Before your feet hit the floor in the morning, this is a good prayer: 'God, before I even start this day, I surrender my emotions to you. I want you to be Lord of my feelings. I want you to control my mind and my emotions.'
It isn't easy. But this is what happens when we do:
- Confidence
- Fearlessness
- Hopefulness
- Freedom from worry
God's love really can fill your life and cast out your anxiety and fear.
Job 11:13-18 says, 'Surrender your heart to God, turn to him in prayer, and give up your sins'even those you do in secret. Then you won't be ashamed; you will be confident and fearless. Your troubles will go away like water beneath a bridge, and your darkest night will be brighter than noon. You will rest safe and secure, filled with hope and emptied of worry'
