Day 36 - Controlling Your Emotions


Don't abandon wisdom, and she will watch over you; love her, and she will guard you.

PROVERBS 4:6 HCSB



"...control your emotions before they control you" p74

"...learn to live by faith, not by the ups and downs of our own emotional roller coasters."p74

"Sometime during this day, you will probably be gripped by a strong negative feeling. Distrust it. Reign it in. Test it. And turn it over to God. Your emotions will inevitably change; God will not. So trust Him completely as you watch those negative feelings slowly evaporate into thin air - which, of course, they will" p74

"If you are going to be a person who is committed to the Word of God, you will have to learn to be led by the spirit and not by your emotions" p75 - JOYCE MEYER



TODAY'S PRAYER

Heavenly Father, You are my strength and my refuge. As I journey through this day, I will encounter events that cause me emotional distress. Lord when I am troubled, let me turn to You. Keep me steady, Lord and in those difficult moments, renew a right spirit inside my heart. Amen
