Yesterday I talked about our thought life and how important it is to guard our minds. Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. Today I’ll talk about guarding our emotions.
Even as I write this there were two issues that happened. I was confronted by two different people over icky situations. I could feel my emotions turning toward the negative. I had to preach to myself to forgive those involved and I prayed for wisdom on how to handle each situation.
The enemy wants to rob us of our joy and peace - all the time- but especially during hard times.
When STUFF happens- of course we’ll have emotions (we’re humans)- just don’t let the emotions have you. Be the one in control of your thoughts and emotions. Pray. Find a scripture (or more) that speaks to the situation. Speak those scriptures over the situation. Believe that God has a plan and can handle the tough times. He loves you.
Remember speak TO the mountain - not about it.
