Scripture Reading: Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."

Devotional:
Our hearts are a battleground for spiritual warfare. The enemy seeks to sow seeds of doubt, fear, and temptation. To guard against these, we must be diligent, feeding our hearts with God's truth and love. By doing so, we maintain a heart that is aligned with God's purpose, able to withstand the fiery darts of the enemy.

Reflection:
What 'guardrails' have you set around your heart to protect it from spiritual attack? How could you strengthen these defenses with God’s help?

Prayer:
Lord, fortify my heart with Your strength and protection. Help me to diligently guard my thoughts and affections so that they remain pure and righteous before You. Guide me in filling my heart with Your word and Your love. Amen.

Action:
Write a list of scriptures or affirmations that speak to protecting and strengthening your heart. Place this list where you can see it daily, and make it a point to meditate on these words.
