the question is how can one have a merry heart? in Galatians5:22-26-But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. this teaching was addressed by the Apostle Paul to the Galatians who practice the works of the flesh: Galatians5:19-21. in short if we are of Christ’s our body will be rested from sins (Matthew11:28-30) therefore no negative feeling will interrupt the flow of the divine and positive attitude and behavior in the person. medical science has observed that the body of persons who having positive behavior and attitude produces a kind of hormone that enhances the immune system which can eliminate or neutralize viruses and bacteria that cause the sickness to a person. the reverse effects to the person who indulges in the works of the flesh. because that person will always feel miserable and as Apostle Paul teaches “they which do such things (adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance or licentiousness, emulations, wrath, strife, dissensions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: Galatians 19-21) shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” i.e. a person who indulges in these worldly works of the flesh: “but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22 & 15:13-14).
I do agree that by pitiing one’s self crete a lot of negative views. It is much better to begin with praising God 0ur Father 0ur Lord Jesus and The Divine Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and love. keep our minds focused
of these things and the advisary, will not be able to draw us away from the truth
IT IS A FACT OF LIFE THAT WHEN YOU PRAISE GOD HE RAISES YOU. IF YOU WANT GOD TO MAKE YOUR BED WHEN YOU ARE SICK PRASE HIM AND YOUR HEART WILL BE FILLED WITH JOY
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: makes one complete fruit.
when we read more and more bible. Prov 3:3Write them upon the tablet of thy heart: prov 4:4, My tongue is the pen of a ready writer Ps 45:1
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebw 4:12. and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free Jn 8:32
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Jn 8:36
Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty.IIcor 3:17

Yeah, a merry heart forgives and loves[that is the good it does], but a hopeless spirit cannot live. Therefore, it does.

Yes indeed a heart of joy keeps a person alive, but a hopeless heart will always drag the owner quickly to death.. That’s written.
