Our lives are seriously in turmoil most of the time. So we feel that anxiety as a general condition. We go in an out of worry fear, and a lack of trust in Him. Because we are made by Him to feel low so that we can get serious about helping others who are struggling. God leaves the games for kids, because kids are always looking for an escape from the heat, and so we must at some point become serious adults and see the suffering around us and feel that suffering, making an effort always to go and carry our brothers in Christ. So God does things in our lives to make us feel the weight of our own inability. See we actually live in a leprosy camp. Thats the communion of the saints. Everyone who attends to the state of his heart as a general practice will feel a communion with those saints around him that are physically and mentally exhausted. His interest are not on the world and the things of the world. These things are the cause of all of the deep seated problems and sorrows that attend people. There is enough sorrow over sin that any one who is spiritually alert can understand.  So we live with the lepers if we truly take Christ love seriously. We live as beggars who are so over whelmed with the natural state of our unbelief that we would seek Him until we know Him to be in that situation in which we find our disposition to rest on. He is with that low and sinking disposition.  Christ is not with the high and self sufficient. They pass by all of His communication in this life , because they live as if they need nothing. But Christ begins to communicate His love to us when we go down to the reality of the level of our sorrow. There He is, waiting for us, and yes He is there to comfort and assure us of His presence. And as we lower ourselves in the true spiritual state then we will begin to see the real world. We will begin to see the sufferings of Christ as the most glorious communication of His love to us. This is the mind set of a true believer.
