Proverbs 4:23

Proverbs 4:23

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

What we fill our hearts with — what we love, watch, think, and feel — shapes everything we do and say. A clean heart makes a good life.

Memory phrase: Guard your heart above all things.

Talk about it: What kinds of things can make your heart feel dirty or sad? What makes it feel clean and happy?

Prayer: God, help me guard my heart and fill it with things that please You.
