How to Glorify God When You Have Emotion?

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. How to Glorify God When You Have Emotion? Today's emotion is stress. We will all have stress in our lives from what I read in the bible it is not that you have this emotion but that you know how to use it and handle it. But if you look a the verse above it says don't worry about anything and yes that is true. but let's take a look at the verse I am talking about and unpack it.

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us—they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. Romans 5:3-4. In this verse, the writer is talking about problems and trials which cause stress is Good got us. It helps us to build the strength of character. Each time it happens God will use it for His glory and by that our faith is strengthened. but even though a healthy amount is good too much is bad and can turn into a negative emotion.

We stress for all kinds of reasons like getting to work on time or to church on time or am I going to get all that I need to do today. Yes, we can even spend time stressing about the devil and what he might try to do. We should not stress about that one at all because that battle belongs to the Lord. As I said in the bible it says we are to have some stress and that is good (A healthy amount). But what happens when stress becomes a negative emotion like I said above we are to pray like the verse I opened with says. We trust that God will help us after we pray.

With that last statement, I want to pause and say, when we release the negative amount of stress to God, we are not to give it and pray about it and then take it back, we are to fully give it to God. a lot of people pray for God to take something away but then take it back. it does not work that way. once you give it to God, let him have it because the battle belongs to Him.

So when we are to glorify God we are to have a healthy amount of stress and God wants us to have that because it builds character and that leads to our faith and hope being steady. so that is how we glorify God by going through these things. So don't stress too much and if you feel like you are pray to God and give it to Him. This is one of the emotions that can be good and negative like anger. So, use this emotion for good in your life not negative. Rejoicing in  God through the process like God says we should which in turn Glorifies Him.

Remember a negative emotion may come in the night joy comes in the morning.
