Stormie Omartian生於1924年,做過歌手,演員,後來成為基督教作家,她寫的祈禱係列書非常受歡迎(從妻子/丈夫/孩子/媽媽等的角度祈禱),全世界售出約2千8百萬本,看了下本市圖書館就有她的7本書。這本為媽媽自己和孩子禱告的書小巧實用,共有74個為不同事項的禱文,左邊頁為媽媽,右邊頁為孩子,每份禱詞列出神對此所求已經應許的話,接下來的禱文也完全的立於這個應許。她和丈夫早年帶過專為孩子們禱告的團契,非常有果效,禱告詞就從那時發展而來。恰逢母親節,媽媽們可以用下麵這份禱詞為孩子們的美好未來獻上禱告:
I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, throughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
耶和華說 :我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念 ,不是降災禍的意念 ,要賜給你們美好的前程與盼望。 耶利米書 29:11
Lord, I thank You that Your thoughts toward my child are to give her(him) peace, hope, and a good future. Help her(him) to live in a way that is always deserving of that promise for her(his) life. I pray(name of child) will live a fruitful life, ever increasing in the knowledge of You. May she(he) always know Your will, have spiritual understanding, and walk in a manner that is pleasing in Your sight. Thank You that You care about her(his) future even more than I do and that it is secure in You. Give her(him) a future that is bright, long, prosperous, and secure. Guide her(him) step-by-step so that she(he) never gets off the path You have for her(him). In Jusus' name I pray. Amen!
主啊,感謝你對我孩子的意念是賜給她/他平安,盼望和美好的未來。請幫她/他活出你給他/她的這個應許。我禱告這孩子的人生豐富,不斷增長對你的認識。願他/她總知道你的意願,有靈裏的認識,走在使你悅目的路上。感謝你關心她/他的未來多過我,在你裏麵他/她的未來是安穩的,請賜給她/他這個光明,長壽,富足,安全的未來。一步步指導他/她,這樣她/他永不會在你為他/她預備的的路上走偏。奉耶穌的名求,阿門!
