醫治

醫治
聖經閱讀：詩篇6:1-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2012年12月8日(六)

一個月會有一次，我的教會會邀請有病痛的人到講台前面來，然後我們會為他們禱告，求上帝醫治他們。有時候，上帝會藉由現代醫術來醫治人，但也有時候，許多人只有藉著禱告才能被醫治。 　詩篇第6篇的作者身體「衰殘」(第2節)，他向上帝說：「求你醫治，因為我精力耗盡。我的身心陷於痛苦中」(第2-3節)；這位作者禱告，求上帝醫治他。當我們經由禱告得著醫治時，這是來自上帝特別的恩典。 　當上帝醫治人時，祂可以醫治人們的身、心，和靈。當我們禱告並求上帝醫治時，我們的信心會更加堅定，同時我們也會明白肉體不能長存，而讓我們更加倚靠上帝。 　今天你需要上帝的醫治嗎？向祂禱告並承認你的過犯，然後請求祂賜下對你最好的照顧。 —AS 「他垂聽我求助的呼喊；他悅納我的禱告。」 詩篇6:9 禱告：上帝，請憐憫我們並且醫治我們。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (EHI譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Healing
Bible Reading: Psalm 6:1-10
December 8, 2012

Once a month, my church invites people who are sick to come forward. Then we pray for them and ask God to heal them. Sometimes God works through modern medicine to heal people. But other times, people are only healed through prayer. 　The writer of Psalm 6 was “sick and weak” (verse 2a). He said to God, “Heal me! My bones are shaking. My whole body is shaking” (verses 2b-3a). The writer prayed and asked God to heal him. When healing comes through our prayers, it is a special gift from God. 　When God heals someone, He can heal them physically, mentally and spiritually. When we pray and ask God to heal us, our faith is strengthened and we learn that our physical bodies will not last forever. That makes us depend on God even more. 　Do you need God’s healing today? Pray to Him, confess your sins and then ask Him to do what is best for you. —AS “The Lord heard my prayer. And the Lord accepted and answered my prayer.” Psalm 6:9 PRAYER: God, please have mercy on us and heal us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
