Human emotions

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,

But a good word makes it glad.” (Prov. 12:25)

Emotions are a part of human nature

Emotions are usually a good thing for most. But for many people their emotions get out of control and are expressed in the form of anger, extreme sadness, emotional outbursts, or as anxiety attacks (fear on steroids).This causes much trouble and sorrow and is at the root of many personal struggles.

The Bible says

 “A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back” (Proverbs 29:11).

 “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7).

There is hope in Christ

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Therefore

“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)

“Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
