Feelings [ 2 Corinthians 4 v 7 - 18 ]

It would be nice to say that one always has nice feelings, but the fact of the matter is we dont, one day we may be up the next we may be down. There are different reasons why our feelings alter, circumstanses,tiredness, what I think is important in relation to our feelings , is that we dont let our feelings rule us, for if they do they can so easily ruin us. How is it possible for us to know victory over negative feelings? is it possible?, to some extent it is, we may not always succeed, but I believe there can be victory for us. The Psalmist in Psalm 42, and 43, feels depressed, /Why am I discouraged?Why is my heart so sad?, Now I am deeply discouraged/, this is how he feels, what can he do?,well he does two things,[ 1] he hopes in God, [ 2 ]he praises God, this what we must do if we are going to know victory. [ Father we thank You that our relationship is not depending on our feelings, and we thank You that we can know victory over our feelings, through hope in You and praising You, help us to do this, we ask this in Jesus name Amen ]
