信心

☘️ 神垂聽我們的禱告，並藉著聖靈幫助我們親近祂

OUR Father, Thou dost hear us when we pray. Thou hast provided an advocate and intercessor in heaven now. We cannot come to Thee unless Thy Holy Spirit shall suggest desire and help us while we plead. We would ask that the subject which caused such conflict to Paul may be beyond conflict with us. May we know the Christ and have Him to be our all in all. We would have the conflict about others, but may we be past it for ourselves. He is everything to us, more than all in Him we find. We do accept Thee, Lord Jesus, to be made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. We will not look out of Thee for anything, for everything is in Thee. Our sin is pardoned. Our sinful nature is subdued. We have a perfect righteousness. We have an immortal life. We have a sure hope. We have an immovable foundation. Why should we look beyond Thee? Why should we look within to ourselves, knowing that Thou shalt be the only well from which we will draw the living water, the only foundation upon which we will be builded. We would thrust out new rootlets this day and take fresh hold on the blessed soil in which grace has planted us.

親愛的天父，祢垂聽我們的禱告，並已為我們在天上預備了一位中保和代求者。若非聖靈感動我們的心、幫助我們懇求，我們無法親近祢。我們求祢使那曾讓保羅極力爭戰的議題(羅馬書 Romans 7:18-25)，在我們身上不再成為爭戰。願我們真認識基督，並以祂為我們的一切。關於別人的爭戰我們可以經歷，但對我們自己，願我們已經得勝。祂是我們的全部，在祂裡面我們得著超乎一切的豐盛。主耶穌，我們接受祢成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔與救贖（參見：哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 1:30）。我們不再在祢以外尋求任何東西，因為一切都在祢裡面。我們的罪已得赦免，罪性被制服，我們有完全的義、永生的生命、確實的盼望和堅固的根基（詩篇 Psalms 62:2）。我們為何還要尋找祢以外的？我們為何還要倚靠自己？祢是我們活水的泉源，是我們建造的唯一根基。今天我們要伸出新的根，緊緊抓住恩典所栽種的福地。
經文註釋：羅馬書 Romans 7:18-25; 哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 1:30；詩篇 Psalms 62:2

☘️ 我們渴望更深經歷基督，與祂聯合並結出屬靈果實

O Savior, reveal Thyself anew, teach us a little more, help us to go a little deeper into the divine mystery. May we grip Thee and grasp Thee. May we suck out of Thee the nutriment of our spirit. May we be in Thee as a branch is in the stem and may we bear fruit from Thee. Without Thee we can do nothing.

救主啊，求祢再一次向我們顯明自己，多教導我們一點，使我們能更深入明白屬天的奧祕。願我們緊緊抓住祢，從祢那裡吸取屬靈的養分。願我們如枝子連於葡萄樹，從祢得著生命，並結出屬祢的果子（約翰福音 John 15:5）。離了祢，我們就不能做什麼。
經文註釋：約翰福音 John 15:5

☘️ 我們認罪悔改，求主赦免過去的偏離，並賜我們活在基督裡的生命

Forgive, we pray Thee, Thy servants, any wanderings during the past. If we have forgotten Thee, forget not us. If we have acted apart from Thee, forgive the act. Blot out the sin. Help us in the future to live only as we live in Thee, to speak, and even to think, as in union with our living Head. Take away from us all life which is contrary to the life of Christ. Bring us into complete subjection in Him, until for us to live shall be Christ in every single act of life. May we walk humbly with God in joyful faith in the finished work of Christ.

主啊，求祢赦免我們過去一切的偏離。若我們曾忘記祢，求祢不要忘記我們；若我們曾離開祢行事，求祢赦免我們的行為，塗抹我們的罪。幫助我們今後只在祢裡面生活、說話、甚至思想，都與我們這位活著的元首聯合。除去一切與基督生命相違背的生命，使我們完全順服於祂，直到我們每一個行動都活出基督（加拉太書 Galatians 2:20）。願我們以謙卑的心，因信基督成就的工而與神同行。
經文註釋：加拉太書 Galatians 2:20

☘️ 主按照我們的需要賜福，無論軟弱、困難或喜樂，祂都能供應

Savior, look on Thy beloved ones and give blessings according to our necessities. We cannot pray a prayer that would comprise all, but Thou canst, Great Intercessor, plead for each one and get for each one of us the blessing wanted. Are we depressed? Give us stronger faith. Have we become worldly? Pardon this great offense and lead us more into spiritual things. Have we become joyous, but have forgotten the source of Joy? Lord, sweeten and savor that joy with the sweet perfume of Thine own presence. Have we to preach and do we feel weak? Oh! be our strength. Are we engaged in the Sunday school and have we seen little success? Lord, teach us how to teach. Give us our boys and girls to be our spiritual reward. Are we sickly? Have we those that vex us because they are unholy and ungodly? This, indeed, is a terrible trial to many. Lord, help them, both in their personal sickness and in this great spiritual trouble. Have we dear ones whom we love with all our hearts, who pine before our eyes? Lord, have pity upon them and restore them, and give them patience to bear pain and give us resignation to Thy will in this matter. Whatever the trial of Thy servants, make a way of escape that we may be able to bear it. Our great concern, however, is to grow in grace and to become like our Master. We struggle and we struggle, but how small our progress! Lord, help us in any matter in which we have felt defeated. If we have been betrayed through want of watchfulness, Lord forgive and help another time. If any of Thy servants have lost the brightness of their evidence, give them to come to Christ as sinners if they cannot come as saints. And if through Satan’s temptation any are sorely put to it, even to keep their feet, hold them up, and if any have fallen, help them to say, “Rejoice not against me, O, mine enemy; when I fall I shall arise.”

