It has become evident how people are struggling to get through life.
All of us are broken in some way. We all have issues that we battle. Some of these battles manifest in anger and outbursts of emotion. Yet, because we end up saying and doing things we regret, this reaction only makes the situation worse.
Emotions in communities are running high. How do we respond when we are emotional and stressed?
The best thing to do is nothing. Do not do or say anything. Walk away and deal with your heart and emotions.
The best way to handle challenges is through prayer.
When you ask God to help settle your emotions, you actually give God space to work in your heart. The Bible tells us that out of the heart the mouth speaks.
If you have prayed about the situation, God will give you perspective and strength to deal with the situation in the best possible way. Prayer is the key to handling any situation. ) Past. Graeme Willows is of the Life Church in Welkom.
