Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.—Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to guard my heart above all else—understanding that what I allow to fill my heart, will determine the course of my life.
Help me to see that the
battle for my heart is a battle that is waged against the enemy, in my mind, for the rights to occupy that
sacred space, which is my heart—it is
a battle over what thoughts (good or bad) and beliefs (right or wrong) that I
will allow to fill my heart, and thus determine my life’s course.
Help me remember that You
are always with me in this battle and that I am armed with the Truth of Your
Word, the Bible, so that I have the strength that I need to stand against the
enemy and the weapons I need to defeat him and defend the holy ground of my
heart.
Help me to make my heart a
space that only You can fill—with Your Presence and Power—as I wage every
battle of my mind, by holding every thought captive until it lines up with the
Truth of the Word, as revealed to my heart, by the Holy Spirit.
Help me to guard my heart above all else—understanding that what I allow to fill my heart, will determine the course of my life.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
