8-20節--禱告的障礙

詩篇 第66章

聖經鼓勵我們要每天禱告；因為我們的主曾教導門徒向神禱告說：「我們日用的飲食，今日賜給我們。」大衛曾說：「我必要在早上、中午和晚上禱告。」但以理亦是每天禱告三次。我們呢？我們是經常禱告嗎？

聖經亦教導我們說，只要我們奉主耶穌基督的名和按照神的心意祈禱，神總必垂聽。然而，有些時候，我們卻總是等不到回應，那是甚麼原因呢？

神已經在祂的話語裡面，把其中一些理由告訴我們。神不聽禱告，主要是因為我們有兩個地方出了問題── 就是我們的家和我們的心。

你是否知道，夫婦之間的問題會構成禱告的阻礙？請讀彼得前書三章7節。這當然可以應用到其他的人際關係上；不過彼得在這裡直接提醒做丈夫的：「你要與妻子保持和諧的關係，就正如你要與神保持和好的關係一樣，如此，神必垂聽你的禱告。」這點對你有沒有甚麼提醒呢？

我們的心又怎樣呢？當我們有隱而未認的罪，神便不會垂聽我們的禱告。請讀以賽亞書五十九章1至2節。神並沒有說：「未得救的人不可犯罪，但基督徒卻可以。」這點對你有何提醒呢？

一顆不肯饒恕別人的心，也會阻礙我們的禱告。請看基督在馬太福音六章14怎樣說。饒恕得罪自己的人，有時真的十分困難；可是，我們若想得到神的饒恕，我們若想神垂聽我們的禱告，我們就不得不去饒恕別人。另外，請再讀以弗所書四章32節。

上述的障礙是可以清除的。第一步當然是悔改和認罪。你想為你的禱告生活揭開新的一頁嗎？你想過得勝和蒙福的生活嗎？那麼，你就要先除去一切阻礙你與神相交的障礙了。

WHAT CAN HINDER OUR PRAYERS?
BIBLE READING: Psalm 66: 8 – 20

The Bible encourages us to pray at least every day. Our Lord said we should ask God day by day for our daily bread. David said ‘morning, noon and night will I pray’. Daniel prayed three times a day. How often do we pray?

The Bible also says that when I pray in the name of Christ and in the will of God, I can expect God to answer. But sometimes he doesn’t answer. Why not?

God has shown us in his Word some of the reasons why he can’t always answer. There are two main areas which are mentioned – the home and the heart.

Do you realise that a wrong attitude between husband and wife can stop God answering our prayers? Read 1 Peter 3:7. This can apply to our relationships with others too, but here Peter is saying very plainly to husbands ‘Be right with your wife as well as right with God, if you expect your prayers to be answered’. Does that say anything to you today?

Then what about our hearts? When there is unconfessed sin in the heart God does not answer prayer. Read Isaiah 59:1-2. God cannot say ‘sin is wrong for the unsaved, but it is all right for the Christian’. Does that speak to you today?

An unforgiving spirit can stop answers to our prayers. Read what Christ said in Matthew 6:14. Forgiving someone else is sometimes the hardest thing we are faced with, but if we want to be what God wants us to be; if we want God to answer our prayers, we need to forgive those whom we think have sinned against us. Read Ephesians 4:32 also.

These hindrances can all be taken away. Repentance and confession are the first steps. Do you need to take them today? It could be the beginning of a new life of prayer, victory and blessing. Do you want that? Are you willing to do that today?
