A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
祈祷
Prayer
The man who sows wrong thoughts and deeds and prays that God will bless him is in the position of a farmer who, having sown tares, asks God to bring forth for him a harvest of wheat.
若有人撒种错误的意念和行为，祈求神赐福给他，他就像种了稗子的，求神叫他收麦子一样。
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.
如果我告诉你怎样才能到达最高的境界，你会笑着说不出这么简单的话，但是在弥赛亚把你带到门口之前，你已经听过很多次了，虽然没有人有勇气离开圣殿。
Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they should be helped. In that case, we are asking God to do it our way.
我们当前的诱惑将是要求对具体问题提出具体的解决办法，并要求有能力帮助别人，因为我们已经认为他们应该得到帮助。在这种情况下，我们祈求上帝按照我们的方式来做。
Continuing a Lenten series on prayer: Prayer is co-operation with God. It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us - an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation.
继续四旬斋祷告系列:祷告是与神合作。这是上帝赋予我们的能力中最纯粹的一种运用——一种将这些能力与造物主联系在一起的运用，以实现造物主在创造这些能力时的意图。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
Prayer in private results in boldness in public.
在私底下祷告，结果在公开场合大胆。
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。
Sometimes the best answers to prayer are the ones God doesn't answer.
有时候，对祷告最好的回答是那些神没有回答的。
The simple heart that freely asks in love, obtains.
在爱情中自由要求的单纯的心，得到。
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
祷告使我们与神的旨意一致。
