Hello Greatness,
One of the reasons why you need to GAURD your heart/mind is in order to GAURD your emotions.
There are thoughts that automatically influence your mood and drive you into negative emotions.
You can think yourself into joy and think yourself into depression
The reason why we fluctuate in mood is because we have conflicting emotions via wrong thought pattern
The truth is that emotions powered naturally can only take you far,we need the spirit powered emotions that are not subject to theft or happenings to take us further in destiny
This is why once you give into the flesh/sin,it steals your joy
Sin steals your peace
One of the consequences of sin is the torment of your conscience and dis-regulation of your emotions.
The helmet of salvation protects your thoughts from manipulation,this is why living righteously with the help of the holy spirit is one way to GAURD your emotions
One easy way to know if you are in the flesh is when you continue to struggle with Guilt,regret,shame and anxiety.
The kingdom of God is righteousness,peace and joy in the holy ghost
Guarding your emotions is giving the remote control to the holy spirit, who helps you regulate them
