We often hear the phrase, “Follow your heart.” It sounds lovely, doesn’t it? But following your heart and acting purely on emotion can be a double-edged sword. The heart is often seen as the place where our deepest feelings live: love, happiness, fear, excitement, sadness. Quite often, it’s those very emotions that influence the choices we make.
Think about it. How many times have you made a snap decision out of anger? Maybe you stormed out of a relationship or quit a job on a bad day. Perhaps, in a moment of loneliness, you reached out to someone you knew wasn’t good for you—just for a sense of comfort. Emotions have that power. They can feel so strong, so convincing, that they override everything else: logic, advice, even common sense.
Take fear, for instance. Fear of failure can stop someone from chasing their dream job. The fear of rejection might hold someone back from expressing how they really feel. Then there’s guilt—how many parents have given in to their children’s demands, not because it was the right thing to do, but because they felt guilty for saying no?
And let’s not forget love. It’s one of the most powerful emotions of all, and it has led people to make some of the boldest, and sometimes most reckless decisions. From moving across the world for someone to staying in an unhealthy relationship, love can sometimes cloud our judgment, making it hard to tell the difference between what we want and what’s actually good for us.
The truth is, emotions aren’t bad. They’re a vital part of being human. But when we allow them to take full control, especially during tough times, they can lead us in the wrong direction. Many people find themselves stuck in a cycle: making decisions based on emotional highs and lows, only to regret them later.
That’s why moments of emotional clarity are so important. This Friday, we are holding the 7 Prayers for a Complete Spiritual Cleansing, designed specifically for people feeling emotionally burdened or lost. If you’ve been carrying the weight of past decisions or struggling with choices that lie ahead this could be the fresh start you need.
During this service, a powerful prayer will be held to break emotional influences that may be clouding your judgement and affecting your life. With faith, wisdom, and guidance, you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
