Managing Our Emotions, Part 1 - Introduction

Have you ever had to go through a time in your life when you felt like your emotions controlled you? Or are you there today?

Emotions are a very natural part of everyday life. If used in the right way - a Christian way - they can be huge blessings from God. The problem is that we sometimes use our emotions as an excuse for sinful behavior. By acting out these self-centered emotions, they ultimately start to mold us into self-centered Christians.

There are three main areas that I believe we as young single women constantly struggle with:

1. Wallowing in self-pity


2. Harboring bitterness and anger


3. Cultivating inappropriate romantic feelings and desires

One of the ways that we will combat these destructive emotions is by looking at examples of some statements that your average, everyday young woman might express when feeling overwhelmed by these areas. We will then learn to combat these statements with "solution statements" and accompany them with Bible verses.

I'm so excited about this study! Hopefully it will help you in your life as much as it has helped me. But in the meantime...

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsover things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." -Phil. 4:8
