Of knowledge (4)
"If I knew then what I know now, I would have done things differently." Or so people say.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Knowledge drives decision making, but emotional state influences it - consciously or unconsciously. Fear, envy, and pride are always at work. Even with the knowledge that I ought to do X, I might do Y anyway due to my emotion.
Emotion helps me enjoy my relationship with God and with others. And it can also lead to decisions that negatively affect the relationship.
Dear Lord,
I submit my everything and all of my being to you
Take control of my knowledge and emotion
So I be like Jesus more and more
