禱告的力量

禱告的力量
聖經閱讀：雅各書5:13-18 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年1月29日(五)

　我去參加了一個關於宣教的國際研討會，現場有一面「禱告牆」，上面寫著不同國家的名字，以及在世界各地的宣教事工。
去了解在世界各地的宣教活動讓我很感動，我為那些國家中不認識耶穌的人民禱告，我特別為我的祖國智利的人民禱告，希望智利的人民可以認識耶穌，以及祂的奇妙救恩禮物。
今天閱讀的經文讓我們知道禱告是很重要的。雅各用以利亞作例子，他禱告求雨，天就下雨。雅各也提醒我們，當遭遇不幸、生病，或是面臨罪的試探時，我們就應該禱告。

今天就花時間禱告吧！為世界上還不認識耶穌的人禱告，也為遇到困難、病痛中的基督徒禱告，上帝會留心聆聽你的禱告！ —MC*

「義人的禱告有很大的功效。」 雅各書5:16b

禱告：天父，感謝祢讓我可以天天向祢禱告，感謝祢永遠留心聆聽我的禱告。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(周維音譯)

Power of Prayer
Bible Reading: James 5:13-18
Friday, January 29, 2016

　I went to an international conference on missions. There they had a “wall of prayer.” Written on a wall were the names of different countries and missions around the world.
I was very touched to read about all the missions in the world. I prayed for people in these countries who do not know Jesus. I prayed especially for people in my home country of Chile. I want people in Chile to know about Jesus and His wonderful gift of salvation.

Our Bible verses today show us that prayer is very important. James gives the example of Elijah who prayed for rain, and it happened. James also reminds us that we should pray when we are having troubles, when we are sick, or when we are struggling with sin.

Spend time in prayer today. Pray for people around the world who do not know Jesus. And pray for Christians who have problems or are sick. God will pay attention to your prayers! —MC*

“Anyone who lives the way God wants can pray, and great things will happen.” James 5:16b

PRAYER: Father, thank You that I can pray to You every day. And thank You for always paying attention to my prayers. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
