تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
كانت بداية العام صعبة بالنسبة لأناس اهتم لأمرهم. ربما نفس الشيء حدث معك أو أشخاص تحبهم. صلاتى لأجلك و لأجلهم ان تشعروا بالراحة بحضور الله. رغن أن العدد الذي يقول "ايضا اذا سرت في وادي ظل الموت لا أخاف شرا لأنك معي" يبدو كأبيات شعرية الا أن حضور الله حتمي و ضروري جدا لمواجهة الامنا و مخاوفنا. لن الله يشتاق ان يكون معنا خاصة فى مثل تلك الاوقات التى نشعر فيها بالوحدة. لقد اخبرنا ذلك عندما اختبر الألم وحيدا على الصليب.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The beginning of the year is a trying time for people I care about. Maybe it's been that way for you or those you love. My prayer for you, and for them, is that they may know the comfort of God's presence. Whether it's the popular little poem "Footprints in the Sand" or the familiar "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me..." (Psalm 23:4 KJV). The presence of the Lord is absolutely vital to us if we are going to stand up for him and stand firm in the face of trial. The Lord does long to be with us, especially in those moments when we feel most alone and abandoned. He told us that by experiencing anguish himself and being alone on the cross. You can lean in, call upon, and have your hope in Jesus because he has been in the places you were hurting and came through to give us a way to God's steadfast presence.
صلاتي
انا شاكر لك يا الله لأنك رفضت ان تكون الاله البعيد عنا. و لأنك اتيت و شعرت بالاحساس ان تكون وحيدا متروكا و منبوذا, اثق تماما انك لن تخذلنى ابدا. من فضلك اجعل حضورك في حياتي واضحا لى اكثر. في اسم يسوع اصلي. آمين.
My Prayer...
I am thankful, O God, that you refused to be God from a safe distance. Because you came and felt what it was like to be abandoned, forsaken, and alone in Jesus, I know I can trust that you will never forsake me. Please give me a clearer sense of your presence with me in my life today, however, because I need to feel you close to me in these trying times. I pray through Jesus, and because of his assurance. Amen.
