Sometimes my emotions fight to dominate my mind. However, all emotions and feelings are dealt with in the Bible. I thank God for His Truth to guide us to defeat the negative ones.
As I read Joshua 1:9, I noticed it spoke of two emotions I recently wrote about. It states, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go”
Discouragement clings like a leech when we feel like a failure, which is what I wrote about last week on my blog. The first part of the verse speaks of no fear, which I also blogged about last week. My blog shared
ways to handle feelings of failure while my post on how to fight fear was on my friend, Jennifer Slattery’s blog.
I soon learned I was preaching to myself when speaking of both failure and fear. After travelling to reservations in South Dakota over Memorial Day weekend, I was able to put into practice, my own advice. Same with returning home. It’s amazing how God prepares us in the strangest of ways. I pray what I learn can help others.
Please join me today over at Jennifer’s blog where I guest blogged last week on overcoming fear. I appreciated her invitation, and I appreciate your hopping over there to read. Check it (here).
