Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a good word makes it glad. Proverbs 12:25 invites us to find strength in God’s Word and share its encouragement with a brother or sister who needs it.

Proverbs 15:15 describes a cheerful heart with a continual feast. Reflect on joy and satisfaction in Christ that endure affliction, drawing encouragement from Paul and Silas praising God in prison.
