When they are overwhelmed with negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger, or hurt, overwhelm them with the Word of God. Remind them that God says they have a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11), that He loves them with an everlasting love that will never turn on them or fade away (Jeremiah 31:3), that He’s always there when they call to Him (Psalm 55:16), and that He will never, ever, ever fail them or forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6).
