Build Guardrails
Escape the Trap
Day 5
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23
Guardrails aren’t signs of weakness — they are signs of wisdom. They keep you from going places you don’t want to go. They protect the progress you’ve fought hard for.
A guardrail is anything that keeps you from the edge:
Deleting certain apps.
Blocking numbers.
Setting bedtime routines.
Not being alone in certain places.
Letting someone else hold you accountable.
Choosing environments that match the life you want, not the life you left.
Build guardrails before the moment hits. Your future self will thank you.
Hope grows where wisdom builds walls.
Prayer for your day
God, help me build practical guardrails that protect my heart and keep me on Your path.
Put it in action
Pick one guardrail you will put in place today — deleting an app, blocking a number, tightening a routine, setting an earlier bedtime, choosing a safer environment, or inviting accountability.
Guardrails become habits when you start with just one.
Build the first wall of protection today.

Guardrails don’t limit me — they protect the freedom God is building.
