标 题： 应当一无挂虑
经 节： 应当一无挂虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求，和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。（腓立比书四章6节）
不要忧虑！保罗说，没有一件事能使神的儿女忧虑。保罗清楚了解什么事可以引起忧虑。当时，他的国家正被外国军队占领，且被腐败的君王统治。当时，他因为被人诬告而身陷囹圄，他是在牢狱中写这封信的。他被迫与所爱的分开，他的动机被怀疑，又被人歪曲事实诬告。有些人小看他，认为他只不过做开荒传道的事工。他曾经遭受肉体的伤害，和面对迫在眉睫的死刑运行（哥林多后书十一：23～29）。但保罗说，没有一项危难使得神无法赐下平安。神不见得会把你的问题挪走。然而，祂会背负你的重担，与你同行。祂要你经历那出人意外的平安。你无法完全了解在这种处境时，神如何赐给你平安；你也不需要完全了解神如何降下平安，才能拥有这个经验。因为这平安不只是给那些所谓能够“掌控压力”的人，这平安是给所有的人！你可能知道神要你拥有平安，却又不确定处在当前的情况，是否真的可以得到平安。圣经上教导我们，应当要一无挂虑。神的话语清楚指明：在你所面对的事情中，没有一件对神是太困难、太麻烦、太可怕的。所以，不管你的环境如何，将你的忧虑卸给神，让祂完全的平安掌管你的心。
Be
Anxious for Nothing
Be
anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
Don’t be anxious! Paul said there is nothing
that should cause a child of God to worry. He was well aware of things that
cause anxiety. His nation was occupied by a foreign army and ruled by corrupt
leaders. He was writing from prison, where he was being held as a result of
false accusations. He was separated from those he loved; his motives had been
questioned, and he had been misrepresented. Some were trying to undermine all
that he had accomplished in starting churches. He suffered physically and faced
imminent execution (2 Cor. 11:23–29). Yet Paul said there would never be a
crisis so troubling that God could not bring peace in the midst of it!
God will not necessarily take your
problems away, but He will carry the load for you. He wants you to experience
His peace, which is beyond human comprehension. You will never fully understand
how God could give you peace in some of the situations you face, but you do not
have to understand it in order to experience it. This peace is not just for
those who “handle stress well”; it is for everyone! You may know that God wants
you to experience peace but wonder how this is possible, given what you are
presently facing. Yet, Scripture says to be anxious for nothing. God’s word
clearly indicates that there is nothing you can face that is too difficult, too
troubling, or too fearful for God. No matter what your circumstances are, turn
your anxiety over to God and let His perfect peace guard your heart.
