Not a Piece of Peace, But the Whole Peace
Not a Piece of Peace, But the Whole Peace
Isaiah 26:3
October 4, 2026
Linda/Isaiah
1. When you think about “peace,” what usually comes to mind—having no problems, having control, predictable circumstances, or something deeper?
當你想到「平安」時，通常會想到什麼——沒有問題、擁有掌控權、環境可預測，還是某種更深層的東西？
2. How does the biblical idea of shalom shalom challenge your understanding of peace?
聖經中「shalom shalom」的概念，如何挑戰你對「平安」的理解？
3. Isaiah 26:3 connects perfect peace with keeping our minds focused on God and trusting Him. What tends to occupy your mind when you feel anxious or uncertain, and how does that affect your sense of peace?
以賽亞書 26:3 將「完全的平安」與專心仰望神、信靠祂連結在一起。當你感到焦慮或不確定時，你的心思通常會被什麼事情佔據？這又如何影響你對平安的感受？
4. What does it practically mean for you to “abide” in Christ when you are anxious, overwhelmed, or afraid? What are some things that tend to cause you to wander away from trusting Him?
當你感到焦慮、不堪負荷或害怕時，對你而言，「住在基督裡」實際上是什麼意思？有哪些事情容易使你漸漸離開對祂的信靠？
5. When anxiety comes, a practical response is STAY: STOP, TELL, ACKNOWLEDGE, and YIELD before taking the next step. Which part of this process would be most helpful for you in your current season, and why?
當焦慮來臨時，一個實際的回應方式是 STAY：STOP（停下來）、TELL（告訴神）、ACKNOWLEDGE（承認／覺察）、YIELD（交託），然後再採取下一步。以你目前所處的生命季節而言，這個過程中的哪一個部分對你最有幫助？為什麼？
If time permits, please discuss:
Psalm 86:11 says, “Unite my heart to fear Your name.” What do you think an “undivided heart” looks like in everyday life?
詩篇 86:11 說：「求你使我專心敬畏你的名。」你認為一顆「專一、不分心的心」在日常生活中會是什麼樣子？
Are there areas where your heart is currently divided between trusting God and trying to control things yourself?
目前你的生命中，是否有一些領域，你的心正處於「一方面信靠神，另一方面又想靠自己掌控」的狀態？
How could remembering God’s unchanging character help you respond differently to a situation that currently causes you anxiety?
當你面對目前某個使你焦慮的處境時，記得神那不改變的本質與屬性，可以如何幫助你以不同的方式來回應？
Looking at your life right now, what is one situation where God may be asking you to stop trying to hold everything together yourself and instead surrender it to Him?
回顧你現在的生命，有沒有一件事情是神可能正在邀請你停止試圖靠自己維持一切，而是將它完全交託給祂？
What is one practical step you can take this week to keep your mind stayed on Him and experience His peace?
這個星期，你可以採取哪一個實際的行動，使你的心思持續專注在神身上，並經歷祂所賜的平安？
