我很害怕⋯⋯

一個十幾歲的女孩在社群網站通知朋友自己將做醫療檢查，留下這句令人心疼的話：「我真的很害怕！」這個女孩因為健康出現問題，必須前往離家三小時的市區醫院，準備住院，進行一連串的檢查，然後忐忑不安地等待醫生確定她到底患了什麼惡疾。

不管是年老或年少，誰沒經歷過類似的恐懼害怕呢？發生意想不到的事常令人措手不及，我們能向誰求助？面臨這樣的處境，我們能從哪些聖經經文找到安慰，得到勇氣去面對問題呢？

以賽亞書41章13節告訴我們：「因為我耶和華你的上帝必攙扶你的右手，對你說，不要害怕！我必幫助你。」身為基督徒，我們知道上帝必與我們同行，領我們度過艱難，在絕望中仍有盼望。

此外，只要我們藉著禱告將困難告訴上帝，祂就賜下出人意外的平安，保守我們的心懷意念（腓立比書4章6-7節）。

在我們驚惶害怕的時候，別忘了我們有上帝的同在，以及祂出人意外的平安（7節），讓我們可以得到盼望和幫助，度過難關。

天父，在我感到驚恐時，讓我謹記祢必攙扶我的手，
賜給我平安。我要感謝祢，因我害怕時，
能倚靠在祢的臂膀中得以堅固。祢是何等恩待我！

在各樣患難中，上帝都與我們同在。

靈糧透視:

彼得、保羅和西拉絕對有理由擔心憂慮。使徒行傳12章記述了希律王殘害教會，將彼得監禁了七、八天，並準備將他處以死刑（2-6節）。但彼得並沒有因為即將到來的審判和死亡而輾轉難眠，聖經描述他「睡在兩個兵丁當中」（6節）。彼得所經歷的平安，只有藉著信靠上帝才能得著。

保羅和西拉遭受殘酷地鞭打，並坐了冤獄（使徒行傳16章22-24節）。他們也不擔心憂慮，反而整夜讚美上帝（25節）。在生命飽受威脅的景況中，他們卻經歷了喜樂與平安。

這正是保羅在腓立比書4章6-7節中所說的平靜安穩。當我們因生活中的各種磨難而憂愁掛慮，以致夜不能寐時，可以向主耶穌傾心吐意。我們可以把一切的焦慮卸給祂，因為祂顧念我們（彼得前書5章7節）。誠然，我們可以與大衛一同宣告：「我必安然躺下睡覺，因為獨有祢耶和華使我安然居住。」（詩篇4篇8節）

你正飽受焦慮之苦嗎？不妨默想詩篇16篇7-11節，並懇求上帝幫助你，經歷從祂而來的喜樂與平安。

“I’m really scared.” This was the poignant note a teenager posted to friends on Facebook as she told them of some upcoming medical tests. She was facing hospitalization and a series of procedures in a city three hours from home and anxiously waited as doctors tried to discover the source of some serious medical problems she was experiencing.

Who of us, in youth or later years, has not felt similar fears when facing unwanted life events that are truly frightening? And where can we turn for help? What comfort can we find from Scripture to give us courage in these kinds of situations?

The reality that God will go with us through our trial can help us to hope. Isaiah 41:13 tells us, “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.’ ”

In addition, God offers indescribable, heart-guarding peace when we present our difficulties to Him in prayer (Phil. 4:6–7).

Through God’s unfailing presence and His peace that “transcends all understanding” (v. 7), we can find the hope and help we need to endure situations in which we are really scared.

Dear heavenly Father, when I am afraid, remind me that You hold my hand and give me peace. I’m grateful that I can lean into Your arms and find help when I’m scared. You are good to me.

God is with us in all our struggles.

INSIGHT:

Peter, Paul, and Silas had many reasons to worry. Acts 12 describes Peter’s unjust imprisonment by King Herod for seven to eight days and his upcoming trial—with death the nearly certain outcome (vv. 2–6). But Peter didn’t lose any sleep over his trial and impending death; the Scriptures record he “was sleeping between two soldiers” (v. 6). Peter experienced the peace that can come only through trusting God.

Paul and Silas were brutally beaten and unjustly imprisoned (Acts 16:22–24). Instead of worrying, they praised God through the night (v. 25). They experienced joy and peace in the midst of life’s terrors.

This is the tranquility Paul wrote about in Philippians 4:6–7. When we can’t sleep because we’re troubled by the trials of life, we can talk to our Good Shepherd. We can cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Surely we can say with David, “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe” (Ps. 4:8 nlt).

Are you struggling with anxiety? Why not meditate on Psalm 16:7–11 and ask God to help you experience the joy and peace that come from Him. Sim Kay Tee
