“But God’s presence in your life has nothing to do with your feelings. Your emotions are susceptible to all kinds of influences, so they are often unreliable. Sometimes the worst advice you can get is “Do what you feel.” Often what we feel is neither real nor right.

Whenever I start to feel anxious about a situation, I remind myself that fear is often False Evidence Appearing Real.”
