I do not need to feel better.
No one does.
How any of us feel all depends on who we trust in, not what we do with our feelings.
No wonder so many of us do not grow in our lives.
We spend more time trying to feel better, rather than seeking a greater recognition of the Truth, and the Truth is found in a Person: Jesus!
Think about the issue from this perspective.
If a child is struggling to read or do math, it would be a very poor teacher indeed who seeks to succor a child's frustration with candy or treats, when the child is angry because he or she cannot accomplish a skill.
Teachers are called on to teach students, not placate their feelings.
In the same manner, good parents should not seek to remove their children's frustrations and discomforts, but rather point them to the very person whose answers can more than fulfill every need: Jesus!
How many of us are still convinced that the life we live, we live in our own strength?
To the degree that we still trust in ourselves rather than rest in His life, to that degree men and women run to programs and gurus for help on living, when Life Himself is present within every believer/
We do not need to fix our feelings, but rather our hearts on Him who has been from the beginning.
We need to understand the truth, and the truth then sets us free, including our feelings.
