Life-Changing Prayer 改变生命的祷告 As you bring your requests to God, don’t just seek a change in circumstances; ask Him to transform your heart. 当你将自己的祈求带到上帝面前时,不要只寻求环境的改变,更要求祂更新和改变你的内心。 Colossians 1:9–10 | 歌罗西书 1:9–10 Related Scripture | 相关经文: Philippians 4:6(腓立比书 4:6) Philippians 4:6 says that it’s good to bring requests to God, and we often ask Him for certain blessings or outcomes. But there are times when, in God’s omniscience, He determines that a “no” would result in greater good. So what can we pray, knowing that it aligns with His will? In today’s passage, Paul recorded specific petitions he made on behalf of the Colossians: Request to “be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Col. 1:9). This is a prayer for direction and the ability to see life from God’s viewpoint. Ask to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord” (v. 10). The only way to grow in this is through the Spirit’s work. He fills our heart with a deep longing for God and the desire to please Him. Pray that our life will be pleasing to Him (v. 10). It’s easy to assume that making an impact for God requires something dramatic, but effectiveness in His work depends on faithfully following whatever He calls each of us to do. Paul continually lifted up the believers in Colossae to the Father (v. 9). As we mention others by name to the Lord, we can follow the apostle’s example—praying not just for circumstances to change, but for hearts to grow. 腓立比书4章6节教导我们,应当将自己的所求所想带到上帝面前。我们常常向祂祈求某些祝福,或盼望事情能够按照我们的心愿成就。然而,有些时候,全知的上帝知道,祂对我们祷告的回答若是“不”,反而会带来更大的益处。 那么,我们应当如何祷告,才能确信自己的祈求合乎上帝的旨意呢? 在今天的经文中,使徒保罗记载了他为歌罗西教会信徒所献上的几个具体祈求: 一、祈求“在一切属灵的智慧悟性上,满心知道神的旨意”(歌罗西书1:9)。 这是一个寻求上帝引导的祷告。我们不仅需要知道前面的道路该如何行,更需要属灵的智慧和悟性,使我们能够从上帝的眼光来看待人生、环境与挑战,明白祂在我们生命中的旨意。 二、祈求能够“行事为人对得起主”(第10节)。 我们若要在这方面不断成长,唯有依靠圣灵在我们生命中的工作。圣灵使我们的心更加渴慕上帝,并赐给我们愿意讨祂喜悦的心志,使我们的言语、行为和生活方式越来越符合祂的心意。 三、祈求我们的生命能够“凡事蒙祂喜悦”(第10节)。 我们很容易以为,要为上帝带来重大影响,就必须完成某些轰轰烈烈的大事。然而,真正能够在神的事工中结出果效,并不取决于我们所做之事是否惊天动地,而在于我们是否忠心顺服祂对每个人独特的呼召。 无论上帝托付我们的使命看起来多么平凡,只要我们忠心遵行祂的旨意,我们的生命就能够荣耀祂、蒙祂喜悦。 保罗不断地将歌罗西教会的信徒带到天父面前,为他们恒切代求(第9节)。 当我们在祷告中一一提名记念家人、朋友、弟兄姐妹以及其他需要帮助的人时,也可以效法使徒保罗的榜样:不仅祈求上帝改变他们所处的环境,更祈求上帝更新他们的内心,使他们在属灵生命中不断成长。 真正改变生命的祷告,不只是求上帝改变我们周围的世界,更是求祂先改变我们自己。 Prayer | 今日祷告 Heavenly Father, thank You for hearing our prayers and knowing what is best for us. Teach us to seek not only changes in our circumstances but also the transformation of our hearts. Fill us with spiritual wisdom and understanding so that we may know Your will, walk worthy of You, and bear fruit in every good work. Help us faithfully pray for others, trusting Your perfect wisdom and timing. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 亲爱的天父,感谢祢垂听我们的祷告,也感谢祢比我们自己更知道什么对我们最有益处。求祢教导我们,不仅为环境的改变祈求,更渴望自己的生命被祢更新和塑造。 求祢赐给我们属灵的智慧和悟性,使我们明白祢的旨意,行事为人对得起主,在一切善事上多结果子。也求祢帮助我们忠心为他人代求,相信祢完全的智慧、慈爱与时间。 奉主耶稣基督的圣名祷告,阿们。 Today’s Reflection | 今日默想 Am I asking God merely to change my circumstances, or am I allowing Him to change my heart? 我是在祈求上帝改变我的环境,还是愿意让祂先改变我的内心? https://www.intouch.org/read/daily-devotions
