Speak Words of Kindness
An anxious heart is heavy,
Causing hopelessness and fright.
But a good word is cheerful;
It fills the heart with delight.
(Based on Proverbs 12:25)
Words are powerful. They can help and they can hurt. They can bring hope and they can bring despair. Nations go to war over words, but they can also bring peace.
Anxiety carries heavy burdens, burdens that need to be lifted. Words have the power to help, to give joy and bring hope to others. A simple kind word can make a difference to those around us. When we notice someone struggling with anxiety, we should take the time to offer a reassuring word and a prayer of faith. Acts of kindness can change burdens to blessings. Who can you encourage today?
