How to Deal with How You Feel

Some emotions are like bombs. We think if we bury them, we’ll be safe — but eventually, they explode.

This week in our How to Deal With How You Feel series, we’re talking about fear and anger — two powerful emotions that often hide beneath the surface.

Fear asks, “Am I safe?” and anger often answers from a place of pain. Both can either push us away from God or toward Him.

“Do not fear, for I am with you.” — Isaiah 41:10
“In your anger, do not sin.” — Ephesians 4:26

Following Jesus does not eliminate our fears — but it does free us from them.
Following Jesus does not rid us of anger — but it redirects and redeems it.

Fear hides.
Anger hurts.
But Jesus heals.

This week, take a moment to:

  • Name it — Bring what you’ve buried into the light.

  • Reframe it — See it through the lens of grace.

  • Tame it — Surrender it to God’s authority.

  • Reclaim it — Let God use it for good.

  • Share it — Your story might set someone else free.

Because when we allow Jesus into the places we’ve buried our emotions, He doesn’t just defuse the bomb — He brings peace.
