Proverbs 4: 23
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
O my Father, it is You Who has given me life. You gave me physical life; then You gave me spiritual life, which is real Life, eternal Life.
Father, I have put a guard on my heart to not give it away to anyone who would not be Your choice for me.
The guard I put on my heart is to not let anything impure or unworthy to defile me; to filter out all that would hinder or damage, and let in all that would promote Life and health and honor.
Teach me to revere what You revere, to fill my heart with Your pure Love and understanding to discern all that is righteous from everything that is tainted in this World.
Father, fill my heart to overflow with Your Love and joy and compassion and gentleness.
And You will receive all the glory, all the credit for all You have done; and all the honor and praise for Your kindness and compassion and justice and mercy.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
