In his book Preachers and Preaching, Martyn Lloyd-Jones noted, “I shall never cease to be grateful to Richard Sibbes, who was balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired, and therefore subject in an unusual manner to the onslaughts of the devil…. I found at that time that Richard Sibbes… was an unfailing remedy. His books The Bruised Reed and The Soul’s Conflict quietened, soothed, comforted, encouraged, and healed me.”
在他的书《传道者与传道》中，马丁·劳埃德-琼斯指出：“我将永远感激理查德·西布斯，在我生命中一个过度劳累和疲惫不堪的时期，他给了我心灵的安慰，因此我以一种不寻常的方式受到魔鬼的攻击……我发现在那个时候，理查德·西布斯……是一种不竭的良药。他的书《受伤的芦苇》和《灵魂的冲突》使我平静、安抚、安慰、鼓励和治愈。”
In this book, Sibbes reflects on Psalm 42:11 — “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”
在这本书中，西布斯反思了诗篇 42:11——“我的灵魂啊，你为何忧伤？为何在我里面烦躁？应当仰望神，因我还要称赞他，他是我脸上的光荣，是我的神。”
There be two sorts of people always in the visible Church; one that Satan keeps under with false peace, whose life is nothing but a diversion to present contentments, and a running away from God and their own hearts, which they know can speak no good unto them, these speak peace to themselves, but God speaks none. Such have nothing to do with this scripture; the way for these men to enjoy comfort, is to be soundly troubled. True peace arises from knowing the worst first, and then our freedom from it. It is a miserable peace that ariseth from ignorance of evil. The angel troubled the waters, John v., and then cured those that stepped in. It is Christ’s manner to trouble our souls first, and then to come with healing in his wings.
教会中总有两种人：一种是被撒旦用虚假的平安压制住的人，他们的生活只是为了追求眼前的满足，逃避上帝和自己的内心，他们知道自己的内心对他们没有好处，他们对自己说平安，但上帝却不这样说。这样的人与这段经文无关；对于这些人来说，享受安慰的方法是真正地感到困扰。真正的平安来自于首先了解最糟糕的情况，然后才是我们从中解脱出来。从对邪恶的无知中产生的平安是可悲的。约翰福音第五章中，天使搅动了水，然后治愈了那些下去的人。基督的方式是先使我们的灵魂困扰，然后带着医治来到我们身边。
But there is another sort of people, who being drawn out of Satan’s kingdom and within the covenant of grace, whom Satan labours to unsettle and disquiet: being the god of the world, he is vexed to see men in the world, walk above the world. Since he cannot hinder their estate, he will trouble their peace, and damp their spirits, and cut asunder the sinews of all their endeavours.
但是还有另一类人，他们被从撒旦的王国中拯救出来，并进入了恩典的约束之中，撒旦努力想要动摇和扰乱他们：作为这个世界的神，他看到人们在这个世界中超越了这个世界，感到烦恼。既然他无法阻止他们的地位，他就会扰乱他们的平安，打击他们的精神，并切断他们所有努力的力量。
