Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my KZread channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!

hey, sis!! 💗 so today's question is what is one boundary you can set today to help you be more consistent with God today! For me: I putting a boundary around my mind & I am cutting out completely all reality TV. This is a conviction God has placed on my heart and something that I see the fruit of already!!

Praise God!!!! I know it’s God working in me. I too have given up TV as of recent and try to tune into faith base content when I can. I honestly and truly do not miss TV. Thank our Lord and Savior!!!!!!!! I’m trying to devote more time to God in place of TV. It was gradual, but oh so worth it!!!!!! Blessings upon His children🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

self-control is a HUGE one for me but i know that through Jesus all things are possible
Just felt called to share this, recently been going through a tough time financially and with my health. Been detached from God for quite some time now due to my circumstances and I used to be quite spiritual and pray a lot. Few nights ago, I got down on my knees and prayed for my health to get better and for me to stay consistent with eating healthy, prayed for my finances to improve, and to allow me to finally be able to secure an apartment of my own. Lord and behold I’ve been consistent with my diet/exercise and my health been getting better, moving into an apartment, and secured a good job to where I can finally survive on my own. I’ve been seeing a lot of your videos down my algorithm and subscribed. ❤

Hi sis❤️🇿🇦..the boundary I am setting today is not engaging in negative conversations, not engaging in conversations of complaining and talking trash about men. And that means I need to spend less time with my " friends" because whenever I'm with them we are always complaining and talking about how men are dogs etc and that just drains me and causing me to be so negative. I know God sees the best in each one of us and that's how I should be as a Christian. Complaining magnifies the problem, Worship magnifies God and declares him capable of solving the problem.❤️

I agree I struggled with that myself and honestly I set my boundaries with my friends and overtime as I did let them back into my life I was actually able to be a more positive influence and encourage them to shift perspectives on our spouses and potential suitors (for my single friends lol) so not only does it help you be more firm in your beliefs but when given time to hone in on it you can become a light for others

One boundary I'm setting today is not allowing my own negative thoughts to shape my perception of myself and my relationship with God and others.
the boundary ill be setting today is locking the office door behind me when sitting to have my time with Jesus in the mornings. with my current load of KZread videos to do and then being a mum and pregnant with the second, im quickly learning that things can look pretty ugly if I dont create those strict boundaries... thanks for the reminder sis!!!!

Consistent prayer & communication with God is key, even in the midst of our challenging seasons 🙏🏽... therefore we must set aside personal time to communicate with God daily with no distraction.
Had to run this video back and watch it a second time. This was sooooo good! All glory to God for the way he's using you to minister to your sisters, including myself. You really hit the nail on the head for alot of us this week. One thing I would like to add is that we have to find the fun in our consistent acts of faith. I truly believe the enemy tries to creep into our thoughts and convince us that this lifestyle is lame or colorless, and that's a huge LIE. So incorporate some fun into your routines. Whether it's a dance warm-up before you do your devotion, or starting your day with some music to get your energy higher, or even just incorporating God into the fun activities you do in life. Thanking him each day for the fun, the laughter you enjoyed that day, give God credit for the good/high moments of your life. Perspective is key. Thanks for your tips too, sis. Much needed! Enjoy your weekend. XO

A good boundary I’m gonna set is to fast daily, whether it’s from, food, my phone, music , or TV. Fast for some hours and spend that time with God, by praying or reading my bible.
Hey lovely lady, this was right on time because I had sat my boundaries this week at work to stay away from negative talk. God has told me to walk away and Pray for those people that always keep something going on. Thank you for this video it let’s me know I’m on the right track with God.🙏🏾
I’m beginning to start scheduling in my weeks for alone time, the more I spend time alone I can fill up and touch my college community. As a college student it’s hard to focus on God because friends are right next door. I find myself falling into sin when I don’t have a whole day to just spend with my father, and let him tell me who I am, and who I will be. Thank you for these tips I really needed them at this season in my walk! 🍁😌🧡
My boundary is on my mind. Not letting thoughts of inadequacy in to linger and produce fruit. I’m more than qualified and deserving of the blessings and love of my Father.
I think the 5th way to stay consistent with God for me is making it a duty to always read His word, regardless of whatever is going on with me. I try my best to not skip reading my Bible/devotional daily. Thank you so much Melody. This is my first time commenting on your channel since I started watching last month. I really love your videos. I always take notes and learn so much from you. God bless you ❤
I was uncuffed from secular music about a year ago. On very rare occasions, I will listen to old school r&b (like 90s) - and I’ll humor my kids sometimes and listen to the Descendants or Trolls soundtrack or something like that. But I pretty much primarily only listen to worship music - all genres. My girls like to listen to Kidz Bop but I’ve found a lot of those songs are wholly inappropriate for children to be singing (like I Can’t Feel My Face… why are we singing this???) so I don’t usually let them listen to that anymore either. Besides, they love worship music too! 😆
Sometimes I feel like I have to put boundaries on everything that makes me unique and then I struggle with feeling colorless.
I will allow myself to vent as much as I need but to God only! I will be putting a boundary around mouth.

