Application Steps:
Start your day praying for God to give you the mind of Christ, and emotions that are submitted to Him.
On days when you get off track, like I did today, resolve to shorten the amount of time between the emotional trigger and the moment when you release your feelings and the situation into God's care.
Reflections:
What is getting the best of me today? Anger? Bitterness? Depression? Fear? Lust? Greed? Frustration? Or Christ?
Am I willing to release these emotions to God and not let my heart be troubled?
