I pray that honor would be a focus for your heart . I know when low feelings come it is hard to think of anything other than low feelings because they feel painful. I hear you in that.
Honor can be a choice though - regardless of feeling.
To honor is to state value on a thing - by choice.
Choosing to honor a thing or a person or God Himself is a choice you are able to make.
You still have choice. The pain may trick you and make you 'feel' as if you have no choice .
I had a miraculous thing happen once . I was utterly depressed, could barely walk - walking was actually painful - it was an awful time. I remember i was walking home from work and i just didn't have the strength to make that walk from the train station.
I was crying and desperate .
I think it must have been God Who put the idea in my head , because naturally I had no power to think much.
I had nowhere to go with all that pain and I needed something - I also needed to find a way of getting home and walking was actually hurting me , no strength.
It occurred to my mind to thank God.
I felt at the time I had very little I could thank Him for , such a lot of things were happening....so I thanked him for my legs - that they were able to still go one in front of the other, I thanked him for my coat that was keeping me warm, I thanked him for my ability to eat and digest food etc I was mindful of some other people who really suffer with IBS etc, I thanked Him for my liver cleansing my body and working faithfully even when I don't even now it's going on ...I thanked Him and gave value to / honored my body towards God.
I had a miracle happen. I got to my front door ....I had gotten home...I hadn't noticed...and furthermore ...I was actually laughing - it was a joy that came supernaturally - it wasn't that I was laughing at something or trying to be happy ...I was given joy.
It came in the honoring thanking - making that choice - even tho I had deep debilitating depression.
I then found out that what had happened to me was biblical - have a look at this :
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3
There is strength in honoring that is beyond the natural . It is a choice in spite of feelings - it is not a denying of feelings at all...its a choice in spite of feelings...and my goodness...I was transformed ...it was miraculous.
Just thought I mention it since how you describe your feelings...It sounds so very similar to what I went through back then...and this was revealed ...a way through ..that I had never known was available , provision from God .
