聖經閱讀：以弗所書6:18-20 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年9月30日(二)
在今天的經文中，保羅鼓勵以弗所的基督徒禱告，他說（第18a節）：「隨從聖靈的帶領禱告」。保羅希望這些人和上帝有好的溝通。保羅同時說：「你們要在禱告中祈求上帝的幫助」（第18b節）。保羅希望這些基督徒知道，他們可以在任何時間禱告，也可以跟上帝談任何事情。保羅的話一定大大地鼓勵了他們。 保羅接著在第18b節說：「要不斷地為信徒們禱告。」我們必須為其他基督徒禱告，我們應該禱告祈求他們會信心堅強，並祈求上帝會供應他們日常的需要。然後在第19節，保羅要求這些人為他禱告，為什麼呢？因為這樣他才可以繼續宣講耶穌。當我們的牧師、聖經課老師和宣教士傳揚耶穌福音的時候，我們應該為他們禱告。 你務必要留心聆聽保羅的教導，並且花時間禱告。 —CW* 「你們應該一無掛慮；要在禱告中把你們所需要的告訴上帝，用感謝的心祈求。」 腓立比書4:6
禱告：親愛的上帝，因著祢的信實和慈愛，我讚美祢。感謝祢留心聆聽我的禱告。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們！

Letter to Ephesus (7)
Bible Reading: Ephesians 6:18-20

In our Bible verses today, Paul encouraged the Ephesian Christians to pray. He said (verse 18a), “Pray in the Spirit at all times.” Paul wanted these people to have good communication with God. Paul also said, “Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need” (verse 18b). Paul wanted these Christians to know that they could pray anytime and talk to God about anything. Paul’s words must have encouraged them a lot. Paul continued in verse 18b, “Always pray for God’s people.” We need to pray for other Christians. We should pray that they will stay strong in their faith and that God will provide their daily needs. Then in verse 19 Paul asked the people to pray for him. Why? So that he could continue preaching about Jesus. We should pray for our pastors, Bible teachers and missionaries as they share the Good News about Jesus. Be sure that you pay attention to Paul and take time to pray. —CW* “Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have.” Philippians 4:6
PRAYER: Dear God, I praise You for Your faithfulness and love. Thank You for paying attention to my prayers. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
