  - I'd like to welcome you to today's prayer
• 0:57
  - conversation
• 0:58
  - by discussing
• 1:00
  - what happens when emotions cloud spiritual clarity.
• 1:04
  - You know, emotions are a beautiful thing,
• 1:07
  - but I'm sure you would agree that there's
• 1:09
  - been at least once in your life
• 1:13
  - that you made a decision
• 1:15
  - based on emotion and then
• 1:18
  - came to regret it.
• 1:21
  - Disappointment,
• 1:22
  - frustration, excitement, and anxiety
• 1:25
  - kept all influence our decisions.
• 1:29
  - And when emotions are high
• 1:32
  - discernment can become difficult
• 1:34
  - because our feelings begin
• 1:36
  - interpreting situations for us
• 1:41
  - I must admit I'm very thankful that God
• 1:43
  - gives us our emotions
• 1:45
  - because it reflects
• 1:46
  - a side of who he is
• 1:48
  - But I'm more grateful for the fact that
• 1:52
  - God encourages
• 1:53
  - us
• 1:54
  - to weigh and balance things out and we
• 1:57
  - don't have to do it on our own.
• 1:59
  - We can
• 2:00
  - use the word of God as our litmus
• 2:03
  - test
• 2:05
  - and come out ahead every single time.
• 2:09
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 2:12
  - Dear Lord,
• 2:14
  - thank you for creating emotions,
• 2:17
  - but help us not to be controlled by
• 2:19
  - them.
• 2:20
  - When we feel overwhelmed,
• 2:22
  - teach us to pause before reacting.
• 2:25
  - Give us wisdom that rises above temporary feelings
• 2:29
  - and clarity that comes from your spirit.
• 2:33
  - Help us seek your perspective before making decisions,
• 2:37
  - and let your peace guide our heart and
• 2:41
  - mind. And we will bless you in Jesus'
• 2:43
  - name.
• 2:45
  - If this was a blessing to you, follow
• 2:48
  - for tomorrow's prayer, unwarn spiritual discernment.
