  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 1:44
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 1:48
  - Rocha.
• 1:49
  - Today's prayer is dealing with how to apply
• 1:51
  - scripture
• 1:52
  - when your emotions take over.
• 1:55
  - Scriptural text comes from Proverbs three five through
• 1:57
  - six and says, trust in the Lord with
• 2:00
  - all your heart and lean not on your
• 2:02
  - own understanding.
• 2:06
  - It's much easier to remember scripture when life
• 2:09
  - is calm.
• 2:11
  - Then someone says something hurtful
• 2:14
  - and an unexpected bill arrives,
• 2:17
  - a plan falls apart,
• 2:20
  - which leads to fear
• 2:22
  - and fear
• 2:23
  - rises.
• 2:25
  - Suddenly
• 2:26
  - what we know becomes difficult to practice because
• 2:29
  - emotions are demanding
• 2:31
  - our attention.
• 2:33
  - Emotions are very real,
• 2:36
  - but
• 2:37
  - they aren't always reliable guides.
• 2:40
  - When emotions become louder than truth,
• 2:43
  - we're more likely to react before asking what
• 2:46
  - God's word says.
• 2:48
  - Prayer creates a pause
• 2:50
  - between what we feel
• 2:52
  - and how we respond.
• 2:55
  - Before sending the message, making the decision, or
• 2:58
  - reacting emotionally,
• 3:00
  - stop and pray.
• 3:03
  - Heavenly father, help me respond according to your
• 3:06
  - truth,
• 3:06
  - not simply according to what I'm feeling.
• 3:10
  - That pause
• 3:12
  - gives scripture
• 3:13
  - room to guide your response.
• 3:16
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 3:20
  - Father God, thank you for caring
• 3:23
  - about every emotion I experience.
• 3:27
  - When my feelings become overwhelming,
• 3:29
  - help me bring them to you instead of
• 3:31
  - allowing them to control my response.
• 3:34
  - Bring your word back to my mind and
• 3:36
  - give me wisdom to act according to truth.
• 3:40
  - Teach me to pause,
• 3:42
  - pray, and allow you to guide what happens
• 3:45
  - next, and I will bless you in Jesus'
• 3:48
  - name.
• 3:49
  - The next time your emotions arise,
• 3:52
  - practice three words.
• 3:54
  - Pause.
• 3:56
  - Pray,
• 3:57
  - respond.
