Acknowledge your feelings
In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.
- Ephesians 4:26-27
What do you do when you feel sad or irritated? Some people deny their feelings. Others hold on to resentment, and there are even those who lash out and hurt the people closest to them. However, the Bible teaches us to acknowledge what we feel and face the problem without sinning. Tell God what you feel and release forgiveness. That is the first step toward overcoming pain.
The book of Psalms can serve as a guide for us in this. The psalmists expressed all kinds of emotions before God, from the deepest joy to sorrow, anger, and uncertainty. In Psalm 6, for example, we find the following emotions expressed before God:
Impatience:
My soul is in deep anguish.
How long, Lord, how long?
Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.
- Psalm 6:3-4
Deep sorrow:
I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
- Psalm 6:6
Faith and hope:
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
- Psalm 6:9-10

Yesterday's Word
God strengthens the tired and discouraged!
Many things weaken us: problems, fatigue, sadness, stress... But in God, we find strength. God gives us rest and relief even in the most difficult situations.
When we are weak and can't bear it anymore, we can renew our strength in Jesus. God's love gives us supernatural strength to continue the journey and overcome. God is our strength, and He never abandons us!
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Psalms 73:26
In the journey of life, we face challenges that can shake our body and heart. Psalm 73:26 comforts us with the truth that, although our body and heart may fail, God remains unshaken as the foundation of our being. In moments of weariness, uncertainties, and adversities, we find refuge in the certainty that He constantly renews our strength.
God not only sustains us in difficult times but also reveals Himself as our eternal inheritance. He is the portion that fills our existence, offering a love that transcends earthly limitations. Our journey may be challenging, but God's promise is the anchor that keeps us steadfast.
So, we should not be discouraged by our hardships, for we have in God an inexhaustible source of courage and comfort. Whatever difficulties we face, He is the light that illuminates our paths and the strength that sustains our hearts. May Psalm 73:26 be a constant reminder that in God, we find true strength and an inheritance that endures forever.
Find strength in God right now!

Submit to God and overcome temptation
When temptation is strong, the advice the Bible gives us is to flee.
Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
- 2 Timothy 2:22
Acknowledging your weakness and removing yourself from a dangerous situation is not something to be ashamed of; it is a sign of wisdom. This is especially important when facing sexual temptation or other challenges that may seem too strong to resist. Avoid situations where you know you will be tempted. Submit to God, and you will see how He helps you overcome your struggle against sin.
To overcome, you must keep your spirit strong in the Lord. Though our flesh may be weak, if we keep our spirit firm and filled with God’s presence, we can face temptation because we are not alone: the strength that comes from God will work in us.
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
- Matthew 26:41
There is a reward for those who persevere and remain steadfast in the midst of temptation. Submit to God and conquer in His name for His glory.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- James 1:12
