There are seemingly countless phobias that affect millions of people worldwide. There are constantly fear and anxiety-inducing situations many of us deal with on a regular basis. Then we read scriptures that say "do not fear" and "don't be afraid," and we feel guilty because we actually are afraid. So is it wrong to feel anxious? Is it wrong to feel fear? And what do I do when it seems like, instead of conquering my fear, my fear is conquering me?
Anger. Fear. Joy. Sadness. We all have different feelings that we deal with on a daily basis. God has given us the gift of emotions to help us process and react to things that we experience. Sometimes we have a healthy emotional response to certain situations, and sometimes our emotions get the best of us. For the next few weeks at Flagstone we are going to discover how to get a better handle on our emotions and use them for God’s purposes.
