God is with us in all our struggles.

在各样患难中，上帝都与我们同在。

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉上帝。-腓立比书4章6节

“I’m really scared.” This was the poignant note a teenager posted to friends on Facebook as she told them of some upcoming medical tests. She was facing hospitalization and a series of procedures in a city three hours from home and anxiously waited as doctors tried to discover the source of some serious medical problems she was experiencing.

一个十几岁的女孩在社群网站通知朋友自己将做医疗检查，留下这句令人心疼的话：“我真的很害怕！”这个女孩因为健康出现问题，必须前往离家三小时的市区医院，准备住院，进行一连串的检查，然后忐忑不安地等待医生确定她到底患了什么恶疾。

Who of us, in youth or later years, has not felt similar fears when facing unwanted life events that are truly frightening? And where can we turn for help? What comfort can we find from Scripture to give us courage in these kinds of situations?

不管是年老或年少，谁没经历过类似的恐惧害怕呢？发生意想不到的事常令人措手不及，我们能向谁求助？面临这样的处境，我们能从哪些圣经经文找到安慰，得到勇气去面对问题呢？

The reality that God will go with us through our trial can help us to hope. Isaiah 41:13 tells us, “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.’ ”

以赛亚书41章13节告诉我们：“因为我耶和华你的上帝必搀扶你的右手，对你说，不要害怕！我必帮助你。”身为基督徒，我们知道上帝必与我们同行，领我们度过艰难，在绝望中仍有盼望。

In addition, God offers indescribable, heart-guarding peace when we present our difficulties to Him in prayer (Phil. 4:6–7).

此外，只要我们藉着祷告将困难告诉上帝，祂就赐下出人意外的平安，保守我们的心怀意念（腓立比书4章6-7节）。

Through God’s unfailing presence and His peace that “transcends all understanding” (v. 7), we can find the hope and help we need to endure situations in which we are really scared.

在我们惊惶害怕的时候，别忘了我们有上帝的同在，以及祂出人意外的平安（7节），让我们可以得到盼望和帮助，度过难关。

Dear heavenly Father, when I am afraid, 

remind me that You hold my hand 

and give me peace.

 I’m grateful that I can lean into

 Your arms and find help 

when I’m scared. You are good to me.

天父，在我感到惊恐时，

让我谨记祢必搀扶我的手，
赐给我平安。我要感谢祢，

因我害怕时，
能倚靠在祢的臂膀中得以坚固。

祢是何等恩待我！

Philippians 4:4-9New International Version (NIV)

Final Exhortations

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

腓立比书 4:4-9Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified) (CUVMPS)

门徒当在主里喜乐

4 你们要靠主常常喜乐，我再说，你们要喜乐！ 5 当叫众人知道你们谦让的心。主已经近了。 6 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。 7 神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念。

凡可称赞的都要思念

8 弟兄们，我还有未尽的话，凡是真实的、可敬的、公义的、清洁的、可爱的、有美名的，若有什么德行，若有什么称赞，这些事你们都要思念。 9 你们在我身上所学习的、所领受的、所听见的、所看见的，这些事你们都要去行，赐平安的神就必与你们同在。
