Guard Your Heart
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Prov 4:23 KJV
Protection begins inside you. Someone else’s behaviour does not have to determine whether you become angry, vindictive, fearful or consumed by the situation.
You can establish boundaries while keeping your heart clean.
Pray:
“Lord, guard my heart. Don’t allow hurt to become hatred or disappointment to become bitterness. Help me protect myself without becoming hard. Give me wisdom to establish appropriate boundaries while remaining loving. Amen.”
Christlike attitude:
I will protect my heart without poisoning it.

Margo Huss is a loving Christian mother of 7 and wife of a Muslim Christian convert. She enjoys musing on hot political and philosophical issues from on the ground and through life in Christ.
A recovering Gen X-er, she offers a refreshingly honest, if not muesli-brained and opinionated view on current cultural issues. Contrary to what some might believe, she is open to new ideas and is a life-long learner.
Typically female, she transcends factual information and thinks she is always right. She may occasionally agree with you, though you will never know. You are wrong even when you are right. You may find her mainstream takes luke warm, but her faith runs deep and hot.
You can block her, abuse her, or simply enjoy interacting with her, but you cannot shut her up.
