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

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
Some definitions of worry: “to allow one's mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. Fret, be concerned, be anxious, agonize, overthink, brood, panic, lose sleep, get worked up, get stressed, get in a state, stew, torment oneself.”
Do anything of those definitions ring a bell?
If not for you then maybe someone you know? If so, then do yourself and someone else a favor, go find someone to encourage!
Worry can cause saggin', baggin', and dragin'!
Lets get out and cheer someone up today!
Lets make a phone call, send a text, write an email, Facebook message, or better yet, take the time to write and send a note by snail mail (because people still love to get cards delivered to them by his or her mailman)!
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Application

I will find someone to encourage today. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, it is so easy to become discouraged. There are so many things that can cause us to worry and that can weigh us down. Help me to think of someone that needs to be encouraged today and show me the best way to encourage them.