"God will always correct but not condem" sooo powerful sis! 🤎 i love that!
My boundary would be on the healthy of my mind. Like the thoughts I allow and how that affects my feeling. I realised that God is not a feeling hence I cannot rely on feeling to validate where I stand with God. God loves me and has set me free. No more fear!
A boundary that I’m working on is prioritizing time throughout the week to meditate in God’s word. 🌸
I am setting up boundaries to not let anything get in the way of my devotional and praise time to God. I sometimes only get to pray in the morning when I wake and before I go to bed. I am making sure that I remember to pray and worship the Lord in between and setting up boundaries to not let me forget or let anything stand in between my worship time.
This video spoke to my soul. I’m in this season where God is saying to me as fast as I make him a priority is fine , I don’t have to get into a routine!
Hey Melody! I love your videos. They seem to always be something that I need. Thank you for that! To answer the question of what boundaries I can set to help be more consistent with God is I can be intentional about his word. I’m limiting myself to less tv and social media. That frees up time for me to seek him and learn more about who he is.

thank you for being here, sis!! & phew! Your boundary is very in alignment with mine - placing a boundary around my mind and the tv shows I consume!
One boundary that I can set that would help me to be more consistent with God is learning to let go. To TRULY let go and let God. As a relatively new born again Christian, my past habits of trying to control everything (and making myself anxious and worrisome) is a hard one to shake. I’ve gotten better at it, but I’m going through some things now that are really testing my ability to let go of the reigns (or at least stop trying to take the reigns) and it’s hard. I’ve entered into a phase of my life where I’ve been made to feel uncomfortable and I can’t figure out the origin of why; I have to assume it’s God. I’m just trying to navigate all the things I have going on and trying to learn to really put it all on his shoulders so that I can truly live by faith and not by sight. Please pray for me. Pray that I learn to truly trust God deeply and stop worrying so much. Pray for my strength. I have no doubt that God will get me through all that I’m dealing with right now, but I just need to know that someone cares. Thank you.
Dear sister, I discovered your channel a few days ago and I've been watching a lot of your videos. I just want to thank you for the great content and God bless you and your family ❤️ I'm 25 and currently struggling with singleness/ loneliness. When I was further away from the Lord it was really hard for me but now that I'm close again it's so much better! He is carrying my burdens. Hallelujah!

I definitely have felt that I’m not qualified or good enough to be used by God. I felt like you were speaking directly to me. Thank you for another amazing video. You are such an inspiration! ❤️ My boundary will be on food. I have been convicted about my relationship with food. I eat when I’m happy, sad, mad, frustrated…literally any overwhelming emotion. I’ve realized I should result to praying or seeking guidance. I just came off a 7-day fast from meat and it was amazing. A year ago or even a few months ago I know there is no way I would’ve even THOUGHT about fasting.
2 Corinthians 6:18 is exactly what God has been trying to tell me. That I need to give up the idea that I am not worthy of his love, and time. I truly believe that he brought me to your video. Thank you Melody. I needed to see this.
Bless you, Beautiful!! This is so necessary in our walk with God.. thank you!!

The self control and discipline is what I needed to hear. So many other things occupy my headspace even subconsciously and bringing that to attention is a good place to start…thank you❤
Start my day, no matter what time, with prayer of thanks and serenity prayer. I ask God to guide the remaining time in my day.
“Your relationship with God and time with him changes over time. You learn different aspects of God through different seasons in your life.” I really needed to hear that. ❤ thank you!
God is amazing! I watched your other video a month ago titled ‘You’re distracted sis, its time to make room to hear God.’ I knew it was for me because I was distracted and not spending enough time with God or in his word. a few weeks after I went on a 40 day Daniel fast. I’ve almost finished my fast and then I see this video, and it’s conformation. God Bless and thank you for allowing Him to use you.🥰
The boundary I will set is not interrupting my time with God to text anyone, but devote all my time and attention to Him in those moments because He is worthy and I believe it’s important to do so.
My daily routine is becoming a nonnegotiable unless God says so 🤸🏾♀️
A boundary I can set is to, prioritize my mornings and spending them with the Lord before beginning the rest of my day. They have been really good so far, it’s not something that is easy..but it’s something that has made a difference in my days already:)
After listening to this my mind immediately went to I Love Me Some Him by Toni Braxton. Call me crazy, but for me this ain't about some man it's about God! It hit differently then how I used to associate it.
One boundary I’ll set today is I will ignore the negative and follow God take up my cross and follow Jesus and God❤ God bless everyone God loves y’all as well as Jesus Christ
The boundary I can set today is to let God lead in my life and to stop engaging in meaningless conversations that are to put me down.
I enjoyed this topic! The boundary that I had to enforce was getting rid of all my social medias. It wasn’t healthy and it took away ALL of my attention from the Lord. At one point my screen time was so high I had to do a double take. Plus, I felt terrible after getting offline. I’d have a blessed day, but one of the mutuals would be posting depressing things and I couldn’t allow those things into my spirit anymore. It’s been months since I’ve been active in any social platform (besides YT) and I feel great! And I’ve started a few Bible challenges and went back to church so things have been looking up!
One boundary I am setting is cutting out the scroll- the scrolling on social media. I’ve noticed over the last couple months I’ve felt a pull from God to get off of social media and realign my focus ❤
Great lesson! One thing I will continue to do is set boundaries on my daily social media time. Before you know it an hour or two have passed of unproductive activity.
one boundary I can set today that would help me become more consistent with God is setting time when i wake up to read the Word of God, talk to Him and listen to Him.
I will commit to going to church every Sunday and Wednesday bible study for the rest of the year!
One change I can make is not trying to fit God in my schedule but instead trying to fit my schedule around God. I also shouldn't beat myself up when I fall short because I know that God wouldn't do that to me and he is a merciful and loving God, and through his son Jesus Christ I am saved, healed, and I have eternal life and salvation, AMEN!
My boundary is to not strive for the perfection I think I must have to come to God. From the perfect setting to mindset. I can go to God ANYTIME. Also, being on my phone, because a bible study is more worth than one to two hours of scrolling.
One boundary I’m setting is getting away from listening to R&B music. It seems simple but I feel God telling me that it is something that keeps causing me to fall into the same sin.
