  Stop Worrying! God Will Fix lt For You ( 8 of 15 )

Tip 8. Be aware of what’s happening around you

³⁴ “Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, ³⁵ like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. ³⁶ Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.” ~ Luke 21:34-36 

Understanding the times we live in is key to keeping anxiety to a minimum. When we are spiritually ignorant (unaware of the spiritual forces at play all around us), it’s stressful because we are constantly getting taken advantage of by the traps laid out for us by the world. 

This passage lays out two categories of heart-dulling activities: carousing and drunkenness, and worries of this life. We stay alert by examining ourselves daily to identify how we may be dulling ourselves, and what matters of the heart we are neglecting to address. 

The best example I can think of to illustrate this point is when I was in college, and I saw countless friends get their stomachs pumped or be resuscitated because they drank too much alcohol. In those moments, I was able to comprehend that there was a lot going on in these people’s lives, and it put things into perspective because they were all going to the wrong places to find relief.

别再忧虑！上帝会为你解决一切（8/15）

建议8：留意你周围发生的一切

³⁴ “你们要谨慎！不要因荒宴醉酒，并今生的思虑，使你们的心昏花，免得那日子临到你们，³⁵ 因为那日子必临到地上一切居住的人。³⁶ 你们要时时警醒，常常祈求，使你们能逃避这些灾难，得以站立在人子面前。” ~ 路加福音 21:34-36

了解我们所处的时代是最大限度减少焦虑的关键。当我们属灵上无知（不了解我们周围发生的属灵力量）时，就会感到压力重重，因为我们不断地落入世界为我们设下的陷阱。

 这段文字列举了两类麻痹心灵的活动：寻欢作乐和醉酒，以及对今生的忧虑。我们应当每日反省自身，保持警醒，找出哪些行为麻痹了我们，以及我们忽略了哪些关乎内心的重要事。

我能想到的最好的例子就是我在大学时的经历。那时，我亲眼目睹无数朋友因为饮酒过量而需要洗胃或抢救。在那些时刻，我意识到这些人生活中有很多事情需要处理，也让我重新审视了他们的处境，因为他们都走错了寻求慰藉的途径。
