第二十七天 過悔改的生活
為兒子禱告
主啊,我禱告求你賜給我的兒子×××一顆對錯誤快快悔悟的心,願他對這些過錯能真正悔改,好使他可以蒙赦免、得潔淨。幫助他明白你的律法是為著他的益處而設立的,你的要求——認錯悔改,必須成為他生活的一種方式。賜他一顆渴慕的心能活在你的真理中,願他能像大衛那樣說:"求你將我的罪孽洗除淨盡,並潔除我的罪!神啊,求你為我造清潔的心,使我裏麵重新有正直的靈。不要丟棄我,使我離開你的麵;不要從我收回你的聖靈。求你使我仍得救恩之樂,賜我樂意的靈扶持我。"(詩51:2,10~12)
主啊,照明一切隱而未現的罪,好使這些罪都被對付並蒙赦免。你的話語說:"得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的,這人是有福的!"(詩 32:1)我禱告求你使我的孩子永遠不壓抑心中的罪,而是有一顆願意翻然悔悟的心,並說:"看在我裏麵有什麽惡行沒有,引導我走永生的道路。"(詩 139:24)願他不活在愧疚與譴責中,而是清清楚楚完全明白他在基督裏所蒙受的寬恕。我禱告使他永遠都能仰望你,並擁有容光煥發的麵容。
Lord, I pray that You would give my son *** a heart that is quick to confess his mistakes. May he be truly repentant of them so that he can be forgiven and cleansed. Help him to understand that Your laws are for his benefit and that the confession and repentance You require must become a way of life. Give him the desire to live in truth before You, and may he say as David did, "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation" (Psalm 51:2,10- 12).
Lord, bring to light any hidden sins so they can be confessed, repented of, and forgiven. Your Word says, "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered" (Psalm 32:1). I pray that my son will never be able to contain sin within him, but rather let there be a longing to confess fully and say, "See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139:24). May he not live in guilt and condemnation, but rather dwell with a clear conscience in the full understanding of his forgiveness in Christ. I pray that he will always look to You and wear a radiant countenance.
