有人問我

要如何禱告

一時真不知從何說起

只有把自己每天的禱告與其分享

總覺得信基督的人很會禱告

可以禱告很久

而且通順連貫

我認為禱告.....

可以練習口語表達能力

可以把自己的心情與希望與一個神奇無形的神分享與乞求

可以是一天平安的感謝

可以為親人朋友禱告  讓他知道我的關心

可以是得以溫飽的謝恩

分享一則很好的禱告

General MacArthur's Prayer For His Son

    Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

  Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee-and what to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail.

  Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

    And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take him too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, and the meekness of true strength.

 Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, "I have not lived in vain."

 

麥帥為子祈禱文

    主啊!請陶冶我的兒子,使他成為一個堅強的人,能夠知道自己什麼時候是軟弱的;使他成為一個勇敢的人,能夠在畏懼的時候認清自己,謀求補救。使他在誠實的失敗中,能夠自豪而不屈,在獲得成功之際,能夠謙遜而溫和。

    請陶冶我的兒子,使他不要以願望代替實際作為,使他能夠認識主—並且曉得自知乃是知識的基石。我祈求你,不要引導他走上安逸舒適的道路,而要讓他遭受困難與挑戰的磨練和策勵。讓他藉此學習在風暴之中挺立起來,讓他藉此學習對失敗的人加以同情。

    請陶冶我的兒子,使他的心地純潔,目標高超。在企圖駕馭他人之前,先能駕馭自己。要懂得去笑,並不忘記如何哭泣;對未來善加籌畫,但永遠不忘記過去。

    在他把以上諸點都已做到之後,還請賜給他充分的幽默感,使他可以永遠保持嚴肅的態度,但決不自視非凡,過於拘執。請賜給他謙遜,使他可以永遠記住真實偉大的樸實無華,真實智慧的虛懷若谷,和真實力量的溫和蘊藉。    然後,作為他父親的我,才敢低聲說道:「我已不虛此生!」
