Guard Your Heart: Protecting Your Mind and Spirit

Proverbs 4:23 teaches believers to guard their hearts diligently because the issues of life flow from within.

Philippians 4:8 offers a guide for healthy thinking: focus on what is true, pure, just, lovely and worthy of praise. We may not stop every thought from coming, but we can choose which thoughts to entertain.
