5-14節--主教我們禱告

馬太福音 第6章

對於我們來說，禱告的困難並不在於不懂得說些甚麼，或不知向神求些甚麼，而是在於禱告的態度。昔日的門徒同樣面對這個困難，於是便對耶穌說：「求主教導我們禱告。」(路十一1)

主答應他們的要求，為他們提供了一個禱告的模式和指引。我們稱它為「主禱文」：但它其實並非主自己的禱文，因為祂無須求神赦罪。我們才需要求神赦罪，但耶穌根本沒有犯罪，所以不用祈求赦罪。

因此，這是我們要學習和跟隨的禱告；但我們卻不能不加思考地只懂得唸唸有詞，便以為自己已按教導禱告。這是一個明確的禱告指引。我們禱告的時候，即使是祈求神供應我們所需，也必須懷著赤誠、感恩之心向我們的天父禱告。

我們可以在馬太福音，看見主教門徒禱告的背景。按照基督的教導，我們禱告的時候要留意以下幾點：

1

真誠(太六5)：每個人都可能出現虛偽。我們是發乎內心的祈禱，還是想別人看見我們禱告是多麼虔誠？基督教導我們，禱告必須發乎真誠。

2

簡潔(太六7)：我們要弄清楚的是，基督並非說我們不要重重覆覆地不斷祈求，因為祂在客西馬尼園也是重覆地向神祈求。此外，祂也不是說我們不要長時間祈禱，因為祂本人也曾徹夜禱告。反之，基督乃是教導我們，不要用空洞和無意義的話來不斷重覆禱告，以為禱告多了，神就會垂聽。我們要學習真誠和簡單清晰地禱告。

3

學習主所提供的範例。接著，基督便給我提供了一個禱告的範例和指引，當中教導了我們許多重要原則。但最首要的，是我們要記著，我們禱告的時候是跟我們的天父交談。請再讀禱文一遍，留意當中的重點和祈求的事項，它們正是我們每次禱告都應包括的重點，也是天父期望聽見的禱告。

THE PRAYER OUR LORD GAVE US

BIBLE READING: Matthew 6:5-14

One of our problems in praying is not what to say or what to ask for, but how we should say it. The disciples felt that need. They said to the Lord: Lord teach us to pray (Luke 11:1).

Our Lord responded by giving them a pattern, a guide for their prayers. We call this The Lords Prayer. But it is not really the Lords. For example, this prayer asks for forgiveness of sin. That is one matter about which we often need to pray but Jesus Christ never needed to do so.

So it is our prayer. But it is not a prayer which we should repeat over and over without thinking. It was given as a definite guide for all our praying. Our prayers should be the grateful opening of our hearts to our heavenly Father, even if we are asking Him to supply our needs.

The background of this model prayer is given to us in Matthews Gospel. In speaking about our praying Christ said, our prayers should be:

1. Sincere (Matthew 6:5). The danger of hyprocrisy is always present with all of us. As we pray, are we praying out of a deep sense of need? Or are we merely wanting someone else to see how well we can pray? Christ told us to be sincere when we pray.

2. Simple (Matthew 6:7). It is not merely repeating our requests that Christ is objecting to. He repeated His own requests in Gethsemane several times. Nor does He mean we should not have long periods of prayer. He himself spent whole nights in prayer.

What Christ was warning us about is the empty, meaningless repetition of words which, because of their great number, are supposed to count with God. In our praying let us be sincere and simple.

3. Sample. Then Christ gave a sample prayer, a mode!, a guide for our praying. It teaches us so many aspects of prayer. Most of all when we pray, remember we are talking with our Father. Read the prayer again. Notice those points and the requests which this model prayer covers. These are the points which all our prayers should include, and which our Father will be looking for as we pray.
