100 Bible Verses About How You Are Feeling!

Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.

On this page, we talk about emotions and feelings from a Christian perspective. We warn against letting feelings outrank wisdom, we encourage you to guard your heart, and point you to Bible verses, practical advice, and related topics like anxiety, depression, anger, fear, loneliness, and stress.

What you’re feeling is very important to understand in order not to let your feelings outrank your intellect. Feelings – they can be both a blessing and a curse! They allow us to experience life’s highs and connect with others on a deep emotional level. But at times, they can seem overwhelming and beyond our control. It’s in those moments that we might forget to guard our hearts from the negativity of harmful influences. However, it doesn’t have to be this way! Remember what head coach John Wooden from UCLA said, “Consider the rights of others before your feelings and the feelings of others before your rights.”

Proverbs 29:11 Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.

Feeling and Emotions: Analogy of a Train?

Feelings are like the caboose, and wisdom is like the engine. People often get the two mixed up, letting their emotions run the train (their lives) instead of God’s wisdom, given to us in his word. ~ Bill Greguska.

How Do Feelings And Emotions Work?

Stop Wasting Time On These Five Time-Wasters!

1. Refrain From Comparing Yourself To Others.

When you compare yourself to others, it is like comparing your insides to someone else’s outward appearance, which, in most cases, you will end up on the short end of the stick. Stay in your lane and do your best. Appreciate the person God created you to be, with your strengths and weaknesses.

2. Resist Entertaining Regrets of The Past.

Like my brother Tom taught me years ago: if I did all I could to make the situation the best it could be, then turn the page and refuse to remain enslaved to remorse or bitterness. You can learn from the situation and then move on. You’ll be kept a prisoner in the memories if you don’t. Ask God to help you with letting the problem go.

3. Reflect On The Negative Comments Others Say To You.

Others say that before you reject negative comments, be sure they are untrue. Dismissing something true can be harmful and cause more problems. Please ensure that the critics’ claims are not valid. If what they say has any truth, reflect on the fact and apply it to your life to become a better person.

4. Redirect Unnecessary Drama Into Your Life.

People are people, and there will always be some drama in life. You want to avoid relationships if you don’t appreciate them.

Also, the other person becomes less supportive and uplifting rather than less toxic. I am not saying to dump them at the curb, but I am speaking to guard your heart and not let them drag you down emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. Sometimes we need to put others on the back burner for a while. People have their issues, but sometimes their problems can be too overwhelming, and they might need spiritual or professional help.

5. Realize True Happiness Comes From God.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have in the bank, or whether you have any, or what title you may have in the world. External accomplishments can be excellent, but you will never find true happiness if you allow it to depend on external affirmation. True happiness begins with a good relationship with Jesus Christ and knowing His will for your life and how to accomplish it.
