Going through Issue 12, I realize that I’m not the only one battling the threat of anxiety. The poets and artists in these pages have walked neck-deep in the muck of life. They’ve experienced pain, loneliness, and fear. They’ve been overwhelmed by the ugliness of the world, their doubts, the silence of God, and their own sin and pride. They’ve walked away from Him, and they’ve held Him close, all to find relief from seemingly insurmountable obstacles stacking up like bricks. They’ve tight-roped that razor-thin line between Everything’s OK and How can anything be OK? But in the midst of all their experiences and imaginings, weaving in and out of their creative outpourings, is Jesus — walking with us, quieting the storm inside, reminding us to “Fear not” and to experience His peace, to be still and seek His face. As you read this issue, I hope you are reminded to cling to our Comforter, to abide in Him (John 15:4), and to sit at His feet (Luke 10:38–42) as you cast your anxieties onto Him.
