Pro 12:25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad
Anxiety refers to a state of restlessness and agitation, often accompanied by a distressing sense of oppression or tightness in the stomach. If this is allowed to go on for long in the life of a person it produces a more serious complex health state of mind that lowers enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future.
But Solomon provides an anti – venom to fight the above ; ” a good word makes it glad”.
The world is full of many anxious and depressed souls looking for a cure . These souls are in need of recommendations,an encouragement ,positive reinforcements and a clap of appreciation which will bring about healing . This can only come from a good God given tongue , seasoned with grace.
Very often, anxiety is tied to feelings of self – doubt, insecurity, and even shame for the situation we are in. A kind word is often just the thing that can cheer up the heart, ” You can do it”, or ” it’ll be ok , ” you are equal to the task… are a good place to start .(Connectus)
Phi 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanks giving, present your request to God.
