I have had a lot of days lately where I am stuck in my emotions. Do you know what I am talking about? The times when I just cannot shake the feelings this earthly, human, finite brain keeps rolling around as I try to go about my day. It is sometimes maddening. Maybe someone did something, something happened at work, or just life is crazy – regardless of why – it still knocks me off my game.
Being human and being a Child of God sometimes…often…conflicts with each other. Philippians 4:6-7 says “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” And then, Galatians 5:22-23 says “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
To be the light of the world, we do not get to always act out how we feel. Our goal on this earth, as His children, is to show people His love. I vow to do this more, regardless of how I feel today, tomorrow, 10 years from now – will you take this vow with me?
Live fearlessly in Him, dear friends. Be blessed!

Psalm 46:1 Yahovah is a very present help in the times of my troubles. Even when the trouble I am experiencing is trying to wade through my emotions. Though moments of desperation come upon me to remain in a free state of mind from sometimes debilitating thoughts, I have found diverance through those very two scriptures you referenced. When I spoken and meditated on them, the Holy Spirit has lifted me up out of them! Yay Lord!!!
Amen and Amen!!
