Lose the Emotional Confusion....

....gain the clarity of peace.

"Clarity" is such a great word; and "clarity of peace" is even better.

Take just a moment and try to define the two phrases, "emotional confusion" and "clarity of peace." Can you see yourself in either of the two phrases or even in both? Do you prefer one over the other? Seriously.

You may be thinking, who would prefer "emotional confusion" over "clarity of peace." Plenty of folks. Just look around....you and I both know miserable people.

Anyhow, Arterburn (2007) states:

Our emotions are very much part of who we are and how we perceive the world, but all too often we give our emotions too much control in our lives. We need to get better understanding of them, so we can manage them in better accordance with God's will.

Arterburn then follows this statement with some of the main emotional states that cause us trouble. So, for the next few days, I will be making my way through these emotional states and maybe you and I will pick up a few pointers so that we will be able to see more clearly.
