"I'll be your Saviour steadfast and true, I'll come to your Emotional Rescue". Who wrote those words, they are not from the Bible but maybe God likes to sing them haha!Pick a number from 1 to 150.
Read the 1st verse of the related Psalm (there are 150 of them).
There are many different feelings behind each one of the Psalms - love, isolation, guilt, faith, doubt, laughter, sorrow, hope, fear bordering on paranoia! Probably you have experienced all of them, sometimes all in one day with kids!
A very useful modern invention called emoticons helps express feelings in text language. I thought the kids in the Youth Group would know them all but surprisingly they didn't. No doubt they know a few not in the official list ; )
Someone once told me that when you become a Christian, the sky would seem more blue. Well yes it did but then Monday came : (
The fact is that to be human is to suffer our emotions.
Some people cope by "toughening up". Others break down. I think the only answer though to some of life's emotions is - take them to God.
As in the Psalms.
How would you text God right now?
