Most of us were taught how to hide our emotions, not heal them. We downplay the anger, spiritualize the sadness, or stuff the fear and hope it all disappears. But buried feelings don’t die—they just come back disguised as burnout, resentment, or numbness.

God created our emotions, not to rule us—but to reveal us.

This isn’t about drowning in feelings or letting them run wild. It’s about learning to name, trace, and challenge what’s happening inside with honesty, humility, and hope.

Because transformation doesn’t come by pretending we’re okay. It comes by inviting Jesus into the mess, the memory, the moment.

So take a breath. Begin with a name: “I am feeling…”

That’s not weakness. That’s where healing starts.
