Bring me all your feelings, even the ones you wish you didn’t have. Fear and anxiety still plague you. Feelings per se are not sinful, but they can be temptations to sin. Blazing missiles of fear fly at you day and night; these attacks from the evil one come at you relentlessly. Use your shield of faith to extinguish those flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in me, regardless of how you feel. If you persist, your feelings will eventually fall in line with your faith.

Do not hide from your fear or pretend it isn’t there. Anxiety that you hide in the recesses of your heart will give birth to fear of fear: a monstrous mutation. Bring your anxieties out into the light of my presence, where we can deal with them together. Concentrate on trusting me, and fearfulness will gradually lose its foothold within you.

把你所有的感受都带给我，即使是你不希望拥有的感受。恐惧和焦虑会折磨你。感受本身并不是罪恶的，但它们可能成为引诱你犯罪的试探。恐惧的火箭日夜向你飞来；邪恶之力的攻击毫不停歇地向你袭来。用你坚定的信心的藤牌来扑灭那些燃烧的火箭。无论你感觉如何，要坚定地相信我。如果你坚持下去，你的感受最终会与你的信心一致。

不要躲避你的恐惧或假装它不存在。你把焦虑隐藏在心里，它会诞生出“惧怕惧怕”的恐怖变异。把你的焦虑带到我的面前，让我们一起处理它们。专注于相信我，恐惧将逐渐失去在你内心扎根的立足点。
