So how does one gain back control? By giving up complete control, and not to your feelings, but to God.


You run to the foot of the Cross, fall flat on your face, confess your absolute need for Jesus, relinquish all control, and ask Him to transform your way of thinking, which in return will begin to change the way you feel. Will your selfish feelings go away, probably not, but they will begin to lessen as you trust God.


You have the choice every second to choose who you will allow to be in control, your feelings or the Holy Spirit.


It's not going to be easy, but it is possible and you are able to overcome them. Remember, one of Satan's greatest accomplishments is getting a stronghold on our weaknesses, and for some, our greatest weakness is our feelings.


When we wrap ourselves in God's truth, and I mean literally bathing ourselves in His Word, we will begin to see a change take place.


A very needed change!


We have to start believing God's promises and stop believing and listening to the world.


We also have to know the difference between the Holy Spirit's leading and teaching verse our feelings. Let God give you discernment in this area, pray for wisdom to know the difference.


If you struggle with your thoughts and feelings, start writing out and speaking God's promises over yourself and do it daily. Find an accountability partner who will pray for you, encourage you,  keep you accountable, and speak truth into you.
