这里没有惧怕
在我给年轻人行坚贞礼之前，我会努力向他们灌输学习圣经的重要性。比如说，我们会让他们背诵诗篇23篇，因为我们想让他们把经文牢牢地存在心里，应对将来的艰难时期。
每个人终究都会经历黑暗的幽谷，在那里他们会特别感受到对耶稣这位好牧人的需要。这篇诗篇说到，这位牧人会领我们到可安歇的地方，使我们灵魂苏醒，给我们丰盛的爱和祝福。当我们面对失望或毁灭性打击带来的痛苦时，我们的保护者会来帮助和安慰我们。
我们的朋友希德最近和他的孙女跑步后发作了严重的心脏病。一位保安用心肺复苏术唤醒了他休克的心脏。几个星期以来，希德一直处于昏迷状态，濒临死亡，但是，靠着神的恩典，在两次心脏手术的帮助下，他康复了！希德的见证是，在痛苦和失眠中背诵诗篇23篇，能给他的心灵带来治愈。
当我们在严重的疾病、压力、损失、忧虑和其他挣扎中进入最黑暗的幽谷时，我们可以从诗篇23篇的祷告中得到安慰。我们确信，神与我们同在，祂顾念我们。我们无需害怕。
主啊，你知道在我们面对生活的黑暗和幽谷时有多么惧怕。求你使我们确信，在我们看不见出路的时候，你的同在会引导和保护我们。阿们。
诗篇 23
1耶和华是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。
2他使我躺卧在青草地上，领我在可安歇的水边。
3他使我的灵魂苏醒，为自己的名引导我走义路。
4我虽然行过死荫的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因为你与我同在，你的杖、你的竿都安慰我。
5在我敌人面前，你为我摆设筵席，你用油膏了我的头，使我的福杯满溢。
6我一生一世必有恩惠、慈爱随着我，我且要住在耶和华的殿中，直到永远。
No Fear Here
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." — Psalm 23:4
When I help young people prepare to profess their faith, I try to instill in them the importance of learning Scripture. For example, we have them memorize Psalm 23 because we want it stored deep in their souls for times of trouble.
Everyone will eventually experience a dark valley in which they will especially sense the need for Jesus, the good shepherd. This psalm speaks of the shepherd who leads us to comfortable places, refreshes our souls, and lavishes us with love and blessings. And when we face times of suffering caused by disappointments or devastating blows, our protector comes to help and comfort us.
Our friend Sid had a massive heart attack recently after running with his granddaughter. A security guard revived his dormant heart with CPR. For weeks, Sid was in an induced coma on the brink of death, but by the grace of God and two heart surgeries, he recovered. Sid’s testimony is that reciting Psalm 23 in the midst of pain and sleeplessness brought healing to his soul.
When we enter the darkest valleys amid serious illness, stress, loss, worry, and other struggles, we can find much comfort in the prayer of Psalm 23. We have the blessed assurance that God is with us and cares for us. We have no need to fear.
Lord, you know how fear can grip us when we face the shadows and dark valleys of life. Assure us of your presence that leads us and protects us when we can’t see an escape route. Amen.
