第二十六天 不再抱怨

為兒子禱告

主啊，我禱告求你使我的兒子×××能活在持續的寬恕中，將你那寬厚的寬恕指教他，好讓他能自由地寬恕他人。幫助他在決定原諒別人的時候是依據你對我們的要求，而不是憑著當時還不錯的心情。願他明了：原諒別人並不是認可別人的行為是對的，相反的，這是在釋放自己。幫助他了解，惟有你才知道我們每個人真正的原委，這也正是他為什麽沒有權利去審判別人的原因。

主啊，你的話語說："愛弟兄的，就是住在光明中，在他並沒有絆跌的緣由。惟獨恨弟兄的，是在黑暗裏，且在黑暗裏行，也不知道往哪裏去，因為黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。"(約壹2：10～11)指出我生命中仍有懷怨的黑暗處，我不願生命中有那種黑暗，我要看清並明白所去的方向。我禱告我的孩子也能如此，願他永遠行在愛與寬恕的光明中，使他能夠原諒家人、朋友，也原諒其他所有人。教導他放手把過去交給你，使他能繼續向前享受你為他所預備的一切。不要讓他內心懷藏著憎恨、苦毒、憤怒，幫助他在這些感覺一產生之時就立刻交托給你。

我禱告他能原諒自己多次的失敗，願他不因為這個世界及生活中的遭遇而責怪你，主。我依據你的話來禱告，求你使他能愛他的仇敵，為咒詛他的人祝福，善待那些恨他的人，並為那些恨他、逼迫他的人禱告，好使他全然享受你所賜的福(參太5：44～45)。我奉耶穌的名祈求你使他能豐豐滿滿活在你的寬恕中，並從寬恕中得到全然的釋放。

Lord, I pray that You would enable my son **** to live in ongoing forgiveness.  Teach him the depth of Your forgiveness toward him so that he can be freely forgiving toward others. Help him to make the decision to forgive based on what You've asked us to do and not on what feels good at the moment.  May he understand that forgiveness doesn't justify the other person's actions; instead, it makes him free. Help him to understand  that only You know the whole story about any of us, and that's why he doesn't have the right to judge.

Lord, Your Word says, "He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes" (1 John 2:10-11). Show me places where I walk in the darkness of forgiveness.  I don't want that in my life. I want to see clearly and know where I'm going. And I pray that for my child as well. May he always walk in the light of love and forgiveness. Enable him to forgive family members, friends, and all others as well. Teach him to release the past to You so that he can move into all that You have for him. Don't allow him to harbor resentment, bitterness, and anger, but rather help him to turn these feelings over to you immediately whenever they creep in.

I pray that he will forgive himself for times of failure, and may he never blame You, Lord, for things that happen on this earth and in his life. According to Your Word I pray that he will love his enemies, bless those who curse him, do good to those who hate him, and pray for those who spitefully use and persecute him, so that he may enjoy all Your blessings (Matthew 5:44-45). In Jesus' name, I pray that he will live in the fullness of Your forgiveness for him and walk in the freedom of forgiveness in his own heart.

為女兒禱告

主啊，我禱告求你使我的女兒×××能活在持續的寬恕中，將你那寬厚的寬恕指教她，好讓她能自由地寬恕她人。幫助她在決定原諒別人的時候是依據你對我們的要求，而不是憑著當時還不錯的心情。願她明了：原諒別人並不是認可別人的行為是對的，相反的，這是在釋放自己。幫助她了解，惟有你才知道我們每個人真正的原委，這也正是她為什麽沒有權利去審判別人的原因。
