When troubling emotions come, our first place to turn is not to the tomato plants, but to our heavenly Father. As I’ve processed intense troubling emotions and my sinful apathy, I’ve found one part of Scripture particularly helpful: the Psalms. The Psalms and EmotionThe Psalms not only help us know what we can say in prayer (often one of our biggest struggles), they help us know what to feel. Reading and praying the Psalms takes us into their emotional world, how they wrestled with God and eventually found hope. This leads me to worship and to pray that wicked politicians would take refuge in Christ (verse 12).
