You’ve been there, a decision made in the heat of disappointment, or excitement, or fear, that looked completely different once the feeling passed. Emotions aren’t the enemy, but they can be convincing narrators of situations that deserve a second look.
In today’s prayer, Valarie holds that tension with honesty and grace. She celebrates the gift of emotions as a reflection of who God is, while praying for the wisdom to keep them in their proper place — informing us without leading us. She asks God for the kind of clarity that rises above what we feel in a given moment, and for a heart anchored in His Word when feelings start interpreting life for us. This is a prayer for the pause — the holy breath between emotion and reaction that makes all the difference.
“The heart is deceitful above all things — but God searches it and knows it.” — Jeremiah 17:9–10
