A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
祈祷
Prayer
What most of all hinders heavenly consolation is that you are too slow in turning yourself to prayer.
最妨碍属天安慰的是，你太迟才开始祷告。
Prayer is the human response to the perpetual outpouring of love by which God lays siege to every soul.
祷告是人类对永恒的爱的回应，神藉著爱来包围每一个灵魂。
Sincerity is the prime requisite in every approach to the God who ... hates all hypocrisy, falsehood, and deceit.
真诚是接近上帝的首要条件，上帝……憎恨一切虚伪、虚伪和欺骗。
In Fellowship; alone To God, with Faith, draw near, Approach His Courts, besiege His Throne With all the power of Prayer.
在奖学金;你当存着信心，独自亲近神，进他的院宇，用祷告的大能围困他的宝座。
Prayer that is born of meditation upon the Word of God is the prayer that soars upward most easily to God's listening ears.
默想神的话语所产生的祷告，是最容易被神听见的祷告。
Though smooth be the heartless prayer, no ear in heaven will mind it; And the finest phrase falls dead, if there is no feeling behind it.
没有心肝的祷告，虽然顺利，天上却没有耳朵听;如果没有感情在背后支撑，最好的短语也会消亡。
The physical voice we use in prayer need not be great nor startling; even should we not lift up any great cry or shout, God will yet hear us.
我们在祷告时所用的声音不必是伟大的，也不必是惊人的;我们就是不大声呼喊，神也必听我们。
God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.
上帝，我们的创造者，在我们的思想和个性中储存了巨大的潜在力量和能力。祷告帮助我们开发这些能力。
I began to pray those same fervent prayers, lying in bed at night, hoping to see a scroll unrolled from the ceiling with a message from God just for me.
晚上，我躺在床上，希望看到一卷纸从天花板上展开，上面写着上帝给我的信息。
If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer: Intercession is a way of loving others.
如果我们真的爱别人，我们对他们的渴望将远远超过我们所能给予他们的，这将引导我们祷告:代祷是爱别人的一种方式。
Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.
我们的父不时从我们心里说的一个字，比我们不加注意、急促地多次祷告，更能成就我们的事。
Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
祷告是承诺。我们不只是在某些事情上与神合作。我们，全体人民，合作。这意味着合作等于承诺。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Every chain that spirits wear crumbles in the breadth of prayer.
灵魂所戴的每一根锁链，在祷告的广度上都是破碎的。
It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer.
这是撒但常见的试探，当我们的喜乐没有了，就叫我们放弃读经和祷告;好像我们不喜欢圣经的时候，读它就没有用处;又好像我们没有祷告的灵，祷告就没有用处。
I still say the 'Lord's Prayer' every day. It covers a lot of ground in our relation to the world.
我仍然每天都做主祷文。它涵盖了我们与世界关系的很多方面。
Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.
祷告需要更多的心，而不是舌头。
The clue is not to ask in a miserly way-the key is to ask in a grand manner.
关键不在于吝啬地提问，而在于宏大地提问。
