Proverbs 12:25
25An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
King
Solomon talked of those who are filled with worry or anticipation about
something to come or what one thinks will come. No matter the person,
worry is a sure way to take away days from your life, not add to them as
Jesus said in Matthew 6:27. The apostle Paul talks of being anxious for
nothing but that we must submit our requests to God and with
thanksgiving that we may have peace of mind. Peace of mind is so
valuable. You don't know how important it is until you don't have it or
are in danger of losing it. King Solomon talked of a "kind word"
cheering up a worrier. A constant worrier or one constantly having
anxiety about a situation is actually a spirit of fear. God is not the
author of the spirit of fear. Where you find the spirit of fear, surely
you will not find God in the situation. He does not operate in such a
place. And having a spirit of fear or worry actually blocks your ability
to focus on God. A kind word usually cheers anyone up. But one filled
with the spirit of fear set in worry and anxiety may throw away the kind
or uplifting word just as quick as it's released to them. For some,
they thrive off of it because they think it makes them work harder and
more efficiently. But in actuality, working in fear and anxiety doesn't
keep one at peace so even if they obtain their desired results, they're
too worried to enjoy it. One who is willing to overcome this will
gradually get better with prayer as it will lead to deliverance. Peace
of mind goes a long way.