救主啊，求祢按我們的需要賜下祝福。我們無法為所有人都禱告完全，但祢這位偉大的中保能為每一位代求，並賜下所需的恩典。若我們沮喪，求祢加增我們的信心（馬可福音 Mark 9:24）；若我們世俗化，求祢赦免並引導我們更屬靈；若我們喜樂卻忘記了喜樂的源頭，主啊，願祢的同在使我們的喜樂更純美；若我們講道卻感到軟弱，願祢成為我們的力量（腓立比書 Philippians 4:13）；若我們在主日學服事卻見不到果效，主啊，教導我們如何教導，並賜我們屬靈的果子。若我們身體軟弱，或因親人不敬虔而受苦，主啊，求祢幫助他們，無論是身體的病痛還是屬靈的困難。若我們所愛的人在我們眼前受苦，主啊，求祢憐憫並醫治他們，也賜他們忍耐承受痛苦，並使我們能順服祢的旨意。無論祢僕人的試煉是什麼，求祢開出路，使我們能忍受（哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 10:13）。我們最大的關切是要在恩典中長進，更像我們的主。我們雖然努力，進步卻微小，主啊，求祢幫助我們在軟弱中得勝。若因不警醒而失敗，主啊，赦免並再給我們機會。若有僕人失去見證的光輝，若不能以聖徒身份來到祢前，願他們以罪人身份來到基督面前。若因撒但的試探而幾乎站立不住，主啊，扶持他們；若有人跌倒，幫助他們說：「我的仇敵啊，不要向我誇耀！我雖跌倒，卻要起來；我雖坐在黑暗裡，耶和華卻做我的光。」（彌迦書 Micah 7:8）
經文註釋：馬可福音 Mark 9:24；腓立比書 Philippians 4:13；哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 10:13；彌迦書 Micah 7:8

☘️ 為未信者禱告，求主拯救並賜下悔改與新生

Now look in great mercy upon those who are unconverted. Lord, save them. Some are quite careless. Lord, they are dead. Come and quicken them. We cannot see, but Thou canst. Oh! that some of the most obdurate and hardened might be softened by the touch of Thy Spirit this very day and may others who are not careless, but who are even seeking after eternal life, but who are going the wrong way to work, may they be shown their error, may they be led in the way by Thee, may they look, and looking, live. We know how many of them are wanting to be this and that before they take Christ to be all in all. May they cease their seeking by finding everything in Christ. As Thou art a prayer-hearing God and a God of pardon, issue many a pardon from Thy heavenly court today, sealed with the Redeemer’s blood, signed with the Father’s name. Oh! today, Lord, ere men grow old in sin, ere they die in their sins, save them with an everlasting salvation.

主啊，求祢憐憫那些還未信主的人，拯救他們。有些人心靈冷漠，主啊，他們是死的，求祢使他們甦醒。我們看不見，但祢能看見。願祢的聖靈今日觸摸最剛硬的人，使他們心軟化；也願那些雖然尋求永生卻走錯路的人，被祢指明錯誤，引導他們走正路，使他們仰望祢並得生命（約翰福音 John 3:14-16）。有許多人總想在信靠基督前達到某種標準，求祢讓他們停止這樣的尋找，在基督裡得著一切。祢是聽禱告的神，也是赦免的神，願祢今天從天上頒布許多赦免，藉著救主的寶血蓋印，天父的名簽署。主啊，趁著人還未老去沉淪，還未死在罪中，求祢以永遠的救恩拯救他們。
經文註釋：約翰福音 John 3:14-16

☘️ 求神賜福國家與城市，並在人群中賜下和諧與興盛

God bless our country and our Sovereign. God bless this city. May there be no disquietude between the different orders of men—the employer and the employed, but may there be a general spirit of goodwill given to the people of this city and do Thou prosper us.

求神賜福我們的國家和領袖，賜福這座城市。願不同階層的人——僱主與受僱者之間沒有紛爭，讓這城裡的人都能彼此善待，並賜我們興盛（耶利米書 Jeremiah 29:7）。
經文註釋：耶利米書 Jeremiah 29:7

☘️ 記念貧窮、孤兒寡婦和心靈憂傷的人，求主安慰與賜下盼望

Remember all people, especially the poor, the widows and the fatherless, and any that are depressed in spirit, whose depression tends to the failure of reason. The Lord restore them and such as are dying. O Lord, let them not die without hope and may Thy believing people learn to pass away without even tasting the bitterness of death. May they enter into rest, each one walking in his own uprightness.

求祢記念所有的人，特別是貧窮的、寡婦、孤兒以及那些心靈受傷、憂鬱到近乎喪失理智的人。主啊，求祢恢復他們，也記念那些臨終的人。主啊，不要讓他們無盼望地離世，願祢的信徒學會安然離世，不嚐死亡的痛苦，進入安息，各人照自己的正直而行（詩篇 Psalms 68:5；約翰福音 John 11:25-26）。
經文註釋：詩篇 Psalms 68:5；約翰福音 John 11:25-26

☘️ 求主保守世代，賜下單純信心，榮耀歸於神

Save this age from its own intellectual pride. Give back the spirit of simple faith in Christ, for we desire His glory. “For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”

主啊，拯救這世代脫離自高自大的知識傲慢，賜回單純信靠基督的心，因我們渴望祂的榮耀。「因為國度、權柄、榮耀，全是祢的，直到永永遠遠。阿們！」（馬太福音 Matthew 6:13）
