对今日诗句的想法
乍一看，这个寻求帮助的呼求似乎像是命令。但仔细看过之后，发现这真是绝望的呼求。你有过这样的经历吗？我就经历过，我也经常收到教会弟兄姐妹的来信，他们就正处在这样的经历中。可是看看这句诗句是如何结尾的？！长久承受巨大痛苦的秘诀是什么？我深信有三点是至关重要的：1)诚实地向神祷告；2)相信神会垂听我们的祷告，相信神顾念我们，即使我们的祷告充满痛苦和沮丧；3)衷心赞美神，因为即使一切看似暗淡无光，神都在我们的祷告中。这三条并非魔法方程式，但却是圣灵所默示的——可查考诗篇第四章！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
At first, this cry for help seems very demanding of us on God. Closer inspection shows that this is really a cry of desperation. Have you been there? I surely have, and I regularly hear from folks who are there now. But, dear friend in Jesus, read how this Psalm ends! What is the secret to surviving a long agony? I believe three things are important:
- Honesty in our prayer life with God.
- Confidence that God hears and cares even when our prayers sizzle with pain and frustration.
- Genuine praise for God that is included in our prayers even when things seem bleak and God feels distant.
Such an approach to prayer is not a magical formula but a Spirit-inspired one — check it out in Psalm 4!
我的祷告
神啊，请垂听我寻求安慰的呼求！也愿你安慰那些我所爱的人们，救他们脱离苦难、重担和痛苦。请以奇妙、神奇的方式回应我们的祷告，使我们不仅能得安慰，更使你的名得荣耀！奉主耶稣基督名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
O God, please hear my cry for relief and the relief of those I love who are in agony from their burdens and suffering. Please answer in amazing and miraculous ways so that we may not only be relieved, but you may be glorified by those who see you working in the lives of ordinary but desperate people. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
