Anxiety in the Heart

Scripture Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.

Observation: This is a great scripture for Getting Over Depression. Anxiety is the opposite of faith. To be anxious in the heart is to have no hope, which is what causes depression. Depression is the absence of hope and faith, but a good word heals that anxiety. Jesus says there is no one good but God, so a good word is God’s word. If you read His word, you’ll realize there is nothing to be anxious about and you will be able to set those anxious thoughts and depression at the foot of the cross.

Application: I need to practice what I preach. Even though I read my bible everyday it is becoming more of a routine, than spending time in God’s word. I need to meditate and understand what God is saying and who He is, my heavenly Father who cares for me. I need to let go of these bad thoughts that occupy my time and spend more time with my Lord.

Prayer: My Lord and my God release me from these anxious thoughts that are devouring my life, they can only come from Satan and fill my heart with your word and love. I love you Lord and want to finish well.
