"There are certain things we must not pray about - moods, for instance. Moods never go by praying, moods go by kicking. A mood nearly always has its set in the physical condition, not in the moral. It is a continual effort not to listen to the moods which arise from a physical condition, never submit to them for a second. We have to take ourselves by the scruff of the neck and shake ourselves, and we will find that we can do what we said we would not. The curse with most of us is that we won't. The Christian life is one of the incarnate spiritual pluck." (Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest.")
What do you think of this? Agree or disagree?
No one probably reads my blog anymore since I didn't write for 3 weeks. ;) COME BACK!

I read I read I read. I am so glad you are back, Bethie.
I always check - and am so glad when you write! In agreement with moods - I have been instructed and convicted that emotion can't rule my relationship with the Lord and I find my moods are just reflections of those emotions and sometimes you have to just kick it to the curb.
