5-6

Do not search for security in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become.

There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your attention on my presence with you. This continual contact with me will keep you in my peace. Moreover, I will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (my presence).

不要在你所居住的世界中尋找安全感。你傾向於製作心理清單，列出需要做的事情，以掌控自己的生活。如果你能完成清單上的所有事項，就可以放鬆並獲得內心的平靜。但是，你越努力去實現這個目標，清單上就會湧現更多的事項。你越努力，就會越沮喪。

在這個生命中，有更好的找到安全感的方式。不要過度關注你的清單，而要將注意力集中在我與你的同在。與我保持不斷的聯係，將使你安居在我的平安中。此外，我將幫助你區分什麽是重要的，什麽不是，什麽需要立即完成，什麽不需要。不要著眼於所見之物（你的環境），而是著眼於所不見的（我的同在）。
