This is so important – we can’t compare trauma experiences, it is all valid. Even two people who go through the same trauma can react differently.
Now this is a metaphor I get.
When you don’t feel like praying that’s the time you should pray.
When you don’t feel like worshiping God that’s the time you should worship Him and praise Him.
When you don’t feel like thanking God that’s the time you should be thanking Him and being the most grateful.
You shouldn’t let your feeling be God over your life. You should be in charge of your feelings not your feelings in charge of you.
It’s doesn’t matter how you feel. Still open your bibles and encourage yourself in the Lord today and gain the knowledge of God you need to face this day.
Don’t live by your feelings because there temporary you can feel million ways everyday. Your feelings change all the time.
If there’s one thing that can lead you away from your potential and seeing the awesome plan God has for your life, it’s your emotions. Emotions are God-given, but too often, people allow their circumstances to dictate their emotions and thoughts instead of the Word of God.
When we allow our circumstances to dictate our emotions, when we are moved by what we see and experience, it opens the door for doubt and fear to come in. When we allow doubt and fear in, we become unstable. We are tossed back and forth.
Understand this key: the way you feel today has little to do with what God is actually doing in your life. He’s working behind the scenes whether you realize it or not! Don’t allow yourself to be tossed around by your emotions any longer. Instead, choose to be stable minded by focusing your thoughts on the Word of God. Stand strong in Him so you can confidently embrace the the good plan He has for you!
if you’re embarrassed by the person you were 5 years ago, good. bc it means you’ve grown. you’ve educated yourself and expanded your horizons. given half the chance, I’d deck 2011 me right in the face .
A feedback loop is,
‘the people an individual surrounds themselves with whom one can
