"Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Very poetical, but how practical? From this verse in Proverbs 4 (and three others keeping it in context), we have four pieces of advice for guarding our heart by being aware of: the presence of God in your life; what part purity plays; perseverance; and the power of prayer. What holds it together may surprise you. In this book you will discover that it is possible to live these principles out, even under the most stressful circumstances. Looking at how David, Daniel, Elijah, and Joseph each guarded his heart, their lives will become surprisingly easy to relate to. These patriarchs come to life as real people, living real lives, with real problems...just like yours.
