Others have said this as well but I disagree. To deny one’s feeling is to deny a large part of one’s being. The goal is to rise above feelings, but to deny them...well, I think that’s a bit naive.

The point is not for a person to deny their feelings but to be cautious and even reject feelings they know go against the revealed Truth of God. I know God exists, but at times I have felt doubt. Which then do I give closer heed? My feelings or my knowledge. Faith is not just a burning in the bosom and the absence of faith is not a dryness of spirit.

The Word of God remains True no matter what my current feelings are. They may change God does not. So I will not let emotion take the lead. I will trust in Christ not my own weak self.
