Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith. I don't agree at all. They are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ (Good Reads - Letters to Malcom: Chiefly on Prayer). Added 12/9/2017
If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world (Source). Added 3/7/2012

Norman Maclean (1902-1990)
"Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves is to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding (A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, 1976)." Added 10/27/2017 This quote was featured in a movie and the scene is on YouTube.

Alistair Begg (b. 1952)
"Christian faith does not grant immunity from sadness and sickness, from bereavement and disappointment. At least not now! Those who suggest that it does mean the present enjoyment of health and wealth and peace and prosperity appeal to the general desire for well being that marks our culture. But such a story is neither true to the Bible nor to human experience" (What Angels Wish They Knew, P. 195). Added 2/22/2017
