What techniques do you use...

What techniques do you use to reconcile things when what you
know as fact does NOT fit your emotions?

[/quote]One common one I see a lot is that we are alone when we

Another common one is that I (self) has no value...
Another common one is that we have an award waiting for us that
is greater than the rewards we see others living in right
now....

[/quote]Yeah, I feel like I haven't much value. I also feel
alone, lonely and desperate for God's love. I feel "needy" of
the Lord but I don't often pray for myself. I also don't expect
any rewards as far as extra rewards go. I'm content to be in
heaven with the Lord for eternity, that's more than enough for
me.

So maybe at least part of the answer is to pray not only for
ourselves to understand who we are in Christ (and study it in
scripture) but to pray for each other in the body to be able to
see who they are in Christ as well showing them every chance we
get.

In addition to what has already been said, I just want to say
that it seems there are people who care more about emotions than
facts and we see that in the world today. For example, I know
that I'm a woman and not a man. That's a fact. No matter if my
emotions would lead me to want to believe otherwise, there's no
changing the facts about that. That's never been a problem for
me because I know exactly who I am. But there are people who
because of their emotions want to believe that even though they
are a man, they want to believe they are a woman. Likewise there
are women who even though they are a woman want to believe they
are a man because of emotions and not facts. And they expect
everybody else to accept and believe who and what they believe
they are even though it's not based on facts but emotions. So
since it's not based on facts, I won't be accepting and
believing that about them. Especially since scripture is quite
clear about this and has the final say on the matter.

[/quote]Very good point and I was also thinking about people who
view their theology the same way...rather than looking at facts,
they are content to hold to what their emotions tell them.
Another big one I see a lot is fear. So maybe sometimes it is
good to remind ourselves and others we might be ministering to
what the facts tell us.

[/quote]I should clarify, by adding that this is only sometimes
and these feeling, thoughts and emotions I expressed feeling are
only in my weak moments and transgressions.

That is okay, we can still pray for you and encourage you.
Actually a lot of people suffer with feeling worthless, I fall
prey to it at times again, especially when I am low but that
doesn't mean we can't build one another up when we have a chance
and remind each other who we are in Christ. I remember posting
a list of who we are in Christ...feel free to print that list
and post it where you can see it everyday, as a reaffirming of
who you are.

I felt worthless for many years. That might have something to do
with being abandoned by my parents and being thrown to the
wolves at a young age. I don't feel worthless anymore. I know
that God loves me. I feel blessed in many ways and I'm thankful.
Psalm 27:10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD
will receive me.
Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the
future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love
of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
