"We have taken a great step toward maturity when we trust God without relying on our feelings. It is more of a blessing when we believe without experiencing any emotion. While the first level of faith believes when our emotions are favorable, the second believes when all feelings are absent. And the third level transcends the two for it is faith that believes God and His Word when circumstances, emotions, appearances, people, and human reason all seem to urge something to the contrary."
And a similar quote by Amy Carmichael:
"If you would live in victory over the circumstances great and small that come to you each day. . . and if you want God's life and power to well up from the depths of your being. . . then you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt."I would very much recommend reading this article by Ashley Green.
