对今日诗句的想法
我很难理解这节经文，因为我蒙神祝福，患难和愁苦此刻也与我无关。然而我知道在世界的许多地方，这正是基督徒的遭遇，他们遭受攻击，饱受迫害甚至死亡的威胁。但他们对神的爱和顺服的决心胜过了撒旦的威胁，因为神的旨意是他们所喜爱的。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This verse is hard for me, because I know I am so blessed. Trouble and distress do not seem to be a part of my vocabulary right now. But I know in many places in the world this statement is true of Christians who are under attack and live under the threat of persecution and possibly even death. But their love for God and their commitment to obedience is greater than Satan's threats because God's will is their delight.
我的祷告
伟大、圣洁的神啊，那些遭受逼迫的教会，求你祝福并使他们得自由。天父啊，即便肉身没有得救赎，愿你保守我和弟兄姐妹们能忠心至死，而非在生活中妥协信仰。求你坚固我们的信心——我们信，但是我们的信不足，求主帮助。求你的圣灵加添力量给我们，使我们能够顺服。我们跌倒时，求你饶恕我们。最重要的是，求你拯救我们，使我们毫无瑕疵地进入你荣耀的同在。我们的救赎和确据都在主里面。奉主耶稣之名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Majestic and holy God, I ask you to bless and liberate your church under persecution. But Father, I also ask that if physical deliverance is not what is coming, I pray for my brothers and sisters and I, that we may be found faithful in death before surrendering to compromise in life. Please strengthen our faith: we believe but help our unbelief. Empower us through your Spirit to be obedient: forgive us when we fall. Most of all, deliver us into your glorious presence without fault. I pray this in the name of Jesus, in whom I find my salvation and assurance. Amen.
