Here's the Word:

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Your mind is that place where you process the input of life and react according to your individual personality and moral convictions. Sometimes, due to the chaotic nature of life, there seems to be no processing to it - emotions just grab the wheel of your direction and let the chips fall where they may.
But praise be to God and the power of His Word - It has the power to renew your mind and to coin a phrase from the six-million dollar man - make you; Better, Stronger, Faster!
Go ahead study what God's Word has to say about your mind. Passages not limited to, but including Philippians 3:16, Colossians 3:12, Titus 1:15 And meditate on it.
And ask yourself, am I way too Emotionold? or am I using God's word to affect my mind to remake me: To become Emotionew!

In Him,
Cros
