Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.Joshua 1:9.{SD 197.1}[1]

惟有感受上帝的同在,才能消除恐惧。这种恐惧会使弱者视人生为重累。让他记住这个应许:「耶和华的使者,在敬畏祂的人四周安营,搭救他们」。让他阅读伊莱沙在山城中的奇妙故事。当时有大队的天使,驻扎在他与敌军之间。让他阅读彼得被定死罪、关在监狱中时,上帝的使者显现了,领着祂的仆人安全地越过武装的卫兵和紧锁的铁门。让他阅读那身为囚犯的保罗,在前去受审赴难的途中,向那些在狂风巨浪中饥饿疲劳,筋疲力尽的士兵和水手们所说鼓励与希望的豪言壮语:「现在我还劝你们放心!你们的性命,一个也不失丧。……因我所属所事奉的上帝,祂的使者昨夜站在我旁边说:保罗,不要害怕,你必定站在西泽面前;并且与你同船的人,上帝都赐给你了」。事情果然如此。因为在船上有一位上帝的工人,全船的外邦士兵和水手都保住了性命。「众人都得了救上了岸」。……{SD197.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第192章
Only the sense of God’s presence can banish the fear that, for the timid child, would make life a burden. Let him fix in his memory the promise, “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” Let him read that wonderful story of Elisha in the mountain city, and, between him and the hosts of armed foemen, a mighty encircling band of heavenly angels. Let him read how to Peter, in prison and condemned to death, God’s angel appeared; how, past the armed guards, the massive doors and great iron gateway with their bolts and bars, the angel led God’s servant forth in safety. Let him read of that scene on the sea, when to the tempest-tossed soldiers and seamen, worn with labor and watching and long fasting, Paul the prisoner, on his way to trial and execution, spoke those grand words of courage and hope: “Be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you.... For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar; and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.” In the faith of this promise Paul assured his companions, “There shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.” So it came to pass. Because there was in that ship one man through whom God could work, the whole ship-load of heathen soldiers and sailors was preserved....{SD 197.2}[2]

当教导那些怀疑自己,缺乏自信,在责任面前畏缩不前的人倚靠上帝。这样,许多世界上本来无足轻重,甚仅为累赘的人,竟能与使徒保罗同说:「我靠着那加给我力量的,凡事都能做」。{SD197.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第192章
Let the self-distrustful, whose lack of self-reliance leads them to shrink from care and responsibility, be taught reliance upon God. Thus many a one who otherwise would be but a cipher in the world, perhaps only a helpless burden, will be able to say with the apostle Paul, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”22{SD 197.3}[3]
