Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Proverbs 12:25
Embracing God’s Word Brings Peace, Overcoming Anxiety and Replacing it with Gladness!
Have you ever felt weary, anxious or fearful, uncertain where to turn or how to move forward? Today’s verse provided us wisdom that we must trust Him in all our ways.
God knew from the beginning of time that we would face hardships, sorrows, and challenges. That’s why He has filled His Word with promises of hope, comfort, and peace for us all.
When we allow anxiety and fear to consume us, we become spiritual burden that weighs us down. However, a good word from our Lord is all it takes to lift that burden and make us glad once again.
So today, we must take this verse as a good encouragement and replace our fear and anxiety with faith and trust in Him. Cast all our burdens down put all our cares upon Him, for He is the one who carries our burdens and lifts us up. Seek for His wisdom and guidance in all that we do, and we will find a true peace in the knowledge that His love for us endures forever.
Promise: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
