抓住神的话语，击败沮丧
Victory Over Discouragement: Here, in the power of Christ, I will stand.
12 月，最后一周
这一周过得异常忙碌。
忙着圣诞节，忙着给孩子准备礼物，忙着各种聚会。
外面看起来热闹、喜乐，但我的内心，却在这忙碌中被一件事击中。
我突然得知，一个很要好的朋友，婚姻里出现了第三者。
先生出轨。
那一刻，我真的无法形容内心的震惊。
不是八卦式的震惊，而是一种深深的、刺痛心脏的痛。
那个晚上，我的情绪一下子掉到了谷底。
我仿佛清楚地“听见”撒旦在嘲笑我们这些基督徒：
“看看你们，
信耶稣信了这么久，
还不是逃不出我设下的情欲网络。
你们不过是我的奴隶，
注定失败。”
那声音很真实，也很残忍。
我开始沮丧、痛苦，甚至害怕。
我想到我们自己：
谁是刚强的？
谁能永远站立得稳呢？
说实话，没有。
我们都是软弱的。
试探一旦摆在眼前，我们都可能跌倒。
在这样的现实面前，人很容易失去安全感，也失去把握。
我也看见自己的生活。
我很容易失去热情。
做视频号，最初的目的，是想分享“信望爱”的生活，
可当没有人点赞、没有回应时，心就开始冷。
想好好做的主内项目，因为孩子放假、精力有限，就变得松散。
为一些人祷告，却迟迟看不到进展，
我开始着急，甚至在心里问神：
“神啊，我们很软弱啊，盼望在哪里呢？”
婚姻呢？
合一真的这么难。
再看到身边熟悉、亲近的姐妹，婚姻亮起红灯，
我仿佛再次听见撒旦欢呼雀跃的声音：
“你们都会被我打败。
我只要三个试探的钩子，
你们就会上钩。”
那一刻，我不仅为她担心，
也开始担心自己，担心我们的婚姻。
如果有一天，这样的挑战临到我们，怎么办？
就在撒旦不断提醒我“他的战绩多么辉煌”时，
圣灵却温柔而坚定地提醒我一件事：
他的结局，已经注定是失败的。
耶稣早就说过。
“我曾看见撒但从天上坠落，像闪电一样。”
——路加福音 10:18
“现在这世界受审判，这世界的王要被赶出去。”
——约翰福音 12:31
原来，
撒旦声音再大，
也只是一个已经被审判、正在等结局的失败者。
而神的应许，却从未改变。
对那个觉得自己人生满是失败、破碎到无法修复的人，
神说：
There is nothing too broken that God can’t rebuild and restore.
没有什么破碎，是神不能重建、不能修复的。
在我看来不可能的，
在那位“凡事都能”的神那里，从来不是问题。
神知道祂为我所预备的计划，
是赐平安、赐盼望的计划，
不是降灾祸的。
祂渴望我在完全交托中，重新得着那份从祂而来的喜乐。
祂的膀臂，一直是张开的。
我所需要的，不是更多控制，
而是更多的——祂自己。
我的祷告：
主啊，
我来到你面前，
把我生命中所有破碎的部分都交给你。
那些恐惧、沮丧、失望、软弱，
我不再自己抓着。
我知道，只有你，
能修补被击碎的，
使它重新完整，
甚至比从前更美。
我把一切交托在你手中，
当我全心信靠你，
我相信你的平安必定临到我。
奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，
阿们。
神的应许，我要抓住：
- 罪在哪里显多，恩典就更显多（罗马书 5:20）
- 神若帮助我们，谁能敌挡我们？（罗马书 8:31）
- 耶和华必为你争战，你只管静默（出埃及记 14:14）
- 等候耶和华的，必重新得力（以赛亚书 40:31）
我需要忍耐，因为神正在为我征战。
最后，我紧紧抓住这句话，
像抓住救命的绳索：
“因为神赐给我们的，不是胆怯的心，
乃是刚强、仁爱、谨守的心。”
——提摩太后书 1:7
今天，我选择相信神的话，
胜过撒旦的嘲笑。
我选择站在应许里，
击败沮丧。

The last week of December – Victory Over Discouragement: Here, in the power of Christ, I will stand.
This past week was incredibly busy.
Busy with Christmas preparations, busy buying gifts for the children, busy with gatherings and events.
On the surface, everything looked joyful and lively, but inside, my heart was shaken by something unexpected.
I suddenly learned that a close friend’s marriage had been invaded by a third party.
Her husband had an affair.
In that moment, I couldn’t even find words to describe the shock I felt.
It wasn’t curiosity or gossip—it was a deep pain that pierced my heart.
That night, my emotions sank to a very low place.
It felt as if I could clearly hear Satan mocking us as Christians:
“Look at you.
You’ve believed in Jesus for so many years,
yet you still can’t escape the net of desire I set for you.
You are my slaves,
destined to fail.”
That voice felt disturbingly real—and cruel.
I became discouraged, sorrowful, even afraid.
I began to think about ourselves:
Who is truly strong?
Who can stand firm forever?
Honestly, no one.
We are all weak.
When temptation is placed right in front of us, any one of us could fall.
Facing this reality, it’s easy to lose our sense of security and confidence.
I also saw this weakness in my own life.
I lose passion easily.
I started my video channel with the hope of sharing a life of faith, hope, and love.
But when there are no likes, no responses, my heart quickly grows cold.
There are projects I genuinely want to do well，for example—but with the kids on holiday and limited energy, I become scattered and slow.
I pray for certain people, yet see no progress, and anxiety creeps in.
I find myself asking God,
“When will Your work begin?”
And marriage—
unity is so hard.
When I see marriages of sisters I know and love showing warning signs,
I seem to hear Satan’s voice again, full of excitement and triumph:
“You will all be defeated by me.
I only need a few temptations,
and you will take the bait.”
In that moment, I wasn’t only worried about her.
I became worried about myself—about our own marriage.
What if one day this kind of challenge comes to us?
What then?
Just as Satan was reminding me of how “successful” his track record seemed,
the Holy Spirit gently but firmly reminded me of one truth:
His ending is already decided—and it is failure.
Jesus said it clearly.
“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
—Luke 10:18
“Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out.”
—John 12:31
I suddenly realized that no matter how loud Satan’s voice is,
he is nothing more than a defeated enemy whose judgment has already been declared,
waiting for the final outcome.
God’s promises, however, have never changed.
To the one who feels that life is full of defeat and beyond repair,
God says:
There is nothing too broken that God can’t rebuild and restore.
What looks impossible to me
is never impossible for the God who is able to do all things.
God knows the plans He has for me—
plans to give me hope and a future, not disaster.
He longs for me to experience the fullness of joy that comes from fully entrusting my life to Him.
His arms are always wide open.
What I truly need is not more control,
but more of Him.
My Prayer:
Lord God,
I come before You and place every broken piece of my life into Your hands.
The fear, discouragement, disappointment, and weakness—
I no longer want to hold onto them myself.
I know that only You
can mend what has been shattered,
restore it to wholeness,
and even make it more beautiful than before.
I surrender everything to You.
As I trust You with all my heart,
I believe that Your peace will rest upon me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
God’s promises I choose to hold on to:
- Where sin increased, grace increased all the more (Romans 5:20)
- If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
- The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still (Exodus 14:14)
- Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31)
I choose patience, because God is fighting for me.
And finally, I hold tightly to this verse,
as if holding onto a lifeline:
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
—2 Timothy 1:7
Today, I choose to believe God’s Word
over Satan’s mockery.
I choose to stand in His promises
and defeat discouragement.
