Guard Your Heart!

 

 

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!

 

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 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!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Life As A Continual Feast Of Blessing

For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
    for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.

—Proverbs 15:15 (NLT)

Good and Generous God,

Let all my thoughts be filled with hope, as I give thanks for the continual feast of blessings that You have prepared for me to enjoy—so that I can keep a happy-hearted attitude, no matter what comes my way.

I know that if I never miss an opportunity to dwell on every bad thing that happens—my attitude will become poisoned, my days will be filled with worry and trouble, and my hope will be lost to the lies the enemy has deceived me into accepting as truth.

I know that if I never miss an opportunity to dwell on every good thing with which You have so abundantly blessed me—my attitude will be nourished, my days will be filled with joy and happiness, and my hope will grow, as You help me to live in the truth of Your love.

Let me always choose wisely, those things that I allow to continue in my thoughts and influence my beliefs—so that I might fully experience the abundant life that You have invited me to live out each and every day.

Let all my thoughts be filled with hope, as I give thanks for the continual feast of blessings that You have prepared for me to enjoy—so that I can keep a happy-hearted attitude, no matter what comes my way.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
