Emotions / Dryness

Went to meet Wilfred for pool then dinner at 800 plus and to TM arcade and finally to LAN SHOP (beside subway ) for L4D. Spent lotsa unnecessary money though.

3 Ways of Handling our Emotions.


1) Religious people might tell you to stuff your feelings.
2) Secular people might tell us to vent in all out.
3) HE tells us to pray our emotions.

Prayer is about our heart touching HIS heart.
  • During times of spiritual dryness , we will feel abandoned by HIM but we're NOT !
  • YAHWEH experienced ultimate dryness/detachment when he was on the cross so that we will never be abandoned eternally if we put our faith in him.
  • Live by faith and not by sight.
  • Dry times will grow us deeper and stronger with unshakable faith and commited love.
  • We have all that we need in HIM.

[Psalm 42:5 , 7] Stop our heart talking and listen.
  • When we are stressed about something negative someone else said, we should reconsider and realise it's what HE says that really matters.
  • When we are affected by economy, we should realise HE is our provider.
  • When we are affected by relationship , look at the friendship we have with HIM.
  • All that we need is in him , look to Him. Remind ourself of His Love.
  • We have all that we need in HIM.
Take time to periodically to allow our lives to be evaluated before Him.
Let Him recalibrate our hearts in prayer.
