对今日诗句的想法
神希望听到我们的祷告。然而为了避免我们的祷告过于自我，神希望我们牢记感恩。我们很容易就将祷告变为祈求清单。当我们的祷告缺乏感恩与赞美时，我们便一无所有。若无赞美，我们的心便会昏暗，因我们所想的一切都是问题，祷告也成了愿望清单。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God wants to hear our prayers. But to keep them from becoming too self-focused, God wants us always to remember to give thanks (Philippians 4:6). It is so easy for us to turn prayer into a request-only exercise. We are the ones who are left bereft when thanksgiving and praise are stolen from our prayers. Without praise, our hearts grow dim because all we think about is our problems, and prayer becomes a wish list of stuff we selfishly want as we treat God as our heavenly Santa Claus. If God gave us his Son to show us his love — and he did — what will he withhold? We can trust God to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus as we pray with thanksgiving and remember the loving Father to whom we pray.
我的祷告
恩慈的神啊，我有太多赞美你的理由。当面对试炼和困难，我有你的应许重燃我的盼望。在得胜的时刻，我能够为自己的能力而感谢你。在例行公事的枯燥中，你的惊喜带来无比的喜乐。感谢你如此伟大而慈爱，奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Gracious God, I have so many reasons to praise you. In the face of trial and hardship, I have your promises to reawaken my hope through your presence in my life and the power of the Holy Spirit. In the moment of victories, I have you to thank for my abilities and the power to accomplish things for your glory. In my boredom with the routine, I can find great joy in your surprises. Thank you, God, for being so great and yet so lovingly present and attentive to my needs. In Jesus' name, I thank and praise you. Amen.
