June 14 Unburdened

"An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." Proverbs 12:25

God doesn't want us to be anxious because an anxious heart weighs a person down. When we are absorbed in the threat of difficult situations or people, we aren't absorbed in God. While we may have many responsibilities, God doesn't want to burden us with them. We need to let Jesus bear those burdens as he is the Burden Bearer. Prayer is the number one solution to anxiety, but there is another: kind words. Let your life be full of kind words, tell them to yourself and to others. When others offer kind words to you, accept them. God has sent these kind words to you, accept them and don't be anxious.
