Every project faces obstacles. Every purpose encounters problems. This is especially true in spiritual enterprises – they attract challenges. The problems worsened as the building project progressed. It started with mockery and disdain, then anger followed by opposition, false accusation, resistance, attacks, and attempted assassination.

Accept obstacles, problems, challenges as a fact of life. Nothing is going to be a bed of roses and smooth sailing. There are twists and turns in life’s journey. There are potholes and sink holes on the road of life.

But Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. Convert them into positives. You will get frustrated, stressed, and angry, but do not let these control or overwhelm you. Convert these into good actions. Grieve but do not be sad grievously as one without hope. Turn the grief into ministry. Don’t slowly kill yourself with regrets. Take control of the wheel of your thoughts and emotions and steer them towards purpose. Every calling has challenges, but challenges can be the parent to change. Problems can be the doors of possibilities.

Nehemiah’s name means the comfort of the Lord. There is one sure thing: The Comforter is with you. “And I will ask the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever” (John 14:16).

每个项目都会面临障碍。每个目的都会遇到问题。这在属灵事工中尤为如此——它们会带来挑战。随着建筑项目的推进，问题愈发严重。一开始是嘲讽和轻蔑，随后是愤怒，接着是反对、诬陷、抵抗、袭击和暗杀未遂。

接受障碍、问题和挑战，视为生活的事实。没有什么是一帆风顺的。人生旅程充满曲折。生命之路上有坑洼。

但耶稣是复活和生命。把它们转化为积极的。你会感到沮丧、压力和愤怒，但不要让这些控制或压垮你。把这些转化为积极的行动。悲伤，但不要像一个没有希望的人一样悲伤。将悲伤转化为事工。不要慢慢用遗憾自毁。掌控你思想和情感的方向盘，引导它们走向目标。每个呼召都有挑战，但挑战可以成为改变的父母。问题可能是可能性的门。

尼希米的名字意为主的安慰。有一件事是肯定的：安慰者与你同在。“我要向父求，祂要赐给你们另一位保惠师，叫祂永远与你们同在” （约翰福音 14：16）。
