Your Question:
What do i do with my emotions?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've come to understand that emotions are a vital part of our human experience. However, it's essential to recognize that our emotions don't define us. We must learn to take our emotions to God and ask Him to help us navigate them. The Bible teaches us to trust in God's sovereignty, even when our emotions are in turmoil. In Luke 21:19, it says, "Stand firm, and you will win life." This verse reminds us to possess our souls and trust in God, regardless of how we're feeling. When it comes to managing our emotions, it's crucial to examine their source and consequences. As the Bible says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9). Our emotions can be a reflection of our heart's condition. If we're experiencing negative emotions like anger, fear, or depression, it's essential to ask God to search us and reveal the root cause of these feelings. By doing so, we can begin to understand what our emotions are saying and how to respond to them in a way that honors God. Ultimately, our emotions should not control us. Rather, we should seek to control them by surrendering to God's will. As the Bible says, "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts" (Jeremiah 31:33). By submitting to God's guidance, we can learn to manage our emotions in a way that brings glory to Him. This doesn't mean we'll never experience difficult emotions, but it does mean we can trust God to help us navigate them and find peace in the midst of turmoil.
