五根手指的祷告~

有些时候,会不知所措,不晓得该怎么向上帝祷告?

其实,祷告是我们与上帝间的交流,放轻松自己,与上帝享受一个非常喜悦的光阴。

这篇文章无意间在哪个网络找到,但愿能成为弟兄姐妹代祷的指引。

The Five Fingers of Prayer.

1. Your thumb is nearest to you.

So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiests to remember.

To pray for our loved one is, as C.S Lweis once said, a "sweet duty".


2. The next finger is the Pointing Finger.

Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal.This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They

need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.

Keep them in your prayers.


3. The next finger is the Tallest Finger.

It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and

administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion.

They need God's guidance.


4. The fourth finger is our Ring Firnger.

Surprising to many is the fact that is our weakest finger. As any piano will testify. It should

remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and

night.


5. And lastly comes our little finger, the smallest finger of all,

which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others.

As the Bible says,"The least shall be the greatest among you". Your pinkie should

remind you to pray for yourself.

By the time you have prepared for the other four groups, your own needs will be

put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.


Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight, just remember the

homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

祷告,
因为我渺小,
也因为我需要~
