Make me the focal point of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip my hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence on me.
Instead of yearning for a problem-free life, rejoice that trouble can highlight your awareness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of my face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure joy. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven.
让我成为你寻找安全的焦点。在你的私下的想法中，你仍在努力使自己的世界变得可预测且感到安全。这不仅是一个不可能实现的目标，而且对灵性的成长也适得其反。当你的私人世界感到不稳定，你握住我的手寻求支撑时，你就是在有意识地依赖我。
与其向往一个没有问题的生活，不如为问题突显你对逆境的意识而欢欣鼓舞，这能让你更清晰地看到我脸上的光辉。接受此生问题的价值，将它们视为纯粹的快乐。请记住，你在天堂里有永恒的无忧生活在等着你。
