When things happen in our lives, we might feel happy, sad, afraid, or even angry. The way we feel on the inside comes out through the way we act, the things we say, and the looks on our faces.

 

God gave us those emotions, and it’s one of the ways He made people special. But we should never let our feelings keep us from trusting and obeying God!

​

We can learn a lot about this from a man in the Bible named Joseph. Joseph loved God, but it seemed like bad things kept happening to him! He probably felt very sad, afraid, and alone. But instead of letting those feelings control him, he chose not to focus on sadness, fear, loneliness, or anger. He kept trusting God and doing what he knew God wanted him to do. God was with him and had a plan the whole time!
