THE ANTIDOTE FOR ANXIETY
ROMA WATERMAN, MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA
A wise person said to me the other day, "The opposite of anxiety isn't peace—it's wonder." That stopped me in my tracks. You thought you needed peace, but maybe what your soul is really craving is wonder.
Grief has dulled the colors. Anxiety has narrowed your world to what could go wrong. Disappointment has caused you to stop dreaming, to stop noticing beauty. Somewhere you stopped being surprised by God, but the antidote to despair is not trying to "get things under control."
It's awe... holy wonder... that childlike gasp when the sacred breaks into the ordinary. It's that breathless pause when Heaven touches earth. It's found in the lily that opens when it's ready, when the ladybug unexpectedly crawls across your hand, when the songbird sings in the dawn, when art moves your soul, when a movie makes you laugh or cry. Wonder is everything nostalgic. It's beauty in action. It's the colored brushstroke of God on the empty canvas of you. And I hear the Lord whispering, "Let me awaken your wonder again."
Look up. The sky still sings. The Spirit is still moving. The story is not over...
Sit by the ocean. Throw stones across the river. Go to an art gallery. Do things that nourish your soul, and you will be surprised at how it settles you and speaks to the deepest parts of you. God's creation is not just here to hold your frame; it's here to remind you of His wonder, restore you, and unleash you back into joyful living.
You may feel tired, numb, disappointed, but your heart was made for wonder. Let it rise again by opening yourself to the simple things around you. Lift your eyes; wonder is returning.
"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." (Job 5:9 NIV)
