Denalyn and I happily dedicate this book to Tom and Silvia Cusick. Thank you for your friendship, generosity, and hospitality. Your mountain home provided the perfect setting to complete this book.
W e arent enjoying life as much as we used to. Concerns and worries rule our thoughts and actions. Potential for misfortune keeps us up at night. We worry about raising kids, mounting bills, the state of the country, and the state of our health. What-ifs and if-onlys collide to create a thunderstorm of fear. We feel like we are one crisis away from an emotional meltdown or panic attack.
Where can we turn? Or, better asked, to whom can we turn?
Henri Nouwen tells the story of a family of trapeze artists known as the Rodleighs. He traveled with the Rodleighs for a time, watching them fly through the air with elegant poise. When he asked one of the flyers the secret of successful acrobatic flight, the athlete gave this reply:
The secret is that the flyer does nothing and the catcher does everything. When I fly..., I have simply to stretch out my arms and hands and wait for Joe [my catcher] to catch me and pull me safely over the apron.... The worst thing the flyer can do is to try to catch the catcher. I am not supposed to catch Joe. Its Joes task to catch me. If I grabbed Joes wrists, I might break them, or he might break mine, and that would be the end for both of us. A flyer must fly, and a catcher must catch, and the flyer must trust, with outstretched arms, that his catcher will be there for him.
I F YOUVE BEEN TREMBLING ON A TIGHTROPE OF FEAR AND WORRY, MAY I SUGGEST THE BEST SOLUTION EVER ? A N EXCHANGE: YOUR CARES FOR G ODS CALM .
In the great trapeze act of salvation, God is the Catcher; we are the flyers. We trust. We rely solely upon Gods ability to catch us. As we do, a wonderful thing happens: we find peace. We find joy. We find it is possible to be anxious for nothing.
If youve been trembling on a tightrope of fear and worry, may I suggest the best solution ever? A trade. An exchange: your cares for Gods calm. Youll fly a lot freer without allowing worries to weigh you down. And in their place, youll receive the Lords mercy, goodness, and peace.
Are you ready to worry less and trust more? The path to peace is paved with prayer.
Rather than react to circumstances with clenched hands, reach out to the Father with outstretched arms. Hes waiting to catch you, take hold of your anxieties, and in the process, trade your cares for his calm.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:68).
Theres a stampede of fear out there. Lets not get caught in it. Let others breathe the polluted air of anxiety, not us. Lets be numbered among those who hear a different voice, Gods. We will incline our ears upward. We will turn to our Maker, and because we do, we will fear less.
Fearless
I ts a low-grade fear. An edginess, a dread. A cold wind that wont stop howling.
Its not so much a storm as it is the certainty that one is coming. Always... coming. Sunny days are just an interlude. You cant relax. Cant let your guard down. All peace is temporary, short-term.
So you dont sleep well.
You dont laugh often.
You dont enjoy the sun.
You dont whistle as you walk.
And when others do, you give them a look.
