Proverbs 4:23
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
STAND ON TRUTH
First and foremost guard your heart,
Always and forever it is your life;
Be perfected today and be set apart,
Love God and obey Him in Christ.
Above everything keep your focus pure,
Let no petty pursuits disturb your peace;
Be ready and willing to wholly surrender,
Lift your hands to the heavens and release.
Beginning to end holy faith is Life Blood,
That keeps a sanctified heart loving God;
Bought and secured by His Son at the Cross,
Nothing can ever move you from His Love.
Above all else take your stand on TRUTH,
Give no dirty demon access to your mind;
Be courageous when sin wants to rule over you,
Jesus Christ must reign on the throne of your life.

You may have to force yourself to concentrate on God's words and instructions.
Disciplining yourself to read the Bible daily is not easy when your emotions are interfering with your thoughts.
The Bible addresses this struggle:
The Bible addresses this struggle:
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying
your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as
for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge
of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store
for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects
the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul" (Proverbs 2:1-10).

them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
