Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.--- Proverbs 12:25 NLTWorry weighs a person down—But, as this is not favourable to the spiritual life, we have warnings against excessive anxiety (Matthew 6:34), and exhortations to cast all our care upon God (1Peter 5:7; Psalm 37:5) as a religious duty, that trusting in Him, and so having from Him the “peace which the world cannot give,” our hearts may be “set to obey” His commandments.--- Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
