Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the

TEENAGER COUNSELING EMOTION MANAGEMENT THERAPY
I trust you're being patient.
The rewards of your patience in taking one step per day is a
strong solid PATH. Teenage trials are common but overcoming teenage trials can be a rascal. Let us look at teenage trials and how to get past teenage trials.
Greetings my friend ...
Ready
to dig in and get rid of more weeds? Look behind you at the
four STEPPING STONES that you’ve already put down. Pretty
cool huh? Soon you’ll have a lovely pathway that winds all
through your garden. It may seem slow at first, but don’t
forget, important TRUTHS are soaking into the soil (your
subconscious mind) ...
Before
we get down to the nitty gritty today there’s a weed that
has runners on its root system called ... Blame. This word
Blame is an ugly word and it’s an even uglier weed. Nobody
likes to be blamed for anything bad. Whenever problems
arise, or if we have long existing problems, one of our
first reactions is to blame somebody else. Now, granted,
chances are there are other people involved in your problem,
but are they to blame?
If we
were to ask them why they did whatever they did to
contribute to your problem, it’s likely that they have
others to blame for their actions too. And those people have
yet others to blame, and the chain of blame would probably
go back in time all the way back to Adam and Eve.
Now,
that may sound like a joke at first, when in fact, we really
CAN trace the blame back to that time, when an angel named
satan, who out of jealousy toward God, CON-vinced Eve to
disobey God, and she passed the deceit on to Adam, and as a
result we all inherited what is called:
So, in
all TRUTH, the thing that we can trace the blame for bad
seeds to ...is the devil. There! Now we’ve identified the
source of the problem ... So what? So we found out that
we’re not to blame, and others aren’t to blame
either ... It is NOT our sin. BUT we did CHOOSE it and when we
choose to continue to entertain the evil that the devil
started, and is constantly distributing to mankind ... that’s
when we become responsible for it.
|
1 Peter 5:8-9
Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour: Whom (you should) resist steadfast
in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished
in your brethren that are in the world. |

You know, just to make sure we pulled all the roots of the
‘blame weed’ let’s talk about some of the reactions that
are related to blame ... Some of the other weeds in the blame
family.
Revenge is a common one.
Anger
is another.
Mistrust, hatred, fear ...The worst is PRIDE ...
If
you’ve ever been to a non-Christian based counseling program
of any kind, you’ll be misguided into thinking that these
reactions are “normal” and that you must “get in
touch” with those feelings. Likewise when people lose a
loved one, they’re encouraged to “get in touch” with their
grief. By the way, that phrase “get in touch” means “allow
and accept” ...
My
friend, the Lord, your Physician, never said THAT! Quite the
opposite is what the Word of God says.
Just
to make certain, let’s take a look at the TRUTH, shall we?
REVENGE
|
Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves,
but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance
is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. |
FEAR
|
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not
given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind. |
MISTRUST
|
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD
with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths. |
ANGER
|
Proverbs 16:32
He that is slow to
anger is better than the mighty; and he that
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. |
|
Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not:
let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to
the devil. |
VERY important thing to remember to ... Never go to
sleep angry!
CHRISTIAN TRIALS AND CHRISTIAN EMOTIONS CONCERN
TEENAGER COUNSELING EMOTION MANAGEMENT WARNING
Because anger is one of the devil’s seeds, and when it’s
planted in your mind and you go to sleep, it thrives in the
darkness of sleep. That seed will nestle itself into your
subconscious mind and grow into a monstrous weed, without
your even knowing it. Eliminate your anger by bringing it
into the light of the TRUTH.
GRIEF
|
Matthew 8:22
But Jesus said unto
him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. |
HATRED
|
Mark 12:29-31
And Jesus answered
him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The
Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment
greater than these. |
One
more scripture to kind of sum them all up:
|
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary
in well doing:
for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not. |

TEENAGER COUNSELING EMOTION MANAGEMENT ANSWERS
In other words, don’t ever get tired of being righteous,
because you will be rewarded accordingly. As you can plainly
see, any retribution for things that we blame others for,
belongs to God.
Now,
just relax, because I know you’ve learned that if you don’t
address those feelings, they’ll eat you up inside and if you
don’t “express”them, it could be detrimental to your
mental health. I’ll be showing you the Christian way to deal
with those feelings in a STEPPING STONE down THE PATH
called:
CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS.
WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
THE
NITTY GRITTY
Now,
back to your problem itself. “The devil made me do it,” is
not a valid identification to any problem. Let me point out
to you the word “source.” We found out that the devil
is the source of all problems, but the devil can’t
MAKE anybody do anything. He is only allowed to
suggest or present temptation (unless he has God’s
permission, as it was in Job’s case). Once his temptation is
introduced, my friend, the ball is in your court. God has
given us all free will, which is the freedom to choose what
to do. Remember, we discussed that when we learned about
God’s Grace, but let me give you a little deeper insight.
When
God, in His infinite wisdom created us in His image ...
He
gave each of us this neat little thing called a conscience.
Remember in the story of Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket
encouraged the little marionette to “Let your conscience be
your guide.” What exactly is your conscience anyway? It’s
the awareness of obligation to do the right thing. You may
have heard people use the expression, “He/she has no
conscience.” Oh, everybody has one, they just don’t always
use it. Whenever Pinocchio didn’t listen to his conscience,
that’s when he got into trouble.
BECOME
CONSCIOUS OF YOUR CONSCIENCE!
When
we ignore our conscience and don’t resist the candy coated
offers and ideas that the devil has for sale ...the blame
then passes from the “source” of the problem to the
“purchaser.” Then my friend, you just bought yourself some
bad seeds for your garden. Sometimes it takes a while for
them to germinate, but once they do . . . Well, you know
what happens.
Remember back at THE GARDEN GATE, when we said that
admitting you have a problem is half the battle? At this
point on
THE PATH, it’s time to be more specific.
Identify the
weeds.

