Undoubtedly, both men and women are emotional driven creatures and emotions, though powerful, can often mislead and misguide or actions. In moments of anger, frustration, disappointment, brokenness, or sadness, we risk making decisions that leave lasting regrets. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 14:29: “Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” Pausing allows us to separate ourselves from immediate feelings, giving space for God driven and influenced discernment.

Through prayer, we invite God into our hearts, seeking His guidance. In Philippians 4:6-7, we are encouraged: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This peace strengthens us to move forward wisely, rather than reacting impulsively.

Taking a breath, pausing, and praying are acts of surrender, showing trust in God’s wisdom rather than relying solely on our own understanding. As we commit our ways to Him, we align our actions with His will, ensuring they reflect His love and truth.

My brothers and sisters, I encourage you to avoid letting fleeting and unreliable emotions result in lasting regrets. The best practice is to breathe, pause, pray, and move forward with clarity and wisdom.

Pray with me:

Patient and Wise Father God, thank You for being my refuge and strength in all situations. When my fleeting and unreliable emotions overwhelm me, remind me to pause, breathe, and seek Your guidance. Help me to discern wisely, to respond with love, patience, grace, and clarity. Guard my heart and mind against rash decisions that could cause harm or regret. Lord God, I trust in Your wisdom and Your plan for my life. Lead me always in the path of righteousness and peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray, believe, and praise. Amen and Amen and Amen!
