When man listens, God speaks; when man obeys, God acts; when man prays, God empowers. ~ E. Stanley Jones
當人聆聽時,神說話;當人順服時,神行動;當人祈禱時,神賜能力。
The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, “O God, forgive me,” or “Help me”!
~Billy Graham
基督徒的生活並非總在高峰。當受到極大的挫折時,我會來到神面前,流淚向祂禱告說:「神啊,饒恕我」或「幫助我」!
Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world. ~Myles Munroe
禱告是我們邀請上帝介入人類的事務,是我們要求上帝以祂的方式,在這世界上行事。
Fight all your battles on your knees and you win every time. ~Charles Stanley
跪下來禱告,你的每一仗都能打贏。
True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that—it is spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth. ~Charles Spurgeon
禱告既不是心理上的演練,也不是話語的展現。更深入的說,禱告是與天地創造者靈裡的交流。
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
你們要呼求我,禱告我,我就應允你們。你們尋求我,若專心尋求我,就必尋見。(耶29:12-13)
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
總要警醒禱告,免得入了迷惑。你們心靈固然願意,肉體卻軟弱了。(太26:41)
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
這稱為我名下的子民,若是自卑、禱告,尋求我的面,轉離他們的惡行,我必從天上垂聽,赦免他們的罪,醫治他們的地。(代下7:14)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求,和感謝,將你們所要的告訴神。神所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裏保守你們的心懷意念。(腓4:6-7)
