Confront Your Feelings
You may think we did this yesterday, not quite. We owned our feelings. Consider this example – I own a car. I say, “I own that midnight blue Rav4.” Confronting my car is like saying, I own it and it seems low on gas, what am I going to do about that? Maybe you did the assignment yesterday and it was overwhelming. Maybe you finally own that you are anxious, angry, or depressed, now what? Now we confront those feelings. Confronting our feelings means we are the boss of them. We don’t have to be ruled by them just because we acknowledge them. We don’t have to let them lead us into sin or moral decay. Just because we realize we are angry with our spouse doesn’t necessarily mean we need to get a divorce (I’m not talking about abusive situations here, that’s different). Consider this excerpt from “5 Ways to Win Spiritual Battles in Your Emotions”:

“Satan often attacks Christians through our emotions. We can be thinking with correct beliefs, yet still fall victim to evil through feelings that tempt us to sin: lust, anger, fear, jealousy, discouragement, etc. Sometimes we discount the importance of paying attention to our emotions day by day, thinking that the right convictions should be enough to strengthen us against evil. Yet, when attacks come into our lives, they often enter by way of our emotions.”

Before you think I have changed my mind about acknowledging, feeling, and owning our emotions, remember if we stuff our emotions, it can have a negative impact on our health. Those three steps of acknowledging, feeling, and owing are important in spiritual warfare. You can confront your emotions by looking up and copying scriptures about them. Yep. We need the word to win the war over acting on our negative emotions. Your assignment today is to write down one negative emotion you feel on a regular basis. Then using a concordance, look up a verse on that emotion/feeling. Copy it down. Read it to yourself when you are struggling with confronting your emotions. Here’s an example:
I feel anxious a lot.
After the feeling, write down a scripture to combat it, such as:

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

– Philippians 4: 6-7
