Bible Answer: Hello veund stokes, Welcome to the Forum and thanks for sharing your struggles. I'll assume you're a believer who has placed their faith in the Lord. Here is an observation I'll offer. As Christians, it's not what we feel or don't feel that counts! Feelings are subjective and not a valid gauge of our walk. It is what the Truth of God's Word says that matters! (John. 17:17). Here are a few scriptures for you to meditiate on and pray about: 1. Faith- "for we walk by faith, not by sight...: (2 Cor. 5:7) 2. Wisdom- "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5) 3. Anxiety- "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." (Phil. 4:6) 4. Forgiveness- "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" (Eph 1:7) Lastly, realize that the Bible doesn't talk about "our breakthroughs". 1 Cor. 15:57 tells us, "but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Our victory and confidence is 'through our Lord Jesus Christ'! Our faith is founded upon fact, not feelings. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
