Faith Over Feelings: Believing Beyond Emotion

Faith Over Feelings: Believing Beyond Emotion

Let’s be real: there are days when you don’t feel God’s love. You don’t feel like praying. You don’t feel like trusting. But faith was never meant to follow feelings—it’s meant to lead them.

I used to think something was wrong with me when I didn’t feel close to God. But the truth is, feelings fluctuate. Faith remains.

Feelings Lie. God Doesn’t.

Feelings are real—but they’re not always right. You can feel abandoned and still be held. You can feel afraid and still be protected.

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane felt sorrowful and troubled—yet He still obeyed. Faith over feelings means we follow truth even when it’s hard.

How to Walk in Faith, Not Emotion

Affirm God’s Word Daily
Repeat His promises, even when they don’t feel true. Especially then.

Guard Your Inputs
What you watch, listen to, and dwell on shapes your feelings.

Let Faith Speak First
Before fear, before doubt, before your past—let faith set the tone.

The Power of Decision

Choosing faith is powerful. It means trusting God when the storm is loud and the emotions are louder. It means saying, “I believe,” even when you don’t yet feel it.

“We walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
