Nehemiah
8:10 – “Let this day be holy unto the
Lord! Let go of grief and sorrow because the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Heavenly Father, You created our emotions, so You
know we cannot help how we feel! You know our moods and mind-sets swing. You
gave us emotions as outlets or ways to let go, for You know that holding our
feelings in or trying to bury them only makes an eruption likely at an unexpected
moment or untimely time!
Help us to be honest with ourselves about our grief
and sorrows. Help us to embrace our emotions as the outlets You intended, but
let go of them and hang on to You in faith, believing You will work out
everything for our good. Oh, what joy
that brings!
