对今日诗句的想法
有时候,我们的祷告似乎四处碰壁;有时候,我们的祷告因受情绪的影响或言辞的限制而无法完全表达我们的内心。感谢神的应许——我们祷告的力量决不在于我们的话语,而是依靠神的恩典,依靠神所赐的圣灵为我们代求!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Sometimes, our prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling like BBs and fall to the floor, rattling around under our feet and tripping us up in mockery of our requests. Other times, we are overcome with emotion, and the words of our prayers can't begin to capture what's crashing around in our hearts. Thanks be to God for the assurance that the power of our prayers is not dependent upon the choice of our words but upon his grace given us by the Holy Spirit's intercession. The Holy Spirit presents our requests — our words, our emotions, and even the things beyond our words and emotions — and he does so to God powerfully and acceptably, no matter what comes out of our hearts and mouths!
我的祷告
圣洁的神、慈爱的天父啊,感谢你将圣灵赐给了我们,使我们能够通过圣灵得到确据——当我们祷告时,你垂听我们的话语、思想和我们的心声。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Holy God and loving Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, through whom I have the ultimate assurance that you hear and accept my words, thoughts, emotions, and even the conflicts of my heart when I pray. In Jesus' name, I thank you for this grace. Amen.
