As most know, a woman is very emotional. Our emotions sometimes get the best of us. We allow them to surpass boundaries that we initially set. Before we know it, they have taken control of our thought process. This can lead to a mental state of confusion and affect us in our marriages, families, friendships, and occupations. We try to put them aside, but no matter how much we strive to accomplish this, it is a constant battle.
How does one rid their mind of these emotions? How does one defeat their own creation of emotions? Is it possible to ever overcome such?
Is it a matter of consistent prayer or will it forever remain in the depths of my mind? I would hope that eventually the emotions will subside and I won't have this constant battle to fight, I won't have to continuously put forth the effort to push these feelings away. I want to have peace of mind. I want to have a better relationship with the Lord, my husband, my daughter, my church, family and friends.

1 John 4:4 - "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
James 4:7 - "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
You aren't the only one. I've found there are two ways to eliminate the possibility of emotions controlling me (which work for me, maybe no one else.)
1. When I get very angry, I can just let it fester and bite my tongue (metaphorically), becoming more and more angry until I get home, and then unload it in prayer and tears.
2. I can decide before whatever situation in which I may be involved in becoming emotional to do something. My decision before hand is to NOT CARE what happens. Not care what plans change, not care who does what. Just not care. I know if it is something that violates scripture, I'll get my feathers ruffled, but I am referring to all the physical things.
Thanks James
It's so difficult sometimes to feel that I can overcome them. I feel helpless in my own mind and that is what really gets to me.
Thanks for the scriptures
