Pressing On Through the Darkness

WINONA, MN – Sometimes, life throws challenges our way that leave us feeling down, discouraged, and defeated. But remember, your feelings don’t have the final say—God does.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:5, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” This verse reminds us that when we feel defeated, we need to take that thought captive and kick it to the curb. God is right there to lift us up. We must press on, trusting that His strength will carry us through.

Overcoming Negative Emotions

Negative feelings can be powerful, but they’re not permanent. They’re just a passing season. When we choose to focus on God’s goodness instead of our temporary feelings, we start to see things differently.

The enemy wants to keep us trapped in negativity, but God has already given us the victory. It’s time to rise above those emotions and declare that they will not control us. Instead, we will live in the joy and peace that God has promised.

Three Affirmations to Consider

  1. I am filled with God’s strength, and nothing can bring me down.
  2. My feelings may change, but God’s love for me remains constant.
  3. I choose to focus on God’s promises rather than my circumstances.

Trusting God’s Promises

The key to pressing past negative feelings is to trust in God’s promises. He didn’t bring you this far to leave you. Every day, remind yourself of His faithfulness. When negative thoughts try to creep in, counter them with God’s truth.

Speak life over your situation, knowing that God is working all things together for your good. Your best days are still ahead of you, so keep pressing forward with faith and determination.
