“Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity” (Ephesians 4:26-27).
The Lord has given us the gift of emotions. You feel what you feel. Feel what you are feeling, only do not use this as an opportunity for sin. Give the devil no excuse to tempt and do not give into the temptations of those who have no hope. You have been redeemed and the price paid was the life of Christ. Do not treat this with anything other than respect for the Lord and disdain for the devil.
Lord, guide me in how to go about feeling without sinning. Lead me in the way of life so that I would humbly come into Your presence and feel the full range of my emotions and yet, not sin. I need You to teach me how to do this. You are the author and finisher of my faith. Lead me in this way so that I would now and always be guided by You, my Savior, in how best to live this life which You have given me.
Lord Jesus, You displayed emotion and lived life in this age without sinning. By Your example and in the grace You give, teach me how to live into a life that feels all the emotions You have created without giving into the tricks of the devil. Lead me, O Lord, so that I may follow You. Teach me so that I may learn. Guide me this day in the way You know I need to go. Amen.
