羅馬書十二章12節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
在指望中要喜樂;在患難中要忍耐;禱告要恆切。
 
羅馬書12章12節給我們很豐富的教導。我們能夠喜樂是因為我們有盼望,基督徒的盼望就是上帝,相信祂對我們一生的帶領及每天的恩典與保守。當我們遇上困難的時候,我們要學習忍耐,忍耐是因盼望而來的,而盼望是從禱告中得來的。
 
恆切的禱告是現代基督徒最缺乏的,我們遇上問題會去禱告,但平常的生活卻缺乏禱告的操練。禱告讓我們到神的面前,去聆聽、去跟從、去親近我們的主,若沒有這個操練,往往找不到在主裡的盼望,更沒有從神而來的力量去忍耐不同的景況。
 
禱告:
主耶穌,我們要來親近祢,恆切禱告,求主加給我們禱告的動力。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們!
 
Romans 12:12
 
Chapter 12 of the book of Romans is a passage full of spiritual truth and teaching.  Every verse gives us thoughts and reflections.  12:12 gives us a few spiritual lessons.  We find joy only if we have hope in the Lord.  At difficult times we find strength and perseverance because of the hope we have.  These spiritual characters are built through our faithful prayers.
 
Praying consistently is what we lack.  We may pray when we have needs and we ask God for relief.  Yet we do not pray consistently.  Prayers is our only source of strength for it brings us to the presence of God, to listen and obey. Through prayers we find hope and strength in Him.
 
Lord may we stay close to You through faithful prayers.
