The Word and Prayer 神的话和祷告

January 8	正月八日

The Word and Prayer	神的话和祷告

Quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word .- Psalm 119:107 -	耶和华啊，求你照你的话将我救活！ - 詩篇 119：107
Prayer and the Word of God are inseparable and should always go together in the quiet time of the inner chamber. In His Word, Gods speaks to me; in prayer, I speak to God. If there is to be true fellowship, God and I must both take part. If I simply pray without using God’s Word, I am apt to use my own words and thoughts. To really give prayer its power, I must take God’s thoughts from His Word and present them before Him. Then I am enabled to pray according to God’s Word. How indispensable God’s Word is for all true prayer!	祷告和神的话是分不开的，常我们灵修的时候，祷告和读经应该同时进行。神藉着圣经向我说话，我在祷告中与神交谈，唯有神和我彼此谈心，才是真正的交通。若我只是祷告而不用神的话语，所用的便是自己的话和自己的思想，若要祷告有力量，最好是把从神的话里得着神的心意，在神面前默想，这样我才能照着神的旨意祷告。神
When you pray, you must seek to know God correctly. It is through the Word that the Holy Spirit gives you right thoughts of Him. The Word will also teach you how wretched and sinful you are. It reveals to you all the wonders that God will do for you and the strength He will give you to do His will. The Word teaches you how to pray with strong desire, with firm faith, and with constant perseverance. The Word teaches you not only what you are, but also what you may become through God’s grace. Above all, it reminds you each day that Christ is the great Intercessor, and allows you to pray in His name.	当我祷告的时候，我必须寻求正确的认识神。圣灵是藉着圣经－神的话，给我们正确的思想来认识他；神的话也要使我明白我是如何的邪恶和有罪。圣经向我启示神为我所做一切奇妙的事，并且使我看见神要给我能力来遵行他的旨意。神的话教导我怎样用热切的渴望，坚定的信心和恒久的忍耐来祷告。神的话不只使我看清我现在的光景；更重要的，圣经每天提醒我，基督是我的中保，为我在神面前代求，并允许我奉他的名祷告。
O Christian, learn this great lesson, to renew your strength each day in God’s Word, and thereby pray according to His will.	基督徒啊！学习这个功课，使你的能力在神的话里日日更新并且照他的旨意祷告。
Now let us turn to the other side : prayer. We need prayer when we read God’s Word : prayer to be taught by God to understand His Word, prayer that through the Holy Spirit we may rightly know and use God’s Word, prayer that we may see in the Word that Christ is all in all, and will be all in us.	现在我们再说另一面：祷告。当我们读神的话语时，我们也需要祷告：祈求神教导我明白他的话，求圣灵帮助我能正确的认识并使用神的话，求神使我从他的话中看见基督是一切的
Blessed inner chamber, where I may approach God in Christ through the Word and prayer! There I may offer myself to God and His service and be strengthened by the Holy Spirit, so that His love may be poured out in my heart ( see Romans 5:5 ) and I may daily walk in that love.	在这充满祝福的内室里，藉着读经和祷告，使我在基督里与神更亲近，以致我将自己献给神作他的仆人，使我得着圣灵的能力，将神的爱浇灌在我心里（见罗马书5:5），以致我每天行在主的爱里。
