 If you will ask God one
question this morning?
What question will that be?
“An anxious heart
weighs a man down,
but a kind word
cheers him up.” 
Proverbs 12:25
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but
a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Proverbs 17:22
Why is a joyful heart is
so important?
Because of the truth of Romans 8:28 .

“And we know that in all things God

work for the good of those who love
him, who have been called according to
his purpose.”
 Your attitude, the way
you approach the
problems and trials of life,
brings about good healing
 1. Cultivate your relationship with God.

• Make sure that you spend time with

the Lord. Don’t just seek peace with
God, but remember we have peace
with God through the Lord Jesus
Christ.  (Romans 5:1)
 2. Cultivate a forgiving spirit.
• Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind to
one another, tenderhearted and
gentle, forgiving one another as
God for Christ’s sake has forgiven
you.” 
 3. Be a load lifter, not a burden maker.

• Galatians 6:2 says, “Carry each other’s

burdens, and in this way you will fulfill
the law of Christ.” 
4. Listen to good music.

•God gave us good music

and told us to sing psalms
and hymns and spiritual
songs to lift the heart.
 5. Live a life of active love
• Get involved in the lives of other
people and you will have a cheerful
heart.
