对今日诗句的想法
有一种渴望，热情和明确的目的感可以用来形容年轻人 — 也有一些年长者用任性，少经验和急躁来形容年轻人。年龄成就一种确心，因为随着时间的推移的尝试和真正的方法得到验证 — 稳重的，可预测和稳定是一些年轻人可能会形容的。这些差异可能会导致紧张和冲突;但两者有一些相互可以学习的经验教训。无论一位年长些的基督徒犯过什么错误，他或她应该因其来自生活验证的信仰而受到尊重。但年长的基督徒也必须愿意从一个年轻的一个接收修正，尤其是如果是由一位年轻的虔诚的信徒以谦逊，爱和尊重地方式对待那些老年人而提出的。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
There is an eagerness, passion, and a clear sense of purpose that can go with being young — being headstrong, untested, and quick to react is how some older people might describe it. There is a surety with age because of tried and true methods proven over time — staid, predictable, and unmovable is how younger people might describe it. These differences can cause tension and conflict, yet both age groups have something to be learned from the other. No matter how mistaken an older Christian may be, they should be treated with respect from a life proven in faith. But older Christians must also be willing to receive correction from a younger one, especially if it is done prayerfully by a young believer who has demonstrated humility, love, and respect toward older people. Most importantly, we must help each other live passionately for Jesus regardless of age!
我的祷告
永恒的父亲，我祖先历史的上帝和我未来的保障，请帮我做一个正直的人，尤其是当我和那些与我年龄不相仿的人相处时。当我和年长者交流时，愿我持以尊重和小心的语气。当年轻人过来修正我的错误的时候，愿我持以柔软的，开放的态度。最重要的是，父亲，请引导那些爱我到足以原谅我的错误，爱我到足以指出我的错误的人们来到我的生命中，并帮助我成长超越错误。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
O Eternal Father, God of my ancestors' history and the assurance of my future, please help me be a person of integrity, especially when dealing with those not in my age group. Please help me as I seek to be respectful and careful with my tone as I speak with older people. Please help me be pliable and open to change when confronted with my errors by younger people. Most of all, Father, please lead those people into my life who will love me enough to correct me, forgive my errors, and help me grow beyond my faults to become more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
