Okay guys, I haven't done a Bible break in a very long time, and I'm sorry.
31
I'm very disappointed that I haven't done that because I realized how important it is for me to share God's word, especially on something that I post on kind of frequently, and I want to share his word with all the opportunities I get, so I'm going to start doing them again.
32
The main idea of this whole thing that I feel like God led me to talk about is just making sure we're not disregarding God's plan that he has for us.
33
When we're facing problems we may instantly go to stress or like our own plan that sort of thing and just how we think about it and what we can do because we think maybe we know best.
34
That's kind of how I think sometimes.
35
I just go to stressing and worrying when in reality I should be giving it to God.
36
Everyone experiences stress at some time.
37
We may disregard the fact that he's the creator of everything and he has a plan for everything no matter what we may let that kind of fly over our head sometimes when we
38
hear that God always has a plan but it's so true there's no point in stressing over things when you can just give it to God and know that he's gonna make it work because we've all
39
dealt with things in the past and I mean we're here now you're watching this and it just shows that he got you through it and he will continue to do that and you just have to remember
40
that and just know that he's there for you and he loves you and he's going to continue to be there for you just you have to be willing to give that
41
to him Proverbs 3 5 through 6 trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not into thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge him and he
42
shall direct thy path you have to truly give him your trust and believe that he is there for you i know that god does have a plan for you he always has and he always
43
will he's the creator he has a plan for all of us including you so don't stress about it just give it to god he will guide you don't lean on your own understanding give it to god he knows best his plan is greater than ours thank you i'm going to try to do these in all my videos because it's important to me so yeah

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
