Guarding Your Energy With Godly Boundaries
Boundaries aren’t selfish — they’re sacred. Without boundaries, we give our best energy to the wrong places. We run on empty because we’re pouring into every request, leaving little left for the people and priorities that matter most. Friend, boundaries aren’t about shutting others out; they’re about living in alignment with God’s design.
Guarding the Heart
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
(Proverbs 4:23 NIV)
Scripture reminds us that everything flows from the condition of our heart. Guarding your energy with healthy boundaries isn’t neglect; it’s stewardship. By saying no to what drains, you say yes to what God has truly assigned to you.
Principles for Godly Boundaries
-
Say no with grace. Every yes requires a no. Speak the truth in love.
-
Protect the margin. White space in your life is not wasted time — it’s where God restores you.
-
Honor Sabbath rest. Boundaries include stopping, not just slowing down. God Himself modeled this rhythm.
