0822 這些不是你【要解決】的問題
我親愛的孩子，不要緊緊執着於那些你無法解決的處境。把它們全部交給我，完全交給我。你知道當你完全放下這些掛慮時，會發生什麼嗎？你將進入一種你從未經歷過的自由境界。信不信由你，我不需要你對每個問題都進行精神評估才能找到解決辦法。解決問題不是你的工作，再多的憂慮也改變不了任何事情。
有些時候，我需要你做一些事情；有些時候，你必須採取一些步驟才能讓事情步入正軌。但你絞盡腦汁、緊緊抓住問題不放，是找不到答案的。無論如何，這些都不是你的問題，而是我們共同的問題。所以，把棘手的情況交託給我，退後一步，在我的同在中使自己安靜下來。這樣，你就能清楚地聽到我的指引，並體驗到隨之而來的平安。如果我不想要你做任何事，只要你信靠我並找到平安，那麼你必須相信我知道自己正在做什麼。要放手，並信靠我。
對焦慮和膽怯的人說：“要堅強，不要懼怕。看哪，你的神來了！祂乘風破浪為要賜給你得勝！祂來是要向你的敵人復仇【為你報仇】；祂帶着上天之罰降臨，為要拯救你！”——以賽亞書 35:4
0822 These are not your problems
Beloved, don’t hold so tightly to the situations you cannot fix. Give them to me all of them, complete, Do you know what will happen when you fully release those cares? You’ll step into a dimension of freedom unlike anything you’ve ever known. Believe it or not, I don’t need you to mentally assess every problem in order to find a solution. It isn’t your job to fix everything. And no amount of worry is going to change anything.
Sometimes, I need you to do something. Sometimes, there are steps you must take in order to put things on track. But you won’t stumble upon the answers by racking your brain and clenching the problem tightly. They aren’t your problems, anyway. They’re ours–together. So release difficult situations into my hands, step back, and quiet yourself in my presence. Then you will be able to hear my instructions clearly and experience the peace that comes with them. And if I don’t want you to do anything other than to trust me and find peace, you must believe that I know what I’m doing. Let go and trust me.
Say to the anxious and fearful, “Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God! He is breaking through to give you victory! He comes to avenge your enemies. With divine retribution he comes to save you!” –ISAIAH 35:4
