How do you live spiritually instead of being ruled by your emotions?
Living life in a spiritual manner has to transcend emotions. That does not mean emotions do not happen, or that we are not plagued by them, or that they do not come. It means the spiritual man or woman has to learn how to transcend the emotional state and live above it in the spiritual state. The spiritual state is one of peacefulness, because it is linked together with God through prayer.
It is the constant remembrance of his name, of his presence, of his activity in our life. Every circumstance and situation that tempts us with anxiety or fear or uncertainty is that emotional state drawing us to the future, what could happen, or drawing us to remembrance of the past, what did happen, what we did not like, what has bothered us. But to be in the spiritual state is to be continually present in prayerfulness.
