Worry
Weighs A Person Down;
An Encouraging Word Cheers A Person Up. 

Scripture

Proverbs 12

²⁵ Worry weighs a person down;
    an encouraging word cheers a person up.

Observation

Lets look around and see who needs to be cheered up today! 

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11

It is so easy to get weighed down with worry! 

And it is also very easy to encourage someone who needs to be cheered up!

Application

I will look around and see if I can find someone to encourage today. Who needs a word of encouragement from you today?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I know that worry is a lack of faith on my part. I know that worrying no matter how much of it I do will not change a single thing. So help me to trust You and not worry. Show me today who needs a word of encouragement.

Thank You for all ten of our grandchildren and for Christmas sleepovers at our house. They are all a gift from You.
