A Good Word
What is the good word? When was the last time you shared a good word with someone who needed one? When was the last time you received a good word from someone?
In this anxious life, we can become heavy hearted and weighed down. We need the encouragement and hope of good news.
The wisdom of the Proverbs tells us, “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” (Proverbs 12:25, ESV).
It does not cost us much to share a good word, but the impact can be great encouragement and gladness that will lift the burden of an anxious and heavy heart.
May we experience the gladness of a good word shared and the relief of anxiety and a heavy heart as we receive a good word, and may we provide others the relief they need from burdensome anxiety as we share the good news of hope with them.
A Prayer for Trustfulness in Times of Worry and Anxiety: “Most loving Father, you will us to give thanks for all things, to dread nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on the One who cares for us. Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, and grant that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested unto us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (#80., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
