对今日诗句的想法
祷告不只是祈求；祷告不只是赞美；祷告不只是感谢；祷告不只是求告或代求，不只是跪拜或谦卑自己。祷告是相信神期待我们的祷告，相信神垂听我们的祷告，相信神会在我们祷告时与我们同在，并且为我们和我们所爱的人成就美好。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When I read this verse, I remember Richard Melton, a beloved elder in a church where I once preached and a dedicated prayer warrior. He would quote this verse every morning before he entered into prayer. He often quoted this verse with tears in his eyes because he did expectantly wait for the Lord to join him and to answer! Why the tears? Because prayer is so much more — more than we realize and more than we can explain. It is more than making requests. It is more than offering praise. It is more than giving thanks. It is more than interceding for others. It is more than the positions we use to pray — kneeling, prostrating, or bowing before God. Prayer is us knowing God wants us there and loves when we "wait in expectation" for him and his answers to our prayers. Prayer is expecting God to act and bring his redemption in response to our prayers. It is eagerly expecting that God will meet us in our prayer time and do what is best for us, and those for whom we pray.
我的祷告
慈爱的天父、永生的神啊，感谢你在此刻的祷告中与我同在。我知道你垂听我的祷告并且在意我向你诉说的一切。感谢你竟关注我，并且接受我作为你所珍爱的孩子。感谢你，奉主耶稣基督名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Loving Father and Eternal God, thank you for meeting me in this prayer time. I know you hear me and care about what I share with you. Thank you for paying attention to someone like me and accepting me as your precious child. Thank you! O ^LORD,^ I wait in expectation to see you move in the lives of people for whom I pray. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
