GUARD YOUR HEART!


We have many things in our lives that keep us safe and protected from harm.  


From the clothes we wear to protect us from the elements to the various things in our homes, cars, and jobs, like locks, safety glass, and fire-retardant materials, we are surrounded by protection and security. 


It’s so common and a part of our culture that we seldom think about it. 

What about our hearts?  


I don’t mean the healthy food we are supposed to eat and the daily exercise we are supposed to participate in that keeps out tickers physically healthy. 


What are we doing to protect our hearts from the worldly influences that can cause us to make bad decisions based on illusions of material things that spark the pride and greed of our self -will?  


How are you guarding your heart from these influences?.. 


Check your experience… 


“Here was something at work in a human heart which had done the impossible.” Big Book pg. 11 

Lord, let us guard our hearts from the illusions of this world by focusing on Your Will, Word, and Truth, AMEN.

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

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Why worry?.. 

Schedules conflict, appointments run long, and our responsibilities never seem to end! 

Now maybe it’s different for you but when I find myself, as I often do, mentally leaving the present situation because my mind wants me to start focusing on where it thinks I should be according to the “plan”, I must remind myself that this is where I need to be and now is where my focus needs to be. 

Wringing my hands, pacing, checking my watch, calendar, or phone, won’t move the time any faster. 

I have learned that the root cause of all of this for me is my fear-based mind’s desire to worry. 

The solution I must force myself at times to grab and hold onto is that God has me right here right now for His own reasons and I need to be awake and present in this moment and not lost in thoughts and worry over my day not matching up with my calendar. 


Worry won’t change a thing, except to make your present situation more uncomfortable… 

Check your experience… 

“Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.” Big Book pg. 417 

Lord, let us trade in our worries for your grace and guidance, AMEN. 

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6-7 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Faith or fear?..

It's the age-old problem that we face every day.

It comes seemingly from out of nowhere, but if not confronted immediately, our day can get hijacked with our thoughts taken hostage and our minds blinded by it. 

What is it? 

FEAR... 

OK, so maybe you are one of those invincible folks already so full of faith that fear has no way to get a grip inside of you. 

I wish I could say that, but I am human and without putting myself in check with faith each time a fear tries to crop up, I am a victim. 

Try this the next time you find yourself stepping on the gas out of fear of missing the light, or when your mind fills with words you feel you must immediately say, instead of listening to the conversation completely before it's your turn to speak...


I bet Y'all didn't consider those as a fear did you?..

RELAX and let your faith guide your mind!..

Check your experience...

"We think fear ought to be classed with stealing. It seems to cause more trouble." Big Book pg. 68

 Lord, quiet the fears in our minds with the Faith in our hearts, AMEN. 

 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
