Then I find myself weaponizing Scripture against my emotions instead of using truth to help me process them. For example, I will quickly quote a verse like 2 Timothy 1:7: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” God’s truth isn’t shaming me because I have fear but rather reminding me not to get consumed by it. It’s okay to feel the fear and hear the message it may be trying to send me.
