Itās important to talk to God. But sometimes I find myself talking to everyone else. My emotions get out of control. I fuss or get upset, and I donāt go to him. I may talk to a friend. But it makes no sense. You would think I would talk to the Lord about it before anyone else. I think I don’t because I know he would help me to look at it differently, and sometimes I just want to stay mad. I need to learn how to manage my emotions better. God knows I at times fall [incredibly] short. Iām not happy about it. I wouldn’t say I suffer from depression. Iām a cheery person, for the most part. I almost always feel blessed. But sometimes I get triggered. Itās a part I donāt like about myself. I need to practice having more self-control. Itās one of the fruits of the spirit. There is only one person who was perfect. We are getting ready to celebrate his birthday.šš The Bible tells us: āHe will SAVE HIS PEOPLE from their sins’ (Matthew 1:21).
