I expect you are spiritually mature enough to realize that mood is temporary, changeable and in many aspects whimsical and you never rely on mood to guide or change your decisions Alan.
I pray that you and I submit our desires, hopes and dreams to the LORD on a regular basis and that we each are cheerful givers of our time, talents and treasure as the LORD guides us, my brother-in-Christ Alan K..
I thank YOU LORD that YOU are in absolute control. I pray that YOU use the turmoil, angst, fear and worry in the heart/soul of men, women and children in this pandemic season lead many towards hope in YOU. Do what needs to be done dear LORD and draw many to YOU.
I lift legislators, judges, and executives to YOU dear God. I pray that YOU bless each one with an extra dose of wisdom in these trying times. I pray that each judge rules in accordance with the constitution – Federal Judges adhering to the Federal Constitution and State Judges adhering to the Federal and State constitution giving deference to the federal.
I lift parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close family friends to YOU. I pray that YOU bless each family of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with stronger bonds of love towards YOU in order that our love for each other is rooted in our first love. YOU loved us first and YOU love us eternally.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Sunday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel Burroughs and all the rest for my RP Family. I hope y’all are having a wonderfully blessed Sunday. Moods can be all over the spectrum. I believe that we can choose our mood for the most part, but there are some medical and emotional issues as well that influence our moods. How we react and decide what we are going to do to address the mood is pretty much a personal choice, even to choose whether to seek help. I seek my help for me by turning to God for answers and help. I have included an excerpt from a very interesting piece that I thought fairly well sums up the ideas behind moods. I believe you may even be able to read the entire article, if you choose. Have a blessed day today and always.
An excerpt taken from https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/lay-aside-the-weight-of-moodiness
Query Your Mood
The quickest way to lay aside the weight of manipulative moodiness is to wield our mood in the way God designed it: as a gauge of our belief. We must query our mood. What is fueling it?
First, determine whether or not it’s a body chemistry issue. Menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and post-partum hormonal imbalances are famous mood influencers. So are sickness and disease. Sometimes the first indicator that I’m coming down with the flu or a nasty cold is a vague discouragement or low-grade depression. Prescription medication, disease treatment, caffeine, sugar, “mood enhancing” illicit drugs (obviously) all can alter our body chemistry and affect our moods. So do mental illness, chronic pain, and sleep deprivation.
We must still fight to trust God’s promises even if our bodies aren’t working right. But a chemistry issue typically must be addressed with a chemistry solution, including prayer for God’s healing of the chemistry issue.
A Built-In Alarm for Beliefs
“Moods are gauges God has given us to help us detect the lies we believe.” Tweet Share on Facebook
But more often than not, for most of us, our bad mood is being fueled by a wrong belief. And the mood, though likely sin-infected, is a mercy. It is God’s designed gauge to alert us that a sinful or defective functional belief is governing us at the moment and must be corrected with God’s truth.
When our souls are “cast down” and “in turmoil” within us, we must ask, “Why?” And then we must preach to our souls to “hope in God,” our salvation and our portion, whose mercies are new every morning (Psalm 42:5–6; Lamentations 3:22–24).

Lay Aside the Weight of Moodiness
Bad moods come and go, making us feel irritable, cynical, or depressed, and often causing us to sin against others. How do we navigate these difficult emotions?
