Taking Our Feelings to God
Sometimes we feel more emotional than other times. This happens for various reasons. Maybe we didn’t sleep well the night before, or we ate something that caused us to feel lethargic or grumpy. An occasional emotional day isn’t something to be too concerned about. However, there are times when we feel emotional because something upset us the day before and we didn’t resolve it. We often suppress our feelings and pretend we don’t have them, instead of dealing with them. People who avoid confrontation often live with their souls full of unresolved issues, and these situations need closure before emotional wholeness will come. If you feel unusually sad or like you’re carrying a heavy burden you don’t understand, ask God what’s wrong. It’s amazing what we can learn by simply asking Him for an answer and being willing to face any truth He might reveal about us or our behavior. God will show us anything we’ve done that’s affecting our emotions in a negative way, and He will provide us with the way to resolve it.
