March 12- Proverbs 12:25

Proverbs 12:25 says, "Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression. But a good word makes it glad."

If we allow anxiety to fill our heart and continue to do so, it will cause depression. (See the doctors are right, stress will cause depression.) When we have anxiety, like we all do sometimes, then we need to give it over to the Lord and fill our mind with what His word says. "Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 and "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7

Bring your cares to the Lord today and allow His Word to permemate your heart & mind, then allow His peace to flood your mind and heart. Don't allow your understanding to get in the way. He can do things that we don't even understand!
