对今日诗句的想法
怎样才能做到控制情绪不受环境的影响呢？怎样才能从生活的种种局限中得释放呢？这处经文中的最后一项使这条诫命中的前两项得以实现——我们能够在盼望中喜乐、在患难中忍耐，因为我们恒切地祷告。不论我们身处怎样的环境，都可以在喜乐中祷告。因为不论现状如何，我们的盼望都在于主耶稣基督。我们能够保持耐心，通过满怀感恩地向神献上祈求渡过苦难。祷告是神的恩赐，使我们能够在困境中保持忍耐与喜乐。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How can we keep our circumstances from determining our mood?
How can we emancipate ourselves from the limitations that life deals us?
The last in this trio of commandments from Paul opens the door for the other two to be true — we can rejoice in hope and be patient in affliction because we have been faithful in prayer. No matter our situation, we can pray joyfully because of our hope in Christ. We can remain patient, persevering through affliction, by presenting our requests and intercessions to God with thanksgiving. Prayer is God's gift to us so that we can be patient and joyful, even when things don't appear to be going well. We can be joyful in hope and patient in affliction because we are faithful in prayer!
我的祷告
天父啊，感谢你！不论我面对怎样的挣扎，你都向我们承诺了胜利。慈爱的神啊，感谢你！不论经历怎样的困境或重担，我深知你将帮助我们渡过，并以极大的喜乐将我们带到你的面前。愿圣灵的大能救赎我的心脱离沮丧，直至最终胜利、喜乐的那一天！奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, I thank you because no matter my struggles, you assure me of my ultimate victory in Christ Jesus. I thank you, dear God because no matter the hardship or burden I face, I know you will help me through it and bring me into your presence with great joy. So until that day of ultimate and victorious joy, please ransom my heart from discouragement by the power of hope from your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name. Amen.