crabgrass in my garden.

I have

I have

I have

I have

Tell
God exactly what your problem is. It’s just between you and
Him. Make a sincere plea to Him and ASK Him to help you weed
it out. I’m going to help you out on this one a little bit
because you’re my friend ... And we’re in this together,
remember.
This
is an example of what you’ll do, and by accomplishing this
we’ll be pulling the weeds necessary to put this fifth
STEPPING STONE in place.
Anyone
who has a problem, affects those who love them in one way or
another. Your choice not to pull the weed that caused your
problem when you first recognized it, allowed it to grow,
and seeds from that weed have blown into others’ gardens
too. Sooooo, part of your problem is a weed called
selfishness. Go ahead and say it:
I AM
SELFISH
That’s
how you do it! You’ve just identified (part of) a problem.
Of course, yours will include your specific problem and the
“I am selfish” part. Don’t be ashamed. Everyone has
problems and everyone who is on THE PATH right now is
saying:
|
My problem is ____________, and I am
selfish. |
CHRISTIAN TRIALS AND CHRISTIAN EMOTIONS STEPS
TEENAGER COUNSELING EMOTION MANAGEMENT PATH
And everyone feels the twinge of embarrassment that
you’re feeling, and it’s normal. It’s even GOOD! It’s part
of being repentant and that my friend is what entitles you
to that wonderful gift and miracle that you learned about in
STEPPING STONE #3 ...
God’s Grace.
Remember not to hang on to those feelings of embarrassment
by forgiving yourself.

As you
can see, the Christian approach to identifying your problem
is not to “get in touch” or “allow” your problem, or the
emotions that may accompany it to dwell within you while you
just "accept" it. Identifying your problem should be a means
to an end, not a door that let’s other problems in. Strength
and the resolution to your problem will come from the Lord.
As your friend, and as a Christian, my advice to you, is
“get in touch” with GOD! “Allow” HIM in and "accept" His
TRUTH.
LET GO
AND LET GOD!
LET GO
(of your problem), AND LET GOD (remove it)!
Every
problem is unique. Every person’s situation is different,
and the steps in the following aspect of this program are
general Christian guidelines to follow, but the links below
are for certain specific problems and issues. If one of
these areas describes your individual problem(s), take a
FIELD TRIP to that link and when you’ve read all the
selections of your choice, I’ll meet you back here on THE
PATH.
Keep
in mind that these studies are NOT the cure, but more like
vitamins for your mind. The studies below are not the end of
THE PATH. We still have nine steps to go after this one, so
once you've read the studies you wish to, be sure to return
here.
You
may want to bookmark this page and read one or more of these
studies every day as you continue your walk down the path of
TRUTH.
CHRISTIAN TRIALS AND CHRISTIAN EMOTIONS PEACE
TEENAGER COUNSELING EMOTION MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Now that you’ve admitted that you have a problem and you know
that God’s Grace is available to you simply for the asking
and you know that you should forgive yourself and you’ve
removed some serious weeds in your minds garden and you’ve
identified your problem ... You have got a good solid
beginning to your pathway to freedom from your problem.
You may have been looking at the problem from a worldly point of
view, instead of a Christian viewpoint, and my friend that’s
exactly what the devil’s purpose is. Anything he can do to
blind you from the TRUTH is his mission. Simply by taking
these first few steps on THE PATH, you’ve begun to thwart
the devil’s mission because you’re already starting to pluck
up the weeds that he’s planted and replace them with seeds
of TRUTH.
|
Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good. |
Teenage trials occur. It
is just the way it is.
But we can overcome
teenage trials by
knowing the truth cuz
the truth sets us free.
|
|
|
We all
make mistakes. We fall. Sin gets in our way. Temptation
surrounds us and we don't always resist. But that is exactly
why
God
sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins,
and to give us the FREE gift of GRACE! He wants you to ask
forgiveness and keep fighting the good fight of faith. When
you find yourself struggling with feelings of failure,
unworthiness, fear, weakness or shame, just remember that
God
loves
you so very much and He
wants you to get back up when you stumble. PERSEVERE! NEVER
GIVE UP! If you have a bad day, this study will help you
understand more about the liberating GRACE that our Father
wants each and every one of us to enjoy.
