• 箴言 3:5-6

5你要专心仰赖耶和华， 不可倚靠自己的聪明， 6在你一切所行的路上都要认定他， 他必使你的道路平直。

• 诗篇 91:1-16

1住在至高者隐密处的， 必住在全能者的荫下。 2我要向耶和华说： “我的避难所、我的山寨、 我的上帝，你是我所倚靠的。” 3他必救你脱离捕鸟者的罗网 和毁灭人的瘟疫。 4他必用自己的翎毛遮蔽你； 你要投靠在他翅膀底下， 他的信实是大小的盾牌。 5你必不怕黑夜的惊骇， 或是白日飞的箭， 6也不怕黑夜流行的瘟疫， 或是午间灭人的灾害。 7虽有千人仆倒在你旁边， 万人仆倒在你右边， 这灾却不得临近你。 8你惟亲眼观看， 见恶人遭报。 9因为耶和华是我的避难所， 你以至高者为居所， 10祸患必不临到你， 灾害也不挨近你的帐棚。 11因他要为你命令他的使者， 在你所行的一切道路上保护你。 12他们要用手托住你， 免得你的脚碰在石头上。 13你要踹踏狮子和毒蛇， 践踏少壮狮子和大蛇。 14“因为他专心爱我，我要搭救他； 因为他认识我的名，我要把他安置在高处。 15他若求告我，我就应允他； 他在急难中，我与他同在； 我要搭救他，使他尊贵。 16我要使他享足长寿， 将我的救恩显明给他。”

• 罗马书 14:7-8

7我们没有一个人为自己而活，也没有一个人为自己而死。 8我们若活，是为主而活；我们若死，是为主而死。所以，我们或死或活总是主的人。

• 腓立比书 4:4-9

4你们要靠主常常喜乐。我再说，你们要喜乐。 5要让众人知道你们谦让的心。主已经近了。 6应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉上帝。 7上帝所赐那超越人所能了解的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念。 8末了，弟兄们，凡是真实的、凡是可敬的、凡是公义的、凡是清洁的、凡是可爱的、凡是有美名的，若有什么德行，若有什么称赞，你们都要留意。 9你们从我所学习的，所领受的，所听见的，所看见的事，你们都要继续去做，赐平安的上帝就必与你们同在。

上帝像位温柔的牧人，看顾我们如同牧人看顾羊群。他知道我们何时需要什么，也知道我们需要往何处去。即使在危险环绕我们之时，他也会保护我们。（诗篇 23:1-6）我们是要做试图自己跑开的羊，还是会跟从他温柔的带领？

在巨大的混乱动荡之中，我们能够满有把握，相信上帝所做的一切尽都正确。我们或活或死，他都是信实可靠的。

我们都喜爱安全，以至于我们可能以为人生中最美好的事就是有保障，但诗篇16篇却让我们看到，还有远比这更美好的事。愿上帝把生命中最大的福分指示我们，把真正与超然的喜乐显给我们。（诗篇 16:1-11）

这一生中你会有愁烦，也会有挂虑。有愁烦挂虑未必就有错，但你感受到这样的情绪时若不知道该怎样对付，那么就可能被锁住手脚，动弹不得。对于我们应该怎样对付一切挂虑，上帝有非常明确的指令。

• Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

• Psalm 91:1-16

1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. 7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. 9Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— 10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. 14“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. 15When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

• Romans 14:7-8

7For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

• Philippians 4:4-9

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Like a tender Shepherd, God cares for us like we are sheep. He knows what we need when we need it. He knows where we need to go. Even when danger surrounds us, he defends us. Will we be sheep who try and run away, or will we follow his tender leading? (Psalm 23:1-6)

We can trust God in the midst of great turmoil with confidence that he will do what is right. Whether we live or whether we die, he is trustworthy.

In our love for safety, we may think that the greatest thing in life is security, but this Psalm shows us that there are far greater things. May God show us the greatest blessings in life and reveal true, supernatural joy. (Psalm 16:1-11)

In this life, you will have anxiety and you will have worry. Experiencing the emotion of anxiety isn’t necessarily wrong, but if you don’t know what to do with it when you experience it you can be paralyzed. God makes it very clear what we need to do with all of our worries.
