EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Often times living with anxiety, depression, fear, and hopelessness can be a way of life for many, my heart breaks as I see and hear about it all around me.
When one comes to know the Lord, one can start living God’s way. Yes, It’s possible to live without negative emotions and live for God. God is with you to help you when you call on His name. We can resist negative emotions by praying, knowing the truth, and understanding what God’s Word says about us.
Here are some ways that may help those who are suffering from negativity.
*refuse to be anxious
 John 16:33, psalm 94:19
*refuse to be ruled by anger.
Prov. 29:22  Eph. 4:26-27
*refuse to be dissatisfied
Phil.4:11-13
*refuse to be envious
James 3:16-17
*refuse to be depressed
Psalm 119:28
*refuse to be bitter
Acts 8:23 Hebrews12:15
*refuse to be hopeless
Prov. 22:5
Negative emotions reveal doubt.  Don’t feel bad about having them, but don’t settle to living with them either. Refuse to allow the ugliness of negative emotions to mar the beauty of the life God has for you. God wants to share His joy with you because it will be your strength!
