Emotional Strengthening: The Power and Importance of Emotions

Are you fed up with letting your emotions get the best of you? Do you struggle with managing your thoughts and emotions? Do you try to fight off mind-sets of fear, unworthiness, depression, or anxiety, but appear to always be on the loosing end of the battle?  Do you feel like learning how to control emotions would be an impossible struggle?   Fear not, "Nothing is impossible with God!" (Luke 1:37 NLT). When God created us in His image, that image included our emotions. God gives us all things to relish, and healthy emotions bring color and zest to our lives. His Word says, "God . . . richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (1 Tim. 6:17). We all have emotions. The greatest goals of every believer should be "Emotional Strength."    This is a four part series: (1)“The Power and Importance of Emotions,” (2) “Rewriting Your Emotional Script,” (3)“Managing Your Emotions,” and (4)“Emotionally Healthy Spirituality - Your Emotional Experience.” With God’s help, you can ultimately learn ways to control your motions, and stop letting them control you.
