祷告(P-R-A-Y)!

Apr 25, 2024

要寻求耶和华和祂的能力,时常来到祂面前。(历代志上16:11)

为了帮助你记住祷告的四个部分,思考一下祷告这个英文单词的拼写(P-R-A-Y)。P表示赞美(Praise)主!不知道怎么赞美?认为自己无话可说?如果你使用经文就不会出现这样的情形。大卫在历代志上29:11-13给我们立了美好的榜样,是你可以效法的:“耶和华啊,伟大、权能、荣耀、尊贵和威严都是你的,天上地下的一切都是你的。耶和华啊,国度是你的,你是万有的主宰。富贵和尊荣都从你而来,你掌管一切,你手中有权能和力量,能使人尊大、强盛。我们的上帝啊,我们称颂你,赞美你荣耀的名。”R表示悔改(Repent)你的罪!如同高温把金属的杂质带出表面,好让冶炼工人除去一样,你的祷告时间也会揭示你必须改变的态度、必须打破的习惯,以及必须除去阻挡祝福的障碍。仅仅告诉上帝你的罪还不够。祂已经知道了。你必须求祂帮助你远离它们。这才是真正的悔改。A表示求告(Ask)。为你自己和别人求告上帝。你的祷告邀请上帝介入你的情况,而你的信心启动祂的能力来改变环境。祷告不存在距离,也没有克服不了的文化或语言障碍。当我们祷告的时候,就像是打开电源开关,事情开始运作起来。耶稣说:“我要把天国的钥匙交给你。……凡你在地上释放的,在天上也要释放。”(马太福音16:19)Y表示降服(Yield)。将你自己降服于上帝的旨意里!宣告耶稣基督在你生命当中的主权,就如同在一张空白支票的底下签上你的名字,然后邀请祂来填写金额。
