Proverbs 12:25 says "anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad."

Many worries are in a man's heart but our words have the power to uplift. Through our words, we have the power to share kindness, affirmation, encouragement and good news. With just a few kind words, you can change a person's day, encourage their faith and even save a life.

As you encounter people each day, whether at work, the grocery store, school, church or the comment section of social media, remember to be kind. Words matter.

Proverbs 3:5 says to trust in the Lord with all your heart.

To trust in someone is to put something valuable in their hands because we feel confident in their ability to deliver, to protect, and to keep. What a place of vulnerability and surrender.

Who better to trust with our future than the one who knows the plans He has for us? He knows the end from the beginning. So, whatever you're facing, just seek Him and trust Him. Say, "I trust you, Lord." Let go of fear, doubt and pride and say "Lord, I don't know, but you know and I trust you." "Lord, where you lead me, I will follow." "Lord, I can't do it but you can."

Remember, our trust is not in man or our own knowledge and ability but in a mighty and good God full of power, wisdom, grace and love.
