THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGHT;

Before going into battle God said to Joshua: "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand" (Joshua 8:18 NKJV). It's amazing how courageous you become when you know God's got you covered. When you know He's behind you, you can say, "No weapon formed against me will prevail" (Isaiah 54:17). Remember as a child how secure you felt in a fight knowing your big brother or sister was behind you? Well, God is backing you up!
Talk back to your feelings. Do you let your moods manipulate you? God doesn't want you to be controlled by your feelings. He wants you to master your moods. With Christ as the Master of your life, you can learn to master your feelings.

Talk back to them. Learn to challenge your emotions: "For the grace of God...teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives..." (Titus 2:11-12 NIV).

God's grace gives us the power to do what is right. God gives you the ability to say no to that feeling, to that desire, to that impulse.
