【双语灵修】奇妙受造FEARFULLY MADE

诗篇 139篇 6月24日

耶和华啊，你已经鉴察我，认识我。我坐下，我起来，你都晓得，你从远处知道我的意念。我行路，我躺卧，你都细察，你也深知我一切所行的。耶和华啊，我舌头上的话，你没有一句不知道的。你在我前后环绕我，按手在我身上。这样的知识奇妙，是我不能测的；至高，是我不能及的。我往哪里去躲避你的灵？我往哪里逃躲避你的面？我若升到天上，你在那里；我若在阴间下榻，你也在那里。我若展开清晨的翅膀，飞到海极居住，就是在那里，你的手必引导我，你的右手也必扶持我。我若说“黑暗必定遮蔽我，我周围的亮光必成为黑夜”，黑暗也不能遮蔽我使你不见，黑夜却如白昼发亮，黑暗和光明在你看都是一样。我的肺腑是你所造的，我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。我要称谢你，因我受造奇妙可畏；你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的。我在暗中受造，在地的深处被联络，那时我的形体并不向你隐藏。我未成形的体质，你的眼早已看见了；你所定的日子，我尚未度一日，你都写在你的册上了。神啊，你的意念向我何等宝贵！其数何等众多！我若数点，比海沙更多。我睡醒的时候，仍和你同在。神啊，你必要杀戮恶人。所以你们好流人血的，离开我去吧！因为他们说恶言顶撞你，你的仇敌也妄称你的名。耶和华啊，恨恶你的，我岂不恨恶他们吗？攻击你的，我岂不憎嫌他们吗？我切切地恨恶他们，以他们为仇敌。神啊，求你鉴察我，知道我的心思；试炼我，知道我的意念。看在我里面有什么恶行没有，引导我走永生的道路。

奇妙受造

“我要称谢你，因我受造奇妙可畏；你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的。” -诗 139:14

我曾为一位在罗斯兰基督教事工长大的弟兄主持葬礼，他从小在教会长大，就读基督教学校，但二十出头时，精神突然崩溃。这个向来温和爱笑的青年开始讲述荒诞的故事，坚信自己即将获得名流青睐、巨额赔偿。他的精神疾病未曾得到确诊，只能自行用药以图缓解。

他的父亲——一位退伍军人——同样用药物自我治疗，并出现精神分裂状态。两人都承受过严重创伤，习惯“硬撑”直到了现实崩塌。

我所知的家庭或多或少都面临心理健康问题，但多数人选择了沉默，而这沉默往往会让病情恶化。

精神疾病不是软弱或失败的标志，而是邀请我们倚靠神的医治。我们蒙召以坦诚相伴，寻求帮助，深信神必在破碎处与我们相遇，赐下心灵的盼望与重建。我担心许多信徒认为只需通过祷告及“属灵化”来处理问题。但在我的经验中，坚实的信仰群体与专业治疗师都是治愈路上不可或缺的。但愿你两者兼得。

祷告

主啊，我们需要信仰群体的扶持，与专业治疗的帮助去治愈我们的精神和心灵创伤。求你引导我们善用这两重恩典，得享身心灵的整全与痊愈。阿们。

FEARFULLY MADE

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” — Psalm 139:14

I officiated at the funeral of a man who had grown up at Roseland Christian Ministries. He was raised in the church and had attended Christian schools. But in his early twenties, something seemed to break in his mind. Always kind and smiling, he began to tell delusional stories. He was convinced of an alternate reality that featured celebrities, lawsuits, and fortunes coming his way. He had an undiagnosed mental illness, and he self-medicated to try to cope.

His father, a veteran, also self-medicated and experienced mental breaks. Both men had endured severe trauma. They learned to “tough it out” until they broke from reality.

I don’t know of any family that doesn’t face mental health issues in some form. I know that many don’t talk about it. But silence makes us sicker.

Mental illness is not a sign of weakness or failure but a call to lean on God's healing presence. We are invited to walk together in openness, seeking help, and trusting that God meets us in our brokenness, offering hope and restoration for our minds and hearts. I am concerned that many followers of Jesus believe that our struggles can be met only by prayer and through spiritualizing our problems. But in my experience, a strong faith community and a trusted therapist are necessary on the journey. My prayer is that you have both available to you.

Lord, we need strong faith communities and good therapists to help heal our mental and emotional wounds. May we seek both, trusting you to guide us toward healing. Amen.
