The Balm of Anxiety
Anxiety is that menacing cloud that looms over our heads. It seeps into our mind and spirit with its intimidating forces and renders us with apprehension. It is merely an obstacle in the way of our walk toward our freedom. It is a shell that encloses our understanding and breaks when we realize that the pain is only a temporary sojourn and will fly away with the wings of the future.
Our pain is sometimes self chosen. It is in the wandering away from the path that leads to our well-being, and the anxiety takes root from our wandering and renders us fearful. So we must trust in the passing of time to know the course of our convalescence.
The balm of anxiety is the courage to face the future head on with the knowledge of the lessening of the discomfort. It is like a soothing balm that is applied to ease the pain and is the sick self within us that learns how to apply that balm. God bless us.
