你曾有过想要飞的愿望吗？你是否曾希望自己可以腾空而起，飞向远方，享受一些超越尘世的平静和安宁?

有时在生活中，我们所面临的麻烦会导致内心深处的波澜起伏。我们可能会纠结于某些事情：心理健康、身体残障或疾病、僵持的关系、艰难的事业、深深的失望或失落、经济贫困或其他一些事情。有很多事情会让我们感觉束手无策。

当大卫写这篇《诗篇》时，他因自己的处境而心烦意乱，被朋友出卖了，感到失望和困顿。他迫切地想要找到一条出路，梦想着自己能像鸽子一样，远走高飞，逃离所有的烦恼。

但当他在沮丧中挣扎时，他渐渐明白，虽然他没有翅膀可以飞走，但他可以发出声音向神呼求。从生活的重担中解脱出来的方法不是逃避，而是把它们交给神：“把你的重担卸给耶和华，祂必抚养你。”（参诗 55:22）

作为对这篇《诗篇》的呼应，耶稣说：“凡劳苦担重担的人，可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。……学我的样式，这样，你们心里就必得享安息。”（太 11:28-29）

Have you ever had the desire to fly? Do you ever wish you could just leap up and fly away for some peace and quiet?

Sometimes in life, the troubles we face can cause deep inner turmoil. We may struggle with our mental health, a physical disability or disease, a relationship that feels stuck, a difficult career, a deep disappointment or loss, a cycle of poverty, or something else. Many different things can make us feel trapped.

When David wrote this psalm, he was feeling disillusioned and stuck. He was distraught by the situation he was in, and he felt betrayed by a friend. He desperately wanted a way out and dreamed of being like a dove so he could fly far away from all his troubles.

But as he wrestled with his discouragement, he grew to understand that although he did not have wings to fly away, he did have a voice to call upon God. The solution to being released from life's burdens isn't to escape but to give them up to the Lord: "Cast your cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you."

Echoing the assurance of this psalm, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest... Learn from me... and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29).
