Statement 22 (Vol 4 No 44)

The New Faith does not purport to cure every experience of anxiety.  It advocates the study of anxiety in its many expressions and proposes that every anxiety requires a particular and relevant courage as well as specific scientific and psychological resources to control it and cope constructively with it.


Our faith does not purport to be

A cure for all worry;

But help is there for guiding us

To cope with it constructively.

 

Our spirits can be torn apart

By grief or fear or failure;

We look for solace and for peace;

We long to find a saviour.

 

Each time we feel some pain or stress

We need some special courage;

Accepting some specific help

Can show us how to manage.

 

Revising faith can open up

Resources for more healing,

For those caught in their guilt and fear

Restore life as appealing.
