5-8

Do not long for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth.

Begin each day anticipating problems, asking me to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipping is my living presence, my hand never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with me. Take a lighthearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and I together can handle. Remember that I am on your side, and I have overcome the world.

不要渴望生活中沒有問題。這是一個不現實的目標，因為在這個世界上你會遇到麻煩。在天堂已經為你預定了一個直到永遠的無憂無慮的生活。為此產業歡欣吧，這是無人能奪走的，但不要在地上尋找你的天堂。

每一天開始時，期待問題的出現，懇求我裝備你應對將要遇到的任何困難。最好的裝備是我的活潑的同在，我的手永遠不會放開你的手。將所有的事情都拿來跟我商量。對待問題要放鬆，把它看作是一個我們一起可以應對的挑戰。記住，我站在你這邊，我已經勝過了這個世界。
