How to Control Your Emotions God’s Way

Are you an emotional yo-yo like me? Always up and down in your emotional state. Do you feel unable to control your emotions? I don’t like being so easily moved by my feelings. I used to see my emotionality as a curse. I also used to think that being sad or discouraged was a sin.

But my Lord showed me that was wrong thinking! 
It’s what I do with that emotion that determines whether I displease the Lord or not. 

We cannot change what we feel, but we can change what we do!

Once I understood this key I got excited! It propelled me to further investigate the principles of managing and controlling my emotions in a God-honoring way. Oh the secrets I have learned! My emotional shackles have been cut. And I must pass these freeing truths onto you.

Here’s an example of my success of having joy despite the presence of pain. 


Now just because I have had significant victory in Christ over my emotions, doesn’t mean I think I’ve arrived. I’ll always be an emotional yo-yo—that is my makeup. But although I may have occasional visits of negative feelings, I’ve learned not to live in that state of mind anymore. And so can you!
