Help me, dear Jesus, to live out the joy
and peace You’ve given to me. May those who work
with and know me see that joy. And may I always
stand for truth and righteousness.
~ For joy that will last, always put Christ first. ~
【"你要坚强勇敢地去作,不要惧怕,也不要惊惶,因为耶和华 神,就是我的 神,与你同在;他必不撇下你,也不丢弃你,直到耶和华殿的一切工作都完成。"(历代志上二十八20)】
惧怕能使人停顿不前,工作的规模、危险,以及压力,常使我们畏首畏尾。
消除恐惧的良方:不要注视恐惧,要勇敢地展开工作。...
~ 灵修版圣经 ~
...If you know God is leading you in a certain direction, don't give up just because the going gets tough... Keep moving forward boldly with your eyes fixed on God...

Rejoice in the Lord God never moves without purpose or plan When trying His servant and molding a man. Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long; In darkness He giveth a song.
O rejoice in the Lord. He makes no mis-take. He knoweth the end of each path that I take. For when I am tried and puri-fied, I shall come forth as gold.
I could not see through the shadows ahead; So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead. I bowed to the will of the Master that day; Then peace came and tears fled away.
Now I can see testing comes from above; God strengthens His children and purges in love. My Father knows best, and I trust in His care; Through purging more fruit I will bear.
You don’t have to depend only on your own
strength to endure. God offers to help you, giving you strength and his
supernatural power to sustain you. He gives you the strength to keep going when
you are exhausted and the faith to keep going when you are discouraged. ~
