Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You!

I am reminded of an illustration she uses in the first part of the book talking about emotions and how messed up they can be. She talks about different sizes, shapes, and colors of shoe strings and how they are all knotted together. She further tells how you don't just straighten them out all at once, it is a process of untangling the strings, one-at-a-time. How clever! Our emotions do get all tangled and knotted, and we think we can just fix them all at once. Not so!

I pray that you will read this and realize, as I have, that God gave us emotions and we are to hand them over to Him and let him teach us how to manage them as he originally had planned.

Joyce Meyer is an amazing, annointed teacher whose casual style and relatability is so attractive.

This book, like all her teaching, is written as if you were sitting in the room with her having a chat. She tells it like it is and teachs from God's Word with principles to manage your emotions as Jesus did.

If you ever get depressed or angry or sad or frustrated when you don't want to - Joyce will set you straight and help you live a life controlled by the Spirit and not your emotions.
