讀經:馬可福音第十一章

默想經文:「凡你們禱告祈求的,無論是什麼,只要信是得著的,就必得著。」(可11:24)

默想一: 神真的那麼大方嗎?祂說無論禱告什麼,祂都垂聽?是的!但必須是在你與神並與人的關係和好的前提下,禱告才能在聖靈的恩膏下帶出能力。我們相信神垂聽,不是我們感覺上信心有多大,而是確信在神面前所禱告的,不僅是神的美意,也是神所要作的。

默想二:你正面臨大難當頭,大到無法喘氣,讓你驚慌失措嗎?放下自己的努力,謙卑地來到主耶穌面前吧!凡靠著祂進到神面前的人,祂都能拯救到底,因為祂是長遠活著,替我們祈求(來7:25)。禱告不是有了事才禱告,乃是讓禱告成為你的生活。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮的應許:“你們若常在我裡面,我的話也常在你們裡面;凡你們所願意的,祈求就給你們成就。”(約15:7)讓我看重每天與袮的關係,是常在袮裡面。因為離了你,我就不能做什麼。求袮加添我信心,我願照袮的心意過儆醒禱告的生活。奉主耶穌寶貴的名禱告。阿們!

Bible Reading: Mark 11.

Insight:  “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mar 11:24)

Insight one: Is God really so generous? Does He say that He will be listening to the prayer no matter what the prayer is? Yes! But you must first have a good relationship with God and with people, then, under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, your prayer can bring forth power. We believe that God listens, not because we feel how strong our faith is, but that we truly believe the prayer before God is not only what God is pleased to do, but also what God wants to do.

Insight two: Do you become panic when you are facing a major catastrophe that makes you out of breath? Let put down your own struggles and humbly come to the Lord Jesus! He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for us (Heb 7:25). Prayer is not to pray when you have needs, but to make prayer become your life.

Prayer: God Heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (Joh 15: 7). Let me value the relationship with You every day and am in You always, for apart from You I can do nothing. Strengthen my faith, so I will live a life to follow Your will, watch and pray. I pray in the precious name of the Lord Jesus. Amen!
