Share a Good Word!

Share a Good Word!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are glad when someone shares a good word. In Jesus’ name, amen.

If you are experiencing anxiety, you are not alone. According to National Center for Health Statistics, “In 2019, 8.1% of adults aged 18 and over had symptoms of anxiety disorder.”

Proverbs 12:25 (ESV) is about the effects of anxiety, and how you can have the opposite impact on another person.

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,
but a good word makes him glad.”

Realize your words can have a positive impact. When given the chance, make sure to affirm and encourage others.

Great Anxiety and Vexation!

Great Anxiety and Vexation!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for all those who have great anxiety and vexation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Hannah had no children and according to 1 Samuel 1:14-18 (ESV) she was in distress. Eli, the priest, was sitting at the entrance to the temple when he observed her. At first, he thought she was drunk. After she explained, she came away with a blessing.

“And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” But Hannah answered, No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.’ Then Eli answered, ‘Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him.’ And she said, ‘Let your servant find favor in your eyes.’ Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.”

Eli encouraged Hanna. Eventually, she became pregnant with Samuel, and dedicated him to the Lord as she promised.

God’s timing is always perfect. If you are anxious and vexed, trust him with all of your heart.
