It’s easier to be led of the Spirit when you are not emotionally hijacked. Seek the will of the Father prior to any request. Be proactive in our doing and move from reactive responses. Our emotions and reactions in our responses are fleshly led and typically are not within the direction in which we are to respond within the will of the Father. In the midst of crisis, we tend to freak out some when the Spirit is saying to be in perfect peace, we got this! We later find we completely overreacted. It’s okay to have emotions, it’s just easier and more advantageous to be proactive versus reactive.
“Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee” Isaiah 26:3.
