Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
You’ve probably heard it said that “worrying about it won’t solve anything.” And while there’s truth in that, choosing not to dwell on painful things isn’t as easy as flipping a switch. But with God’s help, you can overcome a crushed spirit with the joy of the Lord: the abundant happiness that comes from having a relationship with Him. You’re a beloved child of the One who holds the stars in place, and who commands the wind and waves with His voice. He came and lived as a man, dying for your sins so that you could spent forever in paradise with Him. Until then, pain is an ever-present part of life. It can’t be avoided, but it can be overcome by a joyful heart that is secure in Christ!
