1-6節--禱告的含意

希伯來書 第11章

你有否想過，當你禱告的時候，你究竟是在表達甚麼意思？你會唸唸有詞地向神說一些話，而這些說話，其實是表達了一些意思：

我相信確實有一位神。

我相信祂是無所不能的。

我相信祂聽見我的祈禱。

我相信祂愛我、關心我。

我相信祂不單有能力，且願意回應我的禱告。

我相信祂知道甚麼是對我最好的。

我相信我可以放心信靠祂。

世界各地仍有不少人向木頭刻成或石頭造成的偶像禱告，但這些偶像卻不可能聽見。請讀詩篇一一五篇3至9節，看看我們那位在天上的永活神，與這些人手造成的偶像有何天壤之別。

我們禱告的時候，最首要是留意本身禱告的態度。今天的經文告訴我們，我們要抱著信心禱告。換言之，當我們來到神的面前，我們先要承認祂知道甚麼是對我們是最好的。反觀我們平常的禱告，總是要求神為我們做這樣做那樣，彷彿我們已經知道甚麼是對我們最好的；這其實是與真正的禱告背道而馳。

我們在耶穌基督身上，便看到完全信靠神的最佳榜樣，耶穌基督在禱告中向神說：「不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思」。在今天的禱告學校中，我們願意學習這種禱告的態度嗎？

反思：

基督活在世上的時候，也要經常禱告；我當然要更多禱告了。

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE PRAY?

Have you ever realised what you are actually doing when you pray? There are several things that you are saying, not in words, but in the very face that you are praying.

You are saying:

1. I believe there is a God.

2. I believe he is all-powerful.

3. I believe he can hear me.

4. I believe he cares about me and loves me.

5. I believe he can and will answer my prayer.

6. I believe he knows what is best for me.

7. I believe I can trust him.

There are many people living in other parts of the world who pray to a god of wood or stone, but that god never hears them. Read Psalm 115:3-9 and see the contrasts between our living God in heaven and the idols that men make which they call their gods.

One of the most important things about our praying is our attitude while we pray. Our reading tells us that we need to have faith as we pray. Our reading tells us that we need to have faith as we pray. That means we need to come to God recognising that he knows what is best for us. Sometimes we try to tell God what he is to do or even to demand that he should do a particular thing for us. This is contrary to true prayer.

One of the greatest examples of believing, trustful prayer is found in the words of Christ, ‘Not my will, but thine be done’. Can we learn that kind of praying in the school of prayer today?

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Christ prayed often while he was here, so I certainly need to pray more often.
