Expect to encounter adversity in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for me. When you became Christian, I infused my very life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on me.

Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where I want you – the best place to encounter me in my glory and power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to me! Allow me to fight for you. Watch me working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of my almighty presence.

期望在你的生活中遇到逆境，記住你生活在一個深陷墮落的世界裏。停止試圖尋找繞過困難的方法。輕鬆的生活其主要的問題在於它掩蓋了你對我的需求。當你成為基督徒時，我將我的生命融入了你，使你能夠通過倚靠我在超自然的層麵上生活。

預期將麵對不可能的事情：完全超出你能力範圍的局麵。對於你的無能感的這種意識並不是你應該試圖逃避的。這恰恰是我想要你處於的地方 - 遇見我榮耀和能力的最佳地方。當你看到問題的大軍朝著你前進時，向我呼求！讓我為你而戰。看著我為你效力，而你在我的全能同在的陰庇下安息。
