A Guarded Heart

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 

by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  

And the peace of God , which transcends all understanding, 

will GUARD YOUR HEART and your minds in Christ Jesus."

 //Philippians 4:6-7//

What does it mean to have a guarded heart? To me, being guarded means about the 

same thing as being protected.  I would imagine that when our hearts are 'guarded' they are protected

from unwanted and dangerous things.  

I feel as though I can not completely wrap my mind around the whole "guarded heart" thing,

but I know that we are instructed to desire it, so, I've been praying for it.

As a teenage girl, who often has a lot on her mind, 

I find my emotions riding a daily rollercoaster.

I trust that as I seek refuge in my God, that He will protect my 

heart and satisfy the desires I have, with Him.

"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

//Psalm 37:4//
