No matter how much we believe in God, it’s natural for humans to feel negative emotions, but surrendering them to God’s plan helps us find peace and overcome them.
““In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,”
Ephesians 4:26 NIV
No matter how much we believe in God, no matter how strong our willpower is, it’s totally normal for us humans to feel angry, sad, or other emotions. Like, it’s just part of being human.
But here’s the thing: how we deal with those emotions says a lot about who we are. We can either let them out as they are, or we can control them and channel them in a different direction. It’s like a test of our personality and maturity.
Now, if we try to completely control our emotions all on our own, we’re gonna end up bottling them up inside. And guess what? That’s gonna lead to stress and unleash a whole lot of power that we didn’t even know we had.
So, when those negative emotions like sadness, anger, or depression pop up, just hand ’em over to God. A lot of times, they come from our own ego. Like, when our expectations and plans don’t match up with reality or when we feel treated unfairly or disrespected, that’s when those negative feelings show up.
But here’s the trick: instead of getting stuck in those narrow-minded thoughts, zoom out and focus on the bigger picture. Think about God and His grand plan. Everything that happens around us, even the small stuff, is guided by God’s best plan.
When we let go and leave everything in God’s hands, even things that seemed super important or valuable to us might not be such a big deal in God’s eyes. We’ll realize that the cause of our anger or frustration isn’t as significant as we thought.
You see, there’s always a reason behind our negative emotions. But when we see them from God’s perspective, they lose their power over us, and we naturally find peace. It’s like we overcome all those emotions and live in the peace that God gives us!
