How can I guard and protect my heart? - Protection - TouchPoints

Proverbs 4:23Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

1 John 5:21Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

Protect your heart from evil influences and temptations by obeying God and by staying away from anything that might tempt you to sin. This is very difficult in today’s world, where withdrawing or isolating from ungodly influences requires unusual persistence. Renew your commitment to love God with all you are and have. Turn off and turn away from what would lead your heart astray and turn toward God in prayer, worship, and acknowledgement of his presence. This will help you to step toward him and not away from him when temptations come to call.
