Building Emotional Resilience Unto The Lord, lesson 185 seminary
How well do I respond to emotionally challenging situtaion? Not well. This has always been my struggle. I think I know m triggers. I work efficiently and my every minute counts, so I struggle with my family, mostly the kids, who do not make their time useful.
I think I communicate my expectations to my family a lot, maybe some hint dropping here and there that are ignored and just drives me nuts.
This year's goal is to be cheerful. Be Intentional about it. I am gratefull in all things. I know the Lord can help me here but I need to recruit my own family to support me and help me recognize my triggers so I can avoid emotional outbursts.
Matthew 14:13-25, But I don't have ill intent in my heart to yell and harm my kids. I ust get frustrated that I am not heard or understood sometimes.
John11:32-44 Verse 41 stood out to me. The whole chapter did not record a vocal prayer of the Lord yet in vs 41, he said " I thank thee (refering to Heavenly Father) that thou has heard me. I know that thou hearest me always. "
The Savior himself always had a constant prayer in his heart. He testified that God the Father always hear him, even his silent prayers. Wow, the power of constant prayer can per se "bring back Lazarus."
Like the Savior, I always try to have a payer in my heart, but I need to be intentional about speaking kind words and avoid an outburst.
Isaiah 53:3-5
