Father, when I get emotional, I can lose all logic and common sense. I also realize how this is all humans, not just me. Our emotions get us to feel so much that we end up thinking with our heart, rather that with our brains and spirit. Our emotions are fickle and can be swept away with the latest situation. Our emotions prevent us from fully hearing or seeing. In fact, they move us to embrace lies, doubt, deception, distraction, division, and hatred. Our heart is deceptive above everything (all things; Jeremiah 17:9). Our emotions bring this at times, Abba.
Will You help me to be still, turn to You and Your Word, and not allow my emotions to carry me away? I do not want to be deceived because of my emotions. I do not want to do anything wrongly because I am emotional and deceived by my own heart.
Help me trust You and Your Word, rather than be swayed in any way by my emotions... especially when the heart is deceptive above all else.
