对今日诗句的想法
在一个充满罪行、犯罪团伙和欺压者的世界中，倘若我们想要影响现今文化中的暴力面，使其改正，那就意味着有真正的挑战迎接着我们。也许我们应当以跪拜在父面前作为这项工作的开端，祈求父神使用我们来改变这个暴力的世界！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In a world of organized crime, gangs, militias, corrupt leaders, people traffickers, and sexual predators, we have some real work cut out for us if we as God's people are going to influence the violent part of contemporary culture to change its ways. Maybe the place to start is down on our knees before the Father, asking him to use us to make a difference in our violent world! When we see the eruptions of violence in media reports in our day, let's hit our knees and pray the prayer David prayed in Psalm 7:
O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.
我的祷告
慈爱的主、万民的父啊，请饶恕我们所做的任何容忍或接受在当今世界许多方面所滋生的暴力。请终结邪恶与暴力敌对。挫败并击溃那些使用暴力的人。愿你的百姓作出榜样：满有生命的果效、心怀怜悯、生活无暴力。对于所有面临暴力威胁的人们，愿主因着他们的信心赐予他们力量与保护。奉主耶稣基督名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Loving Lord and Father of all peoples, please forgive us for anything we have done to condone or accept the violence entrenched in many parts of our world and cultures today. Please bring the evil and hostile eruptions of violence in our day to an end. Frustrate and defeat those who use violence to intimidate, enslave, and destroy people who are precious to you. May your people be an example of righteous, compassionate, and non-violent living. Please give strength and protection to all who face the threat of violence because of their faith. In Jesus' name, we plead for the redemption of our world. Amen.
