet girl!!!❤️🙏🏻
All those thoughts are just your self giving you ideas for next time. It's how you interpret your thoughts to yourself. I have had the same issues. If I let my thoughts get away from me I won't be able to get anything done at all. So it's exactly like you're saying: be good to yourself and just remember that you may have done your best at that moment and maybe now you know that you are capable of doing more ore better.
Conroe your devotionals are great ! Please keep doing them when you're led to do so. You have a very special gift. You have wisdom at your age that I'm still working on in my 60s. Not just knowledge but wisdom. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that you don't put tomatoes in fruit salad.
God bless you and yours and thank you so much for what you are doing !
I recently read an article that was a great help to me in this area. I'm not sure if youtube will let me post the link for it so I will just put the title of it below:
"From Mother of Many to Movie Star Mom: Interview with Lisa Steege of Little Crew Studios"
If you search for that it should come up. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling in this area but especially for us girls when the urge to have things be perfect starts to encroach upon our hearts. Thank you, Corie, for sharing what God has laid on your heart, it is nice and refreshing to hear these good things in life, especially when the days are growing dark.
God bless you and yours!
We all need to seek peace in our own hearts and minds. Prayer helps to achieve this.
Doing our best includes taking care of ourselves. I have learned to take some time each day to do nothing, just relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Satan has many weapons he uses against us but the Holy Spirit is within us to restrain these weapons if we let him.
Philippians 4:8 Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report or virtue; Think on these.
I needed to hear this
God bless you...this was beautiful. This was the first devotional I have seen from you, and I too struggle with not thinking I am enough. I have lists a mile long, 2 kids, I homeschool, trying to homestead, and seeing beautiful gardens on yt inspires me, but I will be honest, I will compare myself and I feel like I fall short. What a bequtiful reminder that God knows us and loves us deeply. Such wisdom gives me hope in the future generations coming behind mine...Gen X. Love your channel, and your mom's too!!!
Great message, Corie! Thank you for sharing. We are often our own worst enemy, giving ourselves much less kindness & forgiveness than we do those we interact with on a daily basis. I too, am quite guilt of this. I believe this to be a learned behavior, and like yourself, I am determined to “unlearn “ this! I hope others will too.
Outstanding. As my momma used to say some people have a good raising and gather a lot of wisdom in life. That's you!
Thank you ❣️ You are a blessing ❣️ Romans 15:13.
Im so glad I found your channel. It was truly by accident watching fly fishing videos. I live in NC and come to the mountians to fly fish most weekends. I've taken my 18 year old daughter a couple times and it has been some of the best times in my life. Life leads us in certian directions. Thank you for all of them. I'm sitting at the fly tying desk making fake bugs and watching your video. I don't go to church but I believe. I pray and use fly fishing as my way to get closer to God. Glad he sent me in your direction.
God bless you, thank you for watching! 🙏💕🐟
Excellent message! I needed to hear this. God Bless
Hi Squirrelly Travler
Just love these girls.
Good to see you here.
Have a great weekend
God Bless you.
@@penny1454 Thank You for your kind reply. I love their channel too!💖
I can't say I relate to the topic you are speaking about because it's not something I experience, but I know there will be people seeing this video who are experiencing the same thing and will gain comfort in just knowing they aren't alone. And you are leading them in the right direction. All the answers are in God's word. Yes ALL of them. So as long as you stay in His word I know you'll be fine. God bless you!
You are such a wise young woman!! Thank you so much for this. I'm 59 years old and work in healthcare. The last 2 years have been unbelievably hard to deal with. I can't wait until I retire and don't have to do it anymore. But I go to work and try to find blessings in taking care of the sick. It's not always nice but sometimes there is that one patient that I feel like I helped for that day. And then I do it again the next day. I pray every day I go to work for God to help me get through. God bless you and your family. You are good enough, please keep making your videos!!
God bless you!
65 and I’m still reminded on a daily basis, “my grace is sufficient “
GOOD,BETTER, BEST NEVER LET IT
REST, TILL GOOD IS BETTER, AND
BETTER IS BEST.
Thank you for being transparent that’s so refreshing. I have been told many times that I’m really hard on myself even by doctors. A wise Godly woman told me that every time I do that I’m insulting THE creator who made me.
