The ability to express good emotions is a beautiful gift from God but as with every other thing that exists under the face of the earth, we have bad emotions as humans. So how do you navigate this phase when it comes?
One of the ways the devil gets to us is through bad options. He pushes us to react violently and most times in resignation, submitting to his will when these emotions become overbearing. This is why it is important as God's children to learn how to manage overbearing emotions.
In this episode, I shared tips on how we can loosen the grip that emotions have over our lives.
- Anchor yourself in the truth
The entirety of God's word is centered on the truth and God's word is unchanging. One of the best ways of overcoming emotions is trusting God and his world instead of the emotions you feel at a certain point because they cloud our sense of reasoning and deceive us into trusting them.
- Do not avoid or ignore your emotions
Sonmanubelicers adopt the ostrich method of burying their heads in the same way when they get overwhelmed with bad emotions. Do you know that when you fail to put out the fire on your candlestick, it burns out, gets melted, and slowly burns your table cloth and eventually, the entire building is engulfed in flames?
This is what happens when we try to bottle or ignore our emotions. It's better to feel and express them with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
- Use Discernment
As Christians, we have been called to apply the gift of the Holy Spirit and move through everything with discernment. Taking a step back to process what we feel and asking God for wisdom are one of the ways to use discernment.
