"Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up." -Proverbs 12:25 (NIV)
Today at work we were discussing anxiety. We noted that there seems to be an increase in the number of people diagnosed with some form of an anxiety disorder. We talked about the changes in how anxiety is diagnosed and the reactions to the disorders in family life, education, and the work force. One thing we didn't discuss was how to remedy the anxiety.
Reading the Bible, we can learn of one remedy for anxiety - a cheerful word! While a cheerful word may not cure all anxiety, a friendly, kind exchange can go a long way in easy tension and calming nerves and fear. Through kindness, we can at least take the edge off of the anxiety others may be feeling. We should strive to act and speak in love and kindness and may in the process ease anxiety!
Help remedy anxiety through kind words!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the comfort and love You provide for me. Help me to show Your love to others and to assist in calming anxiety of those around me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
