第九天 培養對神的渴慕

第九天 培養對神的渴慕

為兒子禱告

主啊，我為________(孩子的名字)禱告，使他不斷地渴望更多認識你。願他渴慕你的同在，渴慕花時間向你禱告、讚美、敬拜。賜他一顆渴望你話語的真理、及愛慕你律例與法則的心。教導他靠信心而活，被聖靈引導，隨時能行出你要他去行的事。願他能清楚察覺聖靈在他內心的豐滿，好使他一感空虛時便能立刻來到你麵前被更新、複原。

我禱告使他的心在你以外沒有任何變節效忠的對象，使他能拒絕一切邪惡與違抗你的事物。願他所做的每件事情、每個抉擇，都表現出他對你及你道路所有最深的尊敬和愛意。幫助他了解行為所導致的後果，明白情欲的下場就是生命死亡。願他不要自以為有智慧，而要"敬畏耶和華，遠離惡事"(箴 3:7)。

我禱告使他成為值得信賴、可靠、有責任感、心懷慈悲、靈敏度高、有愛心、願意付出的人。拯救他脫離一切的驕傲、閑懶、怠惰、自私、肉體的情欲。我禱告使他能有受教和降服的靈，願意對神的事物說"是"、對情欲的事物說"不"。堅固他，使他能有堅定的信念。

我禱告使他永遠願意在教會中，就是在注重你話語的真理，有聖靈帶領，並在崇拜、禱告、教導方麵充滿能力的教會中成為積極勤奮的一員。當他學習研讀你的話語時，把你的律例寫在他的意念與心靈中，好使他永遠相信、並有把握行在你公義的誡命中。當他在學習禱告時，願他也學會傾聽你的聲音。我禱告他與你之間的關係永遠不會不冷不熱、漠然無趣、或膚淺薄弱。願他心中永遠都有一團聖靈的烈火，永遠渴慕著神的事物。

 

Lord, I pray for ××× to have an ever-increasing hunger for more of You. May he long for Your presence-long to spend time with You in prayer, praise, and worship. Give him a desire for the truth of Your Word and a love for Your laws and Your ways. Teach him to live by faith. May he be so aware of the fullness of Your Holy Spirit that he will immediately run to You to be renewed and refreshed.

I pray that his heart will not have any allegiances or diversions away from You, but rather that he would be repulsed by ungodliness and all that is in opposition to You. May a deep reverence and love for You and Your ways color everything he does and every choice he makes. Help him to understand the consequences of his actions and know that a life controlled by the flesh will only reap death. May he not be wise in his own eyes, but rather "fear the Lord and depart from evil" (Proverbs 3:7)

I pray that he will be reliable, dependable, responsible, compassionate, sensitive, loving and giving to others. Deliver him from any pride, laziness, slothfulness, selfishness, or lust of the flesh. I pray that he will have a teachable and submissive spirit that says "Yes" to the things of God and "No" to the things of the flesh. Strengthen him to stand strong in his convictions.

I pray that he will always desire to be an active member of a Christian church that is alive to the truth of Your Word and the power of the Holy Spirit led worship, prayer, and teaching. As he learns to read Your Word, write Your law in his mind and on his heart so that he always walks with a confident assurance of the righteousness of Your commands. As he learns to pray, may he also learn to listen for Your voice. I pray that his relationship with You will never become lukewarm, indifferent, or shallow. May there always be a Holy Spirit fire in his heart and an unwavering desire for the things of God.
