Emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming, like a storm inside us that we can't control. But these powerful feelings are part of the way God designed us, a beautiful gift meant for our good and His glory. In this series, we will explore how the Bible helps us grow in awareness of our emotions, guiding us to take them to God. Through faith in Jesus, we can enjoy the fullness of our emotions, understanding that He is with us in every joy, sorrow, fear, and hope. The Bible teaches us to accept our emotions, listen to the wisdom they bring, and express thankfulness to God for this incredible gift. By following God's directions for life through His Word, we learn to navigate our feelings and find peace and joy in Him.

Each lesson emphasizes that knowing Jesus is most important. Their relationship with God is the source of eternal life and help in hard times.
