Henri J.M. Nouwen Quotes

All These "ifs" Fill Our Minds With Anxious Thoughts And Make Us Wonder Constantly What To Do And What To Say In Case Something Should Happen In The Future. Much, If Not Most, Of Our Suffering Is Connected With These Preoccupations. Possible Career Changes, Possible Family Conflicts, Possible Illnesses, Possible Disasters, And A Possible Nuclear Holocaust Make Us Anxious, Fearful, Suspicious, Greedy, Nervous, And Morose. They Prevent Us From Feeling A Real Inner Freedom. Since We Are Always Preparing For Eventualities, We Seldom Fully Trust The Moment. It Is No Exaggeration To Say That Much Human Energy Is Invested In These Fearful Preoccupations.
