I am a Bible first person. If you need a healing, check with the Bible first with “Verses healing.” If your emotions are killing you, check with the Bible first with “Verses _______ (fill in the blank with the emotion that is killing you).” If you want to increase in wisdom (We all should want that), check with the Bible first with “Verses wisdom.”
Matthew 6:33 ESV But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
If you want a great life… Seek “First the kingdom of God and his righteousness.”
Emotions
Negative emotions lead back to addiction. So, we must identify what emotion leads us back to addiction and fight it aggressively.
Secondly, Anger leads to addiction. Consider praying: “Father, take away my spirit of anger and fill me with a Spirit of love.” I have prayed this prayer a zillion times. It really helped. Anger increases satans control, and that leads to…
Consider praying: “Father, help me to repent instantly from anger.”
Thirdly, bitterness. Life has taken a left turn and we let bitterness take control. They said or did the wrong thing. If we choose to stay bitter we ruin our life. Staying bitter is the exact opposite of creating your own Garden of Eden. Fight bitterness as if it will steal your joy (it will).
Consider praying: “Father, help me to forgive and forget.”
Consider praying: “Father, take away my spirit of bitterness and fill me with Your love.”
Fourthly hopelessness. The Bible encourages us to always hope. The reason for this is because sometimes we can only see what we see. And when it is bad we lose hope. But Jesus sees you, in the future, when the Holy Spirit is fully in you. He sees the person who can take anything satan throws at them, and still is capable of doing His will.
Consider praying: “Father, help me to always hope.”
Finally, we look at the second half of the verse, “and give me life in your ways. Give me “life” means starting to live in God’s joy, glory, presence, and love. If you want to see a sharp increase in these, consider praying this prayer often: “Father, show me Your ways and help me to do Your will.”
Today, consider searching “Verses ______” (Fill in the blank with the top emotion that you struggle with). Then pick one verse, and one prayer so you can go to war repeatedly with that emotion.
Emotions dragged me back to my habit 1000 times. Then I quit. From now on I will fight negative emotions tooth and nail.
