When secret worlds collide

I love this quote...it articulates for me, the tensions of christian life. I always like to keep it real and honest, and this guy, Henri Nouwen does just that. Christian life is not a happy, clappy, high-on-irrational joy deal. Yes, we have joy, but life is tough too....and i seriously question those who claim that they never doubt, or deny the darkness.

" So I am praying while not knowing how to pray.
I am resting while feeling restless, at peace while
tempted, safe while still anxious, surrounded by a
cloud of light while still in darkness, in love
while still doubting." - Henri Nouwen (from The Road to Daybreak)-
