A Joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NASB)
I believe that a joyful heart is a thankful heart. It is finding something to be thankful for each day. Maybe you are suffering with loss. Maybe you have been hurt deeply by someone and you are having a hard time forgiving.
All of these are difficult to bounce back from, but I believe, with God’s help you can be thankful. I have faced hurt from another person and I decided to give God praise during the pain and joy filled my heart.
Be Encouraged! God wants us to keep joy in our heart. When you have a broken spirit, ask God to restore your joy. He will answer your prayer.
