Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Proverbs 12:25
This scripture jumped out at me today. I have read it a hundred times. But today the Lord revealed to me a truth that I know my husband needs. I am his helper (Gen. 2). I am placed here to lift him up and give him "good words", not words of discouragement but encouragement.
I am sure we are not the only ones whose job often brings about anxieties and stresses that if left unattended could really drive you crazy - literally! The great thing about a coaches' wives association is knowing and sharing things to help each other. So, if nothing else comes from this, know that - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
One thing we do have to remember is that our own words will fade away but God's words have the power to change lives! So, when we go looking for that 'right thing to say when it's really bad', look to the scriptures. That is where life is. That is where we find hope, peace, encouragements, and words that are on a foundation that will never move (Luke 6).
