Our emotions can get the better of us. Our minds can cloud with thoughts that are often unsubstantiated just because our feelings get in the way. It is at these times that we really need to trust God with all that's going on in our lives. We need to give Him our problems, fears, and concerns, and ask Him to renew our minds so we do not follow by feelings.
A great verse I often use during those times when feelings and emotions conflict with reason is from Philippians 4: 6-7: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Notice that not only our hearts, but our minds will be guarded. What a comfort!
Are you having troubles with your emotions? Are your feelings getting in the way? Give your cares to Jesus so that your mind will have peace.
