Emotional stillness is born from this reality of spiritual maturity building emotional resilience and emotional strength. Without this resilience and strength that enable us to be emotionally still, our emotions and their thoughts have full control over us,

If we don’t practice the fruit of self-control over our emotions, they have dominance over us. If we are not growing spiritually, we’re quenching the Spirit. Emotional maturity must become part of the journey toward a deeper and more stable faith.

The cycle that needs to break is not having an anxious way of thinking about things. As spiritual beings, we are in a body, and there are physically practical things we must consider to not be anxious at night and to further this into the day.

The Word of God is our mirror. If we cannot practice a verse, we reveal whatever it is that’s in us that hinders us from practicing that Word. We need to discern what our self-belief systems are internally.

What we must do as we awaken from sleep is tell our mind where to go, instead of it flooding itself with whatever it sees fit. The mind is a tool, not master. All we need to do is train the mind in the way that it should operate.
