Help for controlling my emotions?

Q: I REALLY struggle with relying and prioritizing my emotions. I take things emotionally and take them as an attack, and it’s incredibly hard for me to come out of my emotions when they’re negative. I know the Biblical answer is relying on God, not self. I know the Bible verses but I don’t know how to "apply" that. 

I know God gave me emotions for a reason and they’re not inherently bad, but when they control how we view things and interact with them, it’s an issue. How do I get control over my emotions and how they skew things in my head without just turning them off completely? He gave us emotions. 

A: Yes, God gave us emotions but they are to be lived out in righteousness, but because of the fall, and even if we are born again, we drag this sin stained body around and like Paul lament our sins. God has given the Redeemed the power and ability to live in righteousness by the new nature, and we are to kill, conquer & have victory over each and every one of them. We do it by the Holy Spirit, Scriptures, and the Fruit of the Spirit given at salvation. Self control is one part of it. And is that area we need to grow stronger in to conquer with confidence & determination. 

Here are some resources to help you conquer the sinful emotions. 

Here are more resources that can draw you under righteous living in God 🙂. You are right to notice that the church teachers & preachers fail/lack shepherding in these areas of helping us with righteous living. I hope these, I've compiled, really help you as they have for me. 🙂

Also this Resource for Growing Believers is a treasure trove to go through after the above resources😊

God bless
