"Desperate to avoid future pain, we also miss out on today's pleasure. Far too often we get a glimpse of a potential catastrophe and, as a result, we hole up inside, eyes on the sky, heart tied up in knots, fearful of a future that may or may not happen. A failed relationship, an unexpected diagnosis, a potential rejection, or a professional failure. Desperate to avoid future pain, we also miss out on today's pleasure -- God's present goodness to us right here, right now, exactly where we are."
