讀經：提摩太前書第二章。
默想：「我勸你，第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝；為君王和一切在位的，也該如此，使我們可以敬虔、端正、平安無事的度日。」（提前2:1-2 ）
默想一：為什麼基督徒為萬人和各國執政掌權者代禱是很重要？因為那是神的吩咐。我們藉著代禱支取天上的寶庫，供應多人的需要。也藉著代求，使我們參與天父在普天下各處的聖工。我們為萬人禱告，因那正是神要拯救萬人的旨意。我們為執政掌權者代禱，就等於是我們承認那真正掌握國家權柄的是我們的神，神能使用他們來成就神美好的祝福。
默想二：基督徒的代禱為什麼是榮耀的『特權』？因爲禱告不僅與天父上帝親近，也表明我們是神的兒女，祂不會留下任何的好處不給我們。我們與神同工，就有責任愛祂所愛，行祂所行。我們蒙召成為服事神和服事人的祭司，祭司的職責之一便是在神面前守望禱告。不要輕看你的代禱，神可以翻轉一切不可能的事。
禱告：阿爸父神，感謝袮美好的旨意，就是願萬人得救，不願一人沉淪。我不能像宣教士那樣地在前線傳福音，也不像教會裡的同工那樣地服事，但袮給了我機會參與代禱的事奉。求祢擴展我的禱告視野，不僅為自己、家庭、教會禱告，也為教育界、政治界、商業界、體育界、文藝界、電影業、媒體界等禱告，求神潔淨各行各業，讓神的旨意行在地上如同行在天上。奉主耶穌的名禱告，阿們！
Bible Reading: 1 Timothy 2.
Insight:“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” (1Ti 2:1-2)
Insight one: Why is it important for Christians to pray for all people and those in power in all countries? That is because it is God’s commandment. Through supplication, we bestow the treasure out of the house in heaven and provide the needs of many people. Through intercession, we are involved in the ministries of heavenly Father all around the world. We pray for all people, because to save all people is truly God’s will. When we make intercession for those in power, we are tantamount to our acknowledging that it is our God who truly holds the authority of the country, and God can use them to fulfill God’s beautiful blessings.
Insight two: Why a Christian’s supplication is a glorious privilege? It is because prayer not only brings us closer to God heavenly Father, but also declares that we are God’s children. No good thing does he withhold from us. When we laborer together with God, we have the responsibility to love what He loves and do what He does. When we are called to be God’s priests to serve God and people, one of the duties of a priest is to watch and pray before God. Don’t underestimate your supplication; God can overturn all impossible things.
Prayer: Abba heavenly Father, thank You for Your beautiful will, which is to have all people to be saved and not wish any should perish. I cannot preach the gospel at the front line like a missionary, nor serve like Church co-workers, but You have given me the opportunity to participate in the ministry of supplication. Please help me to expand my vision in prayers, not only for myself, my family, the church, but also for the fields in education, politics, business, sports, entertainments, media, and others. May God cleanse all the fields so that God’s will can be done, as in heaven, so in earth. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
