Lord, help me get rid of negative emotions.
1. Refuse to be anxious about anything, knowing tt God is in control of your life when you ask him to be.
- we can find freedom from anxiety just by spending time with God (psalm 94:19) when you are anxious, it means you aren't trusting God to take care of you. But seek the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. (luke 12:29-31)
2. Refuse to be ruled by anger.
- when you allow anger to rule your thots and actions, it causes you to do or say things you will one day regret. An angry person upsets everyone ard them, n they make serious mistakes as a result.(ecclesiastes 7:9) Ask God to keep you free from anger so u can remain in the flow of all he has for you.
3. Refuse to be dissatisfied and always complaining.
- It's easy to constantly focus on negative n look for everything tt's wrong with ur life. But tt causes you to have constant unrest n u are never at peace. (philippians 4:11) in whatever state, be content. that kind of attitude takes faith. Faith to believe God is in control and he loves you. Faith to believe his timing is perfect.(hebrews 4:9)
4. Refuse to be envious of what other people have.
- When u focus on someone eles n what they have, instead of on the Lord n what he has for you, a convetous spirit comes to confuse you n make ur life miserable. (James 3:16) Don't allow urself to entertain thots like.. if only i had.... instead, focus on Jesus n his beauty, nature, help..(proverbs 14:30)
5. Refuse to allow depression to rule your life.
- Many pple live with depression without even realizing it because it feels so familiar. the wounding of ones' soul tt requires e healing touch of the Lord n the knowledge of e truth of God's word to set u free. (psalm 6:8-9) Feeling bad n hopeless because u don't see the way ard things tt bother u, can make u depressed. But God doesn't want u to live with those feelings. instead, pray to him to lift u out from it.. let the joy of the Lord rise in ur heart n chase away spirits of heaviness.
6. Refuse to be bitter about anything.
- when a root of bitterness takes hold of ur heart, it grows n cuts off e blessings of God. (acts 8:23) When u hv such thots such as, i can never forget what tt person did to me; i shld hv won e award instead of tt person.. then u hv bitterness growing in u. When we are bitter, we r hostile, resentful, hateful, or antagonistic toward someone/thing. (hebrews 12:15) pray to God to set u free.. tt will crowd out anything in ur heart tt is not of him.
7. Refuse to live with feelings of rejection.
- Many pple who hv felt rejected in their past for one reason or another live in fear of being rejected now n in e future. they expect to b rejected, so they read rejection into other pple's words n actions. this causes em to be hurt, afraid,angry or bitter. it makes em oversensitive to e comments n actions of others. it drives e people ard em crazy as e fear of rejection cause e very rejection they feared. if u hv ever felt tt way, rmb tt God has not rejected u. he accepted u be4 u even knew him. u can't make everyone love u but God loves u n he will give u favor with other pple.
8. Refuse to be hopeless about anything, no matter how hopeless it may seem.
- hopelessness is a slow killer n it will eventually affect ur health n soul. when u choose to put ur hope in the Lord, he will take ur hopelessness away. just as we can choose what to wear each day, we can choose to put our hope in the Lord.(proverbs 22:5)
9. Refuse to let fear rule over your life.
- some of these fears include the fear of dying, starving, failing, getting lost, being abandoned, the dark, people's opinions, n being rejected, just to name a few. God does not want us to live in fear. fear does not come from him but from e world. the enemy can make us afraid of everything n wear us down with fear of what could happen.(proverbs 29:25)- one of the common fear. God wants us to be free from all fear (1 john 4:18) the way you get perfected in his love is to draw close to him n let him fill you with his love. when u do, he will deliver u from all fear. (2 timothy 1:7)

Negative emotions reveal that we have doubt inside of us. If we completely trust God in our life, what do we have to be anxious about? each one of us is susceptible to having negative emotions at some time, so don't feel bad if you have them. But don't live with them either. Refuse to allow the ugliness of negative emotions to mar the beauty of the life God has for you.
Phillipians 4:6-7 (be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer...)
Matthew 11:28-30 (come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden...)
psalm 34:17-18 (the righteous cry out, and the Lord hears...)
