Do you ever wake up in the morning and not feel like a Christian(maybe cause of shame or guilt or just plain humanness lol) Or maybe you don’t want to spend time with God or in His word? These FEELINGS are normal BUT we have the power to overcome those feelings and not give into them. To put faith into action and not let our feelings win. Let’s talk about this. 


Some times I don’t want to workout but I know that I should or sometimes I just want to eat sugar and snacks all day but ultimately i know this isn’t beneficial to me and won’t give me the results I want in my mental or physical well being. 

The same is true for our spiritual health! We have to get in the same mindset we would have when taking care of our physical bodies. Not giving in to our flesh and eating a carton of cookies but instead eating one cookie and then going for a walk lol Not indulging in a huge bowl of ice cream every night because you ‘deserve it’ after a hard day but instead choosing some fruit and then maybe a bowl at the end of the week. 

Spiritually speaking not indulging in our laziness of not wanting to put the work into our relationship with God because we are tired or don’t feel like it but instead pushing through and reminding ourselves of the benefits of faith over feelings!


When I looked up ‘faith over feelings’ the google said this- "Faith over feelings" means prioritizing trust in God's word and promises over relying on one's fluctuating emotions.


Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 – "For we live by faith, not by sight."


  1. Feelings are real but not final. Emotions can be indicators but not decision-makers.- Emotions are unreliable.
  • Quote on blog I read- ‘So many people live their lives completely controlled by their feelings. Every decision, reaction, and even their identity is shaped by how they feel in the moment. The problem is, our feelings are unstable, unreliable, and often flat-out wrong. They’re not meant to be the compass guiding our lives’

2)Have to learn to TRUST God and his plan- let go and give God the reins

- God’s word is truth-

- The world will tell you to follow your heart, trust your gut, and live by your truth. But if your feelings are your guide, you’ll always be tossed around by whatever circumstance you face. One moment you’re happy and confident, and the next you’re overwhelmed by insecurity and doubt. That’s why feelings can’t be your foundation. God must be.

3) Speak truth over emotion. Use scripture to realign your heart when your feelings lie.

  • We, as women, are emotional creatures. Its a gift from God cause we are tender hearted and we love and care deeply. There are sooo many good things to this BUT it can also be a weakness if we let our emotions run wild. Lol 

4) Anchor in God's character. Faith grows as you rehearse & remember who God is, no onlyt what you feel.

  • Faith is a choice!
