![]() Anxiety about the future steals joy from the present. So, he said, ∽o not worry about tomorrow (Matthew 6:34). ![]() Jesus urged his followers to remember that God even takes care of the birds of the air and will surely care for us in our needs. If they mean freedom from anxiety then Im all for it. It would be helpful if those who speak much about peace of mind would define a bit more carefully what they mean. As desirable as peace of mind is, sometimes our minds and spirits need to be troubled. That is not something Im inclined to get behind. ![]() ![]() Occasionally I have heard peace of mind promoted as a value that is the end-all-and-be-all of spirituality. And while I dont think it is the intention of those who celebrate peace of mind, at times it sounds like a goal that is self-absorbed and solipsistic. I have to confess: I have conflicted feelings about peace of mind. ![]()
