Do not search for security in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become.

There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your attention on my presence with you. This continual contact with me will keep you in my peace. Moreover, I will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (my presence).

不要在你所居住的世界中寻找安全感。你倾向于制作心理清单，列出需要做的事情，以掌控自己的生活。如果你能完成清单上的所有事项，就可以放松并获得内心的平静。但是，你越努力去实现这个目标，清单上就会涌现更多的事项。你越努力，就会越沮丧。

在这个生命中，有更好的找到安全感的方式。不要过度关注你的清单，而要将注意力集中在我与你的同在。与我保持不断的联系，将使你安居在我的平安中。此外，我将帮助你区分什么是重要的，什么不是，什么需要立即完成，什么不需要。不要着眼于所见之物（你的环境），而是着眼于所不见的（我的同在）。
