1110 与我一起面对恐惧
有时，直面恐惧意味着与我一起正面迎击它。这意味着不躲在否认背后，也不把恐惧深埋心底。当你发现自己站在争战的正中间时，不要站在我身后，站在我身旁。抓住我的手，让我们一起向前迈进。诚实地面对你的恐惧，邀请我进入你每一个恐惧之中，让我成为掌管它们的主。
你所面临的最大挑战之一，就是对将要发生之事的恐惧——害怕某件事可能发生，也可能不会发生。仇敌想要把恐惧植入你的里面。牠想让你认为，我可能并不像你所相信的那样良善。牠扼杀盼望，牠竭力偷走你对我的信靠。最重要的是，牠是一个说谎者！我是良善的，即使看似我尚未回应，其实我已经回应了。终有一天，你会对这些艰难挑战看得更清楚。现在，请记住：当患难正面直直盯着你时，正是你发现自己真正有多坚强的时候。当你面对恐惧时，我的能力会像磁铁一样被吸引到你那里。我与你同在，我们会一起走过这一切。
不要向恐惧屈服，因为我总在你身边。永远不要把你的目光从我身上移开，因为我是你信实的神。我会用我的力量充满你，并在每一个处境中帮助你。我必用我得胜的右手牢牢扶持你。——以赛亚书 41:10
1110 Face fear with me
Sometimes confronting your fear means facing it head on with me. It means not hiding behind denial or shoving that fear down deep. When you find yourself standing in the middle of the battle, don’t stand behind me. Stand next to me. Grab my hand and let’s forge ahead together. Be honest about your fears. Invite me into every one of them and make me Lord over them.
One of the biggest challenges you face is the dread of what may come–the fear that something may or may not happen. The enemy wants to plant terror inside of you. He wants you to think that I may not be as good as you’ve believed me to be. He kills hope. He works to steal your trust in me. More than anything, he is a liar! I am good. Even when it seems I haven’t answered, I have. One day, you will gain clarity regarding these difficult challenges. For now, remember: when trouble is staring you in the face, that’s when you discover how strong you really are. When you face fear, my power will be drawn to you like a magnet. I am with you. We’ll get through this, together.
Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand. –ISAIAH 41:10
