天父关怀你-第148章
“你们众民当时时倚靠祂，在祂面前倾心吐意；上帝是我们的避难所”（诗62:8）。{OFC136.1}[1]

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.Psalm 62:8.{OFC 157.1}[1]
天父关怀你-第148章
深切感知我们的需要，和强烈渴望我们所求之事，必须是我们祷告的特征，否则我们的祷告就不会蒙垂听。但是我们不要因为没有立即得到应允，就感到厌倦，停止请愿。“天国是努力进入的，努力的人就得着了”（太11:12）。“努力”在这里的意思是指一种圣洁的热诚，如同雅各所表现的。我们不必设法使自己情绪高涨、情感沸腾；而要平心静气、坚定持续地把我们的请求呈达施恩的宝座前。我们的工作是要在上帝面前谦卑己心，承认我们的罪，并且凭着信心亲近上帝。……上帝的计划是要在祂天意的安排和祂的恩典中彰显祂自己。我们祷告的目的必须是荣耀上帝，而不是荣耀我们自己。……{OFC136.2}[2]
天父关怀你-第148章
A deep sense of our need and a great desire for the things for which we ask must characterize our prayers, else they will not be heard. But we are not to become weary and cease our petitions because the answer is not immediately received. “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). The violence here meant is a holy earnestness, such as Jacob manifested. We need not try to work ourselves up into an intense feeling, but calmly, persistently, we are to press our petitions at the throne of grace. Our work is to humble our souls before God, confessing our sins, and in faith drawing nigh unto God.... It is the design of God to reveal Himself in His providence and in His grace. The object of our prayers must be the glory of God, not the glorification of ourselves....{OFC 157.2}[2]

上帝藉着显明祂怎样重看我们而尊荣了我们。我们是用重价——就是上帝儿子的宝血买来的。当祂的产业本着良心顺从主话语的时候，祂的福惠就会临到，回应他们的祈祷。“耶和华说：虽然如此，你们应当禁食、哭泣、悲哀，一心归向我。你们要撕裂心肠，不撕裂衣服，归向耶和华你们的上帝；因为祂有恩典，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，有丰盛的慈爱”（珥2:12,13）。{OFC136.3}[3]
天父关怀你-第148章
God has honored us by showing how greatly He values us. We are bought with a price, even the precious blood of the Son of God. When His heritage shall conscientiously follow the Word of the Lord, His blessing will rest upon them in answer to their prayers. “Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness” (Joel 2:12, 13).{OFC 157.3}[3]

私祷时应将心灵赤露敞开，让上帝的圣目鉴察。……暗中的祈祷多么宝贵——心灵竟与上帝交往！暗中的祷告只有听祷告的上帝听见。没有好奇的耳朵来窃听祈求的内容。心灵当宁静而热切地寻求上帝。从那位在暗中看见、侧耳垂听我们心中祈祷的主那里所发出的感化力，是甘美而持久的。凡凭着单纯的信心与上帝交往的人，就必为自己聚敛神圣的光芒，以加强和支持他与撒但作战。{OFC136.4}[4]
天父关怀你-第148章
In secret prayer the soul should be laid bare to the inspecting eye of God.... How precious is secret prayer—the soul communing with God! Secret prayer is to be heard only by the prayer-hearing God. No curious ear is to receive the burden of petitions. Calmly, yet fervently, the soul is to reach out after God; and sweet and abiding will be the influence emanating from Him who sees in secret, whose ear is open to the prayer arising from the heart. He who in simple faith holds communion with God will gather to himself divine rays of light to strengthen and sustain him in the conflict with Satan.25{OFC 157.4}[4]
