Guard Your Heart

  • What are safeguards?
  • Why do we have them?
  • Have you ever felt physically unsafe? Why?
  • What could have been done to make you feel safer?
  • Have you ever felt emotionally unsafe? Why?
  • How could you have felt safer?
  • Have you ever had your heart broken? 
  • When you are hurt or angry, can it affect how you treat people? Why?

Proverbs 4:23 NIV

[23] Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Guarding our heart does not mean shutting the world out. Guarding your heart means having safeguards or boundaries. We have to protect our heart, and be cautious about how others treat us. The more we are hurt and broken down over time, the harder it is to heal. What are some ways we can guard our hearts?
