7-12

Whenever you feel distant from me, whisper my name in loving trust. This simple prayer can restore your awareness of my presence.

My name is constantly abused in the world, where people use it as a curse word. This verbal assault reaches all the way to heaven; every word is heard and recorded. When you trustingly whisper my name, my aching ears are soothed. The grating rancor of the world’s blasphemies cannot compete with a trusting child’s utterance: “Jesus.” The power of my name to bless both you and me is beyond your understanding.

每當你感到與我疏遠時，以愛的信任低語我的名字。這簡單的祈禱能夠恢複你對我同在的意識。

我的名字在世界上經常被濫用，人們將它當作咒罵之詞。這種語言攻擊傳達到了天堂，每一個字詞都被聽到和記錄下來。當你信任地低聲呼喚我的名字時，我痛苦的耳朵得到安慰。世界褻瀆的刺耳咒罵無法與一個充滿信任的孩子呼喊“耶穌”相媲美。我的名字具有祝福你和頌讚我的能力，超出了你的理解。
