9-20

Try to see things more and more from my perspective. Let the light of my presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through me. When little things don't go as you had hoped, look to me lightheartedly and say, "Oh, well." This simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: you realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to me, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart.

When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.

試著越來越多地從我的角度看待事物。讓我同在之光完全充滿你的思維，使你透過我的眼睛看世界。當小事不如你所期望時，輕鬆地看向我並說：“哦，好吧。” 這種簡單的操練可以保護你免於被瑣碎的憂慮和挫折所累積。如果你認真實踐這一點，你將會有一個改變生命的發現：你會意識到大部分讓你擔憂的事情並不重要。如果你立刻擺脫它們，重新聚焦於我，你將會以更輕鬆的步伐和愉快的心情度過你的日子。 當嚴重的問題出現在你麵前時，你將會有更多的儲能來應對它們。你不會在瑣碎的問題上浪費你的能量。你甚至可能達到這樣一個境界，你可以同意使徒保羅的看法，即與永恒的榮耀相比，你所有的麻煩都是至暫至輕的。
