2012 禁食日记 – 第22天： “忧愁” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 22: “Troubled”
第二十二天（28/08/12)
当我们心里忧愁，感觉挫折，思想有点混乱时，我们就会有念头想要放弃我们所追求和执着的。若继续消极思想下去，真的有些人就会放弃了，或者有一些模糊了视线而走错方向。所以，清楚知道自己的呼召，跟神保守亲密的关系，晓得祷告求神加添力量和鼓励是很重要的。
原来耶稣也有感到忧愁，或者“不知所措”的时候；那时，他就赶快定睛仰望在父神身上，他又看清方向了。眼光与目标对了，路就能继续走了。。。
“我现在心里忧愁，我说什么才好呢？父啊，救我脱离这时候！但我原是为这时候来的。”
～ 约 12:27 ～
Day 22 (28/08/12)
When our heart is troubled, or when we feel defeated and our thoughts get a little disturbed, we would tend to have thoughts of giving up our pursuit and endeavour. If we continue to think negatively, then some people would really give up, or some begin to go the wrong direction as their visions are blurred. Therefore, it is very crucial to know our calling clearly, to maintain an intimate relationship with God, to know how to pray to God to increase our strength and to encourage us.
In fact, Jesus did have moments when He felt troubled or “at a crossroads” too; at such a time, He quickly focussed His eyes on the Father, so He could see clearly again. When your perspective and goal are right, you would be able to carry on the journey…
““Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.”
~ John 12:27 ~
