Tikukhala m’nthawi “yapadela komanso yovuta,” pamene anthu ambili ali ndi nkhawa zoculuka. (2 Timoteyo 3:1) Ambili akukumana ndi mavuto a zacuma, kutha kwa mabanja, nkhondo, matenda oopsa amene afala, ndi ngozi zacilengedwe kapena zimene zimacitika cifukwa ca zocita za anthu. Kuonjezela apo, anthu ena amakhala ndi nkhawa zaumwini ndipo amadzifunsa kuti, ‘Kodi ndidzakhala ndi khansa ya pakhungu?’ ‘Nanga zinthu zidzakhala bwanji adzukulu anga akakula?’
N’zoona kuti nkhawa zonse si zoipa. Mwacibadwa, timada nkhawa tikafuna kucita zinthu zina monga poyamba kulemba mayeso, pofunsidwa mafunso oloŵela nchito, ndi poyembekeza zotulukapo zake. Komanso kuopa zinthu zina kumatithandiza kupewa ngozi. Komabe, kukhala ndi nkhawa zopitilila muyeso kungatibweletsele mavuto.

Pofuna kutithandiza, Yesu anafunsa kuti: “Ndani wa inu amene angatalikitse moyo wake pang’ono pokha mwa kuda nkhawa?” Kukamba zoona, nkhawa sizingatalikitse moyo wa munthu. Conco, Yesu anatilangiza kuti: “Lekani kudela nkhawa.” (Mateyu 6:25, 27) Koma, kodi tingacite ciani kuti tileke kuda nkhawa?
