Proverbs 4:23 (AMPC): "Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life."

The Bible says that life flows out from our hearts. We know that spiritually speaking, that life would be God's Own power that flows from His Spirit living inside us. The reason we are to guard our hearts is because if we aren't careful, we can cause that flow of life to become restricted when we block its flow with issues that have no place in our born-again lives. Things like sin, un-forgiveness, and any thoughts and conversations that are contrary to God's Word and nature. We guard our hearts by deliberately keeping our focus on whatever is in agreement with God's will... Things that are pure, and right, and uplifting; instead of things that are destructive and erode our faith! Today, choose to not become easily distracted by any negativity. Don't allow things to steer you away from God's truth, and drag you down a path of discouragement and despair. Rather, pull that life up from within your spirit as you keep your eyes on God's truth, having its wisdom set your course. It will fill your mind with peace and lay out a clear path ahead to victory.
