In the next several chapters, I’ll be addressing emotions that give us particular trouble, including anger, guilt, bitterness and resentment, depression, and discouragement. As you read, it is very important that you understand—and believe—that you can control these unpleasant emotions. If you don’t, these troubling emotions will end up controlling you and your life. The reason you can control them is because God has supplied you with what you need to do so. We cannot do anything without His help, but that is always available for anyone who will humble herself and ask for it.
