I once walked through seasons where I was ruled by my feelings. In moments of uncertainty or struggle, my emotions dictated my choices, leaving me lost in disappointment, confusion, and even sin. I remember thinking that my worth and direction depended on how I felt, but that only led to pain. My emotions, unanchored and fleeting, kept me on a rollercoaster ride, far from peace. But God, in His grace, showed me that my feelings are not the foundation of my faith. His Word—unchanging, true, and powerful—holds me steady when everything around me feels uncertain.

When God says, “You’re loved,” even when you can’t feel it, remember Romans 8:39 “nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” His love is constant, not dependent on our emotions.

When God says, “He will never leave us and His presence is always near,” even when you can’t feel it, hold onto Hebrews 13:5 that says, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.” God’s presence is with us, whether you and I feel it or not.

When God says, “I’m forgiven for my many sins and free from condemnation,” even when you can’t feel it, trust Romans 8:1 “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” I praise the Lord today that your forgiveness, my forgiveness is based on His finished work, not our feelings.

I love how God says that “I can experience His peace,” even when I can’t feel it. It is in those moments I can rely on Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” His peace transcends feelings and guards our hearts through His truth.

In this season, you and I cannot afford to rely on our feelings—they can lead us astray—but lean on God’s Word, which is steadfast and true, guiding us to a place of unshakable peace.
