Emotional balance is not always easy to achieve. We can allow our emotions to take us places we do not need to go. We can allow our feelings to eclipse our faith. We can allow an emotional place to make us miss the very place in which we find ourselves. Anger can become uncontrolled rage when it takes over. Self-pity, when entertained, can paralyze us or fill us with resentment. Trust your Lord when your emotions are trying to transport you to doubt. Have faith in God when the winds of feelings are blowing another way.
Father, You, not our emotions, are our God. Thank You for the times we feel Your nearness. May we know that You are near when our feelings say otherwise.
