Why did God will that there should be such a thing as prayer?



Prayer from Dan Stevers on Vimeo.

God created the universe and all that is in it to display the riches of the glory of his grace.

Isaiah 43:6-7 Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, 7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.
Ephesians 1:6, 12, 14 to the praise of his glorious grace…to the praise of his glory…to the praise of his glory.
Romans 9:23 …in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory

31 Biblical Virtues to Pray for Your Children

為您的孩子禱告31個聖經中的美德
by Bob Hostetler

I came across this prayer list on the internet and have been using this list in my daily prayer for my children. The original article is available online here, if you’d like to read the full text. I’ve only included the prayer list with Chinese translation here. I believe the Bible translation used is “NIV” in the original text, and I use Chinese Union Version (CUV) for most of the translation. You may also download a colorful calendar in PDF format for this prayer list.

我在網路上無意間看到了這一個為孩子禱告三十一項聖經美德的清單,我也開始將這份清單的內容加入每天為孩子的禱告中。這份清單的原文可以透過這個連結瀏覽,我在這裡只列出了清單的內容,原文中的聖經經節似乎是來自新國際版的聖經,我也配合中文和合本的內容加入中文翻譯,希望能夠提供華人基督徒父母們為孩子禱告的參考。同時也可下載英文版本的彩色禱告月曆(PDF 格式)。

Prayers for Your Family (in Chinese)

A.S.A.P.

Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.?
Generally we think of it in terms of even more
hurry and stress in our lives. (As Soon As Possible)

If we think of this abbreviation in a different manner,
we may begin to find a new way to deal with our rough times.

A. S. A. P.

Five Finger Prayer

1. Thumb(拇指)

Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you.

They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty".

拇指是最靠近我們的手指,所以開始為我們最親近的人禱告。這是很容易記得的部分,正如 C.S.Lewis曾經說,為我們所愛的人禱告是一件「甜美的工作」。