This video has spurred contemplation of myself at your young age because this sounds sooo familiar, I do recall being an everything or nothing kind of girl - if everything wasn't in place to get something done i would drop that and go to another it drove people nuts around me because i would make checklists /inventory supplies but when I felt overwhelmed i would second guess myself and feel useless! I dont think anyone noticed how I felt but they heard me growling at myself saying things like that takes real talent to mess up that big! You are right its the devil seeking to steal,kill,and destroy us at every turn even our peace of mind, abilities, forward motion towards HEAVEN always meets resistance! So just know you are going in right direction so cast out any spirit but the holy spirit in JESUS name. And embrace the release feel his refreshment and blessing.🌼
This was a beautiful video and I’m so grateful for your sincerity, courage and love in sharing it!
So glad you shared this!!!!
I am a 71yr old widow and recently I have been noticing the same feelings!!! Thank you so much for pointing us back to GOD’S WORD!
I intended to read Psalm 139 on my birthday this past week as I have done on my birthdays in the past! Alas! I had a doctor appointment that day and found out I have Bronchitis and didn’t read Ps. 139 or do other things I had thought I would that day. 😟 I agree with you that Satan has been stirring up negative thoughts and feelings lately and I don’t want to think like that. I hope I learn to truly “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 10:5)
And to remember EVERY DAY to put on THE WHOLE
ARMOR OF GOD!
(Ephesians 6:10-18)!
Thanks again for listening to The Holy Spirit and making this video! May GOD BLESS YOU as you listen to HIM!
HE used you to encourage me today!!!🥰
Oh, Ms. Corie, mah little sister in Chirst! I love your inspiration, insightfulness and your love. I feel that our Lord is so proud of you for expressing such wisdom and compassion for yourself and others. Thank you and bless you for sharing these words! ❤❤❤
I just finished a week of vacation and head back to work on Monday. I mostly spent the week canning and working at the house, which is rewarding, but hard work. I allowed myself a nap or two. I cherished moments spent with the grandkids. I’ve looked around and and seen so much work that still needs to be done, these thoughts pounded my mind today. Thank you for sharing this Scripture and reminding me that God knows me, and that I don’t need to beat myself up. ❤️
Oh my goodness sweet girl, you are wise…so wise beyond your years….you have touched on a subject that resonates within all of us….How brave and strong you are to open yourself up…to expose yourself so intimately; but you are helping so many in ways that you cannot begin to imagine, by sharing your thoughts and personal experience…..don’t ever doubt the good that you are doing here….be patient with yourself and let Him guide you….I believe that He is telling you that this is your purpose…..God bless you sweet Corie…💕💕💕💕🇨🇦🇨🇦
I am 65 years old and the age of 60 I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD.....I wish as a young person I would have been diagnosed because the main thing ADHD does is make you feel, Crazy-Lazy-Stupid and dumb.....I felt that way my whole life and after being diagnosed and found the right med, I feel reborn, I was not Lazy it was just that I could not focus on just one thing and I thought about them and did it in my head then was too exhausted to actually do it, just many things that ADHD plays tricks on ya, Depression and ADHD go hand in hand, I suffered my whole life with depression and since being medicated I am depression free, I do one thing at a time and I actually finish it.....The first thing I noticed after starting the meds is I was in bathroom brushing my hair and I thought WOW there was no rambling thoughts in my head, I was actually only thinking of my hair.....Before my head would be filled with one thought after another and laying in bed at night I would think about everything that had happened that day and also thought about the what if's of tomorrow.....The meds Slow me down and I can function now
Very interesting...I have never considered imagining another person out there verbalized my downfalls or shortcomings I place on myself. I'm rarely satisfied with a fully productive day because I strive to do way too much to start with! I am also my own worst critic. This has always come natural for me, but now I'm in my 50's and I get tired. I am beginning to learn my limitations and find myself talking to God a lot. Sometimes He MAKES me rest. The passage you gave is spot on. Thank you for this post. ♡
Your words filled me with the spirit ive been missing. Thank you. I tell my inner voice, Not today! Am I listening to you. When its real bad I dive into my music. Much love for your family.
