压力（英语和汉语）

Pressure

In this world, we feel pressure from many places: from family, school or the workplace. Let's talk about pressure in your job. Do you ever feel that Monday is a bad day because you must return to work? Does your manager pressure you to work harder? Are your goals hard to achieve? Are you worried about being successful at work? This kind of pressure can drain the energy from inside you. The Bible says "A heart at peace gives life to the body". But where do we find this peace? How can we take away this pressure at the workplace?

Let me give you a new perspective about pressure. In reality, pressure does not come from the outside of us but rather it is created within us. Pressure does not happen TO us, but rather pressure happens IN us. Pressure does not come from hard goals at work, pressure comes from how we react to those goals. Pressure doesn't come from our managger's deamands, but rather pressusre comes from how we react to those demands. Since this is true, we can eliminate pressure by changing ourselves rather than our workplace. This should give us hope for change.

Does that Christian faith have anything to say about this? Yes indeed.
Here are some saying of the Bible
"For God is not a God of disorder but of peace."
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace .."
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,..."
There are many more saying about peace of mind. How do you find this peace? The answer is following God's spirit will lead you to this peace. Most people do not find this peace because they refuse to follow the Holy Spirit. But blessed are those who follow God.

Finally, I am going to give you a secret that will start you on the path to peace. It is easy, just follow my instructions. As you wake up to start the day, pray this prayer.

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

If you manager gives you a difficult assignment, pray like this

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

If you feel worried about being successful on your job, pray like this

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Pray this prayer each time your feel stress, when you go to sleep, when you wake up. The prayer is short and easy. And if you pray with your whole heart, this prayer will be powerful.

Now say this prayer along with me ...

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

The complete prayer continues like this ...

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.

Connect to the power of this prayer.

God Bless you and good-bye.

压力
在这个世界上生存，我们都感到有压力。这压力来自许多方面：有来自家庭的压力，有来自学校或者工作单位的压力。现在让我们来谈谈来自于工作的压力。你不喜欢星期一，因为你必须回到工作岗位上去，对吗？你的老板给你压力让你努力工作，对吗？要求你达到的目标很难实现，对吗？你对你能否取得成功很担忧，对吗？这种压力会把你里面的能量都消耗掉。圣经上说：“心中平静是肉体的生命。”可是到哪里去找这种平静呢？怎样才能去掉这种压力？
让我来说说我对压力的看法。实际上，压力并不是来自我们以外的世界，而恰恰是我们内心的产物。压力不是产生于很难实现的工作目标，压力来自于我们对这些要求的反应。既然这是一个事实，我们可以通过改变我们自己来消除压力，而不通过换工作。
基督教的信心怎样看待这个问题？看看圣经是怎么说的吧：
“因为神不是叫人混乱，乃是叫人安静。”
“圣灵所结的果子就是仁爱，喜乐，平静”
“神所赐出人意外的平安，必在耶稣基督里保守你们的心怀意念。”
还有许多关于心灵平静的话语。你若想找到真平静就只有找上帝，因为他能赐给你真平安。许多人找不到真平安，就是因为拒绝上帝的呼唤。但是那些跟从上帝的人有福了。
最后，我想给你一个开始踏上平静之路的秘诀。很容易，你只要照我说的说就行。你每天醒来，开始新的一天的时候，你这样祷告：

上帝，请赐予我平静，去接受我不能改变的一切；
赐予我勇气，去改变我能够改变的一 切
赐予我智慧，去分辨两者的不同。

如果你的老板给你一个困难的任务，你就这样祷告：

上帝，请赐予我平静，去接受我不能改变的一切；
赐予我勇气，去改变我能够改变的一 切
赐予我智慧，去分辨两者的不同。

如果你对你能否成功地完成你的工作感到忧虑，你就这样祷告：
上帝，请赐予我平静，去接受我不能改变的一切；
赐予我勇气，去改变我能够改变的一 切
赐予我智慧，去分辨两者的不同。

每当你感到有压力的时候，当你睡下，起来的时候你都做这个祷告。这个祷告又短又容易。如果你真心真意地祷告，这个祷告就有神奇的能力。
现在请跟我说这个祷告：
上帝，请赐予我平静，去接受我不能改变的一切；
赐予我勇气，去改变我能够改变的一 切
赐予我智慧，去分辨两者的不同。

这个完整的祷告是这样继续下去的：

一天一天地生活；
片刻片刻的享受；
把困苦当成通往安宁的道路；
像耶稣基督那样
接受这罪恶的世界，
如其所是，而非如我所愿；
相信他会使万事修正，
只要我顺从他的意志；
相信我会在此生获得适当的快乐，
并在永生与他同享无上的幸福。
阿门。

连接到这个祷告的能力上来吧！
愿上帝赐福你！
再见
