需要幫助
聖經閱讀：羅馬書8:26-27 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年5月30日(六)

世上有許多人需要眼鏡來幫助他們看東西，有些人需要助聽器來改善他們的聽力，但是有些人會害怕或不好意思戴上眼鏡或裝助聽器，所以他們就繼續這樣子，看不清楚或聽不見。 　有時候我們的禱告生活需要幫助，但是我們卻害怕或不好意思承認我們需要幫助。明白上帝的旨意從來不是一件容易的事情，所以上帝就賜下幫助來加強我們的禱告生活。 　上帝賜給我們的幫助就是聖靈，經文閱讀的第26節告訴我們：「……我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助。我們原不知道該怎樣禱告；可是聖靈親自用言語所不能表達的歎息為我們向上帝祈求。」 　上帝的聖靈是一份奇妙的禮物！不要害怕或覺得不好意思，當你向上帝禱告的時候，就請求聖靈幫助你。 －PD* 「洞察人心的上帝知道聖靈的意思，因為聖靈依照上帝的旨意，替他的子民祈求。」 羅馬書8:27 禱告：天父，感謝祢賜下幫助我向祢禱告的聖靈。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Needing Help
Bible Reading: Romans 8:26-27
Saturday, May 30, 2015

Many people in the world need glasses to help them see or hearing aids to help them hear. But some people are afraid or embarrassed to wear glasses or hearing aids. So they go on in life, not being able to see or hear well. 　Sometimes we need help in our prayer life. But we are afraid or embarrassed to admit that we need help. It is not always easy for us to know God’s will. So God has given us help to strengthen our prayer life. 　This help that God gives us is His Holy Spirit. Verse 26 of our Bible Reading tells us, “...the Spirit helps us. We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. We don’t know how to pray as we should but the Spirit himself speaks to God for us. He begs God for us, speaking to him with feelings too deep for words.” 　God’s Holy Spirit is a wonderful gift! Don’t be afraid or embarrassed. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you as you pray to God. —PD “God already knows our deepest thoughts. And he understands what the Spirit is saying, because the Spirit speaks for his people in the way that agrees with what God wants.” Romans 8:27 PRAYER: Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit Who helps me pray to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
