Avoid Being Led by Emotions; Be Led by God

Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32

We all have emotions and when accept Jesus, our emotions do not go away.  Some emotions are acceptable, but the ones mentioned in this passage are ones we need to avoid or get rid of when they arise.  Joy-filled believers try to find healthy ways to deal with these emotions (e.g. prayer, exercise, avoiding an immediate response).

Questions for further thought:
1. What negative emotions mentioned in the passage do you find the hardest to combat?
2. What ways have you tried in the past to help?  
​
Challenge: If currently experiencing a negative emotion, try one of the methods that helped you in the past.  Or, if you know someone experiencing a negative emotion, lovingly share ways that have helped you.
