The circumstances of life can quite naturally send our emotions
from one end of the spectrum to another. On a good day, when
things are going smoothly and all of our plans unfold without
any snags, we tend to feel content and peaceful. But if we happen
to lose our keys in the morning or if someone cuts us off in traffic,
emotions like frustration and anger may set in and unravel our
entire sense of peace. Or if something much heavier happens and
we suffer the loss of a job or the loss of a loved one, months and
even years of sorrow may consume us. In this message Pastor Mike
helps us understand how we use our choices, our prayer life, our
thought-life, and our rejoicing to become emotionally alive
despite our circumstances.
