A GOOD WORD

THE CURE FOR ANXIETY

Concerns about your health, finances, children or other life issues causes anxiety. A bad report from the doctor, a disturbing phone call or distress in your community or nation can create fear which can cause more complexities.

Anxiety is the result of worry and fear. When you are overwhelmed by anxiety it will make your world look darker and limit your faith and ability to cope. It will magnify the problem and make your heart heavy. The cure is a good word.....

Proverbs 12:25 (KJV)

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.  

Too often we allow negative thoughts and the actuality of our situation to rule and govern our feelings and happiness. You should practice speaking the word that relates to your situation to overcome the thoughts and cancel out fear.
