 WORDS OF WISDOM:

GUARD YOUR HEART

Morning prayer: 

Father, I thank you on this Sunday Morning for waking me up. I come asking you to continue to give me guidance, understanding, direction, patience and clarity. Help me this day to rest in you; to refuel and recharge so that I can prepare for the week that you have set before me. Thank you for watching over me and for providing for me all through the weekend. I’m so grateful and thankful for everything you have done and everything that you will and continuously do in me, for my family, friends and love ones. Father, I ask that you bless those that are less fortunate. Meet the needs of those that don’t have a place to lay their heads and for the homeless to obtain shelter. Father, especially now, its getting cold in some states and cities. I pray for shelter for them because it’s below freezing in some places. I pray for those that don’t have health insurance to take care of health situations they have. I pray for protection and for a advocate for those in domestic violence situation or dealing with a mental health issue. I pray for those that don’t have the means to take care of their families. I pray open doors of employment and financial opportunities. I’m praying that you send resources and financial blessings.  I pray that you touch those that are sick in hospitals and nursing homes. I pray for those that are incarcerated and those that are in foreign countries. I pray for those in the countries that don’t even have clean water to drink, don't have food nor don't have shoes to put on. I pray for those that are going through all types of abuse and harassment due to terrorism. I pray for the nation and the peace of Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. I pray for the  President and Government that they make rules and decisions that will help this nation and the people that need it. I pray for the mental health and for deliverance from all addictions. I pray for those that lost love ones. Father, please guide us on the right path with clear direction. I’m so grateful for your grace, mercy and your unconditional love. I love you Father.

SCRIPTURE:

Proverbs 4:23-27

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. 

Reflection: 

Father this morning I ask that your help us to guard our hearts and my minds from wrong thoughts, negativity and toxic people. Help us to be very aware of what we engage in, even when watching TV. Help us be aware of what we listen to and what we allow our eyes to look at.  Not guarding our gateways affects our spirit and our soul. Let me stay guarded at all times so we won’t be distracted or get off course. We will stay guarded when life seems to take us on a roller coaster ride. We will stay guarded when the storms come. We will stay guarded when we feel like just calling it quits. We will stay guarded and grounded. Help us to know the tricks of the enemy and how he tries to desensitize us and gets us to fall victim to his schemes. Help us to see the danger in the things that we do that opens us up to wrong things and choices. GOD, please protect us from making wrong decisions and wrong choices that will eventually caused great pain or regret.  Why is the thought life so important?  Because we need to protect our minds. It’s another way of saying, “Just load up on The Word GOD and Get the word of GOD into your heart."  I will hide the word in my heart that I might not sin against you, GOD, by living according to your word. I will seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. The Bible tell us "above all else, guard your heart; for out of it are the issues of life.” Because the thought life controls the rest of your life. If you tell me what you think, I’ll tell you who you are and the life you live. What you think is what you are. The thought life controls you. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).  Your thoughts—positive, negative, good, or bad—control your attitudes. Your attitudes are the sum total of your thoughts. Your attitudes lead to your actions.  Your thoughts control your actions. Before you can do a thing you have to think it. Your thoughts lead to attitudes; attitudes lead to actions; actions lead to those achievements. It all begins with the thought life. Your achievements will be the sum total of your thoughts. We must be on guard. Be careful what comes into your mind. You have to think pure thoughts. Now, a text without a context is a pretext, so context is important.   When GOD is in our heart, then we will think right, live right, do right. When GOD is absent, we think wrong, do wrong, live wrong. When GOD gets ready to change someone, how does He do it? By changing how they think. GOD changes the thought process. Help us LORD to stay on point and guard our hearts and minds. 

We have to protect what we come in contact with and who we allow in our space that my infect us with wrong thoughts or actions or deeds. Let me tell you something wonderful. God made you where you can’t think two things at one time. So how do you keep from thinking what’s wrong? Just think what’s right. And if you’re thinking what’s right, you cannot be thinking what’s wrong. It’s another way of saying, “Just load up on My Word. Get My Word into your heart.” Father GOD, I thank you for making me aware of what I needed to do to guard my Heart and staying on guard. And its in JESUS name I pray 🙏🏽 Amen!

Romans12:2

Be not conformed to this world; but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

JESUS is my Everything
