不要停止信靠—-約翰壹書5:14-15[我們若照他的旨意求甚麼, 祂就聽我們. 這是我們向祂所存坦然無懼的心. 既然知道祂聽我們一切所求的, 就知道我們所求於祂的, 無不得著.][理由]上帝未必會以你的方式回應你的禱告, 但是祂會用到祂的方式回應, 在幕後, 祂會移動人, 天氣, 事件, 環境等, 以便為你做最好的事. 真實屬靈的禱告, 乃是求神成全祂的旨意, 就像當日主耶穌在客西馬尼園中禱告說”不要照我的意思, 只要照你的意思.” 太26:39. 真正屬靈的禱告, 並不是支取神的能力以完成我們的心願, 而是求神藉祂的能力作工在我們身上, 改變我們的心願, 使我們的心願符合神的旨意. 從此成就神的旨意. 程序如下:(1) 尋求神的旨意;(2)照神的旨意祈求;(3)知道神必聽此類祈求;(4)知道一切祈求無不得著.[禱告] 親愛的天父上帝, 祢是奇妙的神, 雖然有時我們的不明白祢的作為, 有時我們懷疑祢沒聽见我們的禱告. 但祢是信實的主, 祢的應許也不落空, 祢行奇事並不按照我們的意思, 但卻從不讓我們失望. 感謝祢寶貴的應許和豐盛的恩典, 供應我們身心靈的需要. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們!
Do Not Stop Trusting – 1 John 5:14-15 [This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.] [Explanation] God may not answer your prayers in the way you expect, but He will respond in His own way. Behind the scenes, He moves people, weather, events, and circumstances to work for your best. True spiritual prayer is asking God to fulfill His will, just as Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane: “Not as I will, but as You will.” (Matthew 26:39). Genuine spiritual prayer is not about using God’s power to fulfill our desires but about asking Him to work through His power in us, changing our desires to align with His will, so that His purposes are accomplished. The process of prayer: (1) Seek God’s will. (2) Pray according to His will. (3)Trust that God hears prayers of this kind. (4) Know that He will fulfill what is asked of Him. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father, You are a wonderful and miraculous God. Sometimes we do not understand Your ways, and sometimes we doubt if You have heard our prayers. But You are a faithful Lord, and Your promises never fail. You perform wonders not according to our desires, but You never let us down. Thank You for Your precious promises and abundant grace that meet our needs—body, mind, and spirit. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
