我们可以为孩子们祷告，使他们的灵命刚强成长：“我不求你叫他们离开世界，只求你保守他们脱离那恶者。”

We can pray that our children will grow strong spiritually: “I’m not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one” (John 17:15 NLT).

事实上，只有神的国度可以永远长存，其他一切事物至终会消失，故此我们必须过一个目的导向的人生——委身于敬拜、团契相交、灵命成长、事奉，及完成大使命的人生。

Everything else will eventually vanish. That is why we must live purpose driven lives-lives committed to worship, fellowship, spiritual growth, ministry, and fulfilling our mission on earth.

不过，我们若在基督里面对这些困难，我们的灵命将会得到前所未有的成长。

But when we face them in Christ, our spiritual life takes on a maturity it never had before.
