Proverbs is very concerned about your heart, wanting to make sure it's guarded and kept healthy. In Proverbs 13:12, what makes the heart sick when it is deferred or drawn away from it?

If a person loses hope, it hurts the heart by weighing it down physically with anxiety, or by removing any reason to live spiritually. If a person hopes, they always have something to look forward to. Proverbs understands that that's good medicine for your heart.
