7-19

Bring me all your feelings, even the ones you wish you didn’t have. Fear and anxiety still plague you. Feelings per se are not sinful, but they can be temptations to sin. Blazing missiles of fear fly at you day and night; these attacks from the evil one come at you relentlessly. Use your shield of faith to extinguish those flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in me, regardless of how you feel. If you persist, your feelings will eventually fall in line with your faith.

Do not hide from your fear or pretend it isn’t there. Anxiety that you hide in the recesses of your heart will give birth to fear of fear: a monstrous mutation. Bring your anxieties out into the light of my presence, where we can deal with them together. Concentrate on trusting me, and fearfulness will gradually lose its foothold within you.

把你所有的感受都帶給我，即使是你不希望擁有的感受。恐懼和焦慮會折磨你。感受本身並不是罪惡的，但它們可能成為引誘你犯罪的試探。恐懼的火箭日夜向你飛來；邪惡之力的攻擊毫不停歇地向你襲來。用你堅定的信心的藤牌來撲滅那些燃燒的火箭。無論你感覺如何，要堅定地相信我。如果你堅持下去，你的感受最終會與你的信心一致。

不要躲避你的恐懼或假裝它不存在。你把焦慮隱藏在心裏，它會誕生出“懼怕懼怕”的恐怖變異。把你的焦慮帶到我的麵前，讓我們一起處理它們。專注於相信我，恐懼將逐漸失去在你內心紮根的立足點。
