Wisdom : The Spiritual Antidote of Worry and Fear
I'm just starting to read a book Why Are You Worrying by Joseph W. Ciarrocchi. And I found a very interesting thing in it.
Worry and fear are so much a part of life that our sacred writings speak about them often. The spiritual antidote to fear and worry seems to be wisdom.
" [With wisdom] Then you may securely go your way; your foot will never stumble; when you lie down, you need not be afraid, when you rest, your sleep will be sweet" (Proverbs 3:24).
But this wisdom is a curious thing. The biblical meaning is surely not mere intellectual knowledge. In fact, many warnings are given to the pretentious and puffed-up. Rather, wisdom is God's wisdom, a gift we are to seek. When Solomon asks this gift of God, he pleases God.
I realized that we might not have the chance to ask this gift of God. Let's ask Him to grant us the gift of wisdom, so that we could sail in this unpredictable sea of life without worry or fear. (-fon-)
I want all of you to be free from worry.
--- 1 Corinthians 7:32
