As I read through this article, one phrase forever haunts my mind "Surprise by Joy." This is a phrase used by C.S. Lewis as he looked at life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, and we are surprised by joy.
The weeping may but the joy comes and because Chronos cannot be understood outside of Kairos we are constantly being surprised. We live in Chronos but we belong to Kairos and so the apostle Paul asks us to be anxious for nothing. Anxiety is always about the future whilst panic is about the now.
Let us endeavour to pray without ceasing because this is the cure for panic and anxiety. Somebody once said that tomorrow never comes because "Today is the tomorrow you thought of yesterday."
Peace!!!
