When I encounter difficult emotions, I find it best to step back, pray about them, and reach out to someone I can talk with about them. All problems have solutions, but the thing that is so important is who and where we get our answers. Our best direction out of complex emotions is to ask God, “What do you want me to do?” ~ Bill Greguska

Going Through Difficult Emotions, Reach Out To God!

Better Ways To Deal With Difficult Emotions!

Difficult emotions shared are divided. Joy shared becomes multiplied!

Have we all gone through our share of complicated emotions in the past or even today?  You do not have to do life all by yourself. I have learned, and I firmly believe what it says:

Leaning on God in the hard times is as essential as depending on God during the better days. I have found that prayer keeps me close to the Lord and comforts me while giving me hope and direction when sometimes life seems very painful. Difficult emotions come to us without much warning sometimes. That is why we need to walk close to God every day, not just the dog days of life!

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Handling Difficult Emotions In A Better Way!

Some Specific Scriptures To Encourage You:

James 1:19-20 ESV 

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Colossians 3:8 ESV 

But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Proverbs 16:32 ESV

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Proverbs 15:1 ESV

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

1 John 1:9 ESV 

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

2 Timothy 3:16 ESV 

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Colossians 3:1-25 ESV

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 

Philippians 2:3 ESV 

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Ephesians 6:12 ESV

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Galatians 5:22 ESV 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Galatians 5:19-21 ESV

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:1-26 ESV 

For freedom, Christ has set us free; stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.

Romans 12:21 ESV

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:19 ESV

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

Ecclesiastes 7:9 ESV 

Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.

Proverbs 19:11 ESV 

Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

Proverbs 15:18 ESV 

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

Proverbs 14:29 ESV 

Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

Revelation 21:4 ESV 

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
