Read: Psalm 77:1-15

Our problems are opportunities to discover God’s solutions.

我们的问题是发现上帝解决方案的良机。

I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.  --Psalm 77:12

我也要思想祢的经营，默念祢的作为。-诗篇77篇12节

Joan was struggling with some difficult issues with her children when she sat down for a worship service. Exhausted, she wanted to "resign" from motherhood. Then the speaker began to share encouragement for those who feel like quitting. These four thoughts that Joan heard that morning helped her to keep going:

主日聚会时，她坐在椅子上，但身心俱疲，内心正为着孩子们的问题烦恼，甚至想「放弃」母亲的职分。这时，台上的讲员开始分享信息，内容正好激励了那些想要放弃的人。那天早上，她听见了四个重点，使她得着帮助继续前进：

Look up and pray. Asaph prayed all night long and even expressed feelings that God had forgotten and rejected him (Ps. 77:9-10). We can tell God everything and be honest about our feelings. We can ask Him anything. His answer may not come right away or in the form we want or expect, but He won't criticize  us forasking.

仰望与祷告：亚萨在夜间不住地祷告，甚至表达了被上帝遗忘和丢弃的感觉（诗篇77篇9-10节）。我们可以向上帝陈明一切，述说我们真实的感受，无论何事都可以向祂祈求。上帝可能不会立刻回应，祂的回应方式也可能并不符合我们的期待，但是祂不会嫌弃我们的祈求。

Look back and remember what God has done in the past for you and others. Asaph didn't talk to God only about the pain; he also recalled God's power and mighty works for him and God’s people. He wrote, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago" (v. 11).

回顾从前上帝为你和他人所成就的事：亚萨不只是向上帝述说他的痛苦，他也回想上帝的能力，以及上帝为他和以色列百姓所行的奇事。亚萨写道：「我要提说耶和华所行的，我要记念祢古时的奇事。」（11节）

Look forward. Think about the good that might come out of the situation. What  might you learn? What might God want to do? What do you know He will do because His ways are perfect? (v.13).

向前看：你的处境会带来什么益处？你可能会学到什么？上帝要成就什么？你知道美善的上帝会做什么吗？（13节）

Lookagain. This time look at your circumstances with eyes of faith. Remind yourself that He is the God of great wonders and can be trusted (v. 14).

重新检视：再次用信心的眼光看看你的境遇。提醒自己，祂是行神迹奇事的上帝，祂确实可靠（14节）。

May these ideas help us gain perspective and keep moving in our faith journey with Jesus.

在我们与耶稣同行的信心之旅中，这些提醒能帮助我们拥有正确的眼光，继续前行。

Prayer 祷告：

Lord, I can’t help but see my problems. Help me not to be discouraged and weary, but to see You in the midst of them.

主啊，我总是只看到困难。帮助我不要气馁、不要感到疲乏厌倦，而是要在困境中亲眼看见祢。
