对今日诗句的想法
曾有多少次说“错”话?我说错的次数远胜过我能记得的次数。主耶稣说过“心里所充满的,口里就说出来”——非常令人信服。换言之,我们言语中糟糕的言辞与错误的时间,更大程度上取决于我们的内心而非社交的技巧与得体。让我们祈求神洁净、修正我们的内心,使我们的心灵重新聚焦于神的旨意与热情。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How many times have you said just the "wrong" thing? For me, it is more often than I would like to recall. Jesus words on this topic are indeed convicting to me: "Out of the abundance of the heart does the mouth speak." In other words, poor words and bad timing in our speech are more issues of our heart than issues of social skills and decorum. Let's ask God to purify, mend, and re-focus our heart on his will and passions.
我的祷告
全能的神,满有慈爱与怜悯的天父啊,愿你洁净我的心,除去一切邪恶、仇恨、诡诈、偏见、恶意与贪婪。愿主耶稣大能的圣名驱除一切能够污染心灵、有损灵魂的邪恶力量与诱惑人的试探。愿主将爱、恩典、公义、圣洁的热情、温柔、忍耐、警觉、鼓舞、坚定的信心与饶恕充满我的心。愿主赐予我洞察力,使我在任何情形下都能懂得使用这些品格。愿主以圣灵洁净我的身心。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Almighty God, loving and merciful Father, please purify my heart of all evil, hate, duplicity, prejudice, malice, lust and greed. By the powerful name of Jesus, please drive away any evil power or enticing tempation that would corrupt my heart and wound my soul. Fill my heart with love, grace, righteousness, holy passion, gentleness, forebearance, sensitivity, courage, conviction, and forgiveness. Give me discernment to know which of these qualities are needed at any given moment. Sanctify me, body, soul, and spirit with your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
