A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)

Please help me, Lord, in this harsh season of my life. It’s like I am trudging through a vast barren wasteland—alone. I can so relate to the Proverbs verse that speaks of a crushed spirit and how it dries up the bones. Release me from this earthly malady, and replace it with a merry heart. It will be just the medicine I need!
