每日箴言
养成祷告的习惯
“你们要恒切祷告,在此警醒感恩。” - 西 4:2
? 灵修
我们多数人都知道祷告是重要的,可是,要让祷告居首位,却往往不容易实行出来。繁忙的工作、科技的吸引以及日常生活对我们的要求,都令我们难以拨出时间来祷告。有什么办法,可以帮助我们更有效地去恒切祷告呢?
有些人发现了,每天在特定的时间祷告会有帮助。我知道有人设定腕表上的闹铃,使它每一天发出几次响声,来提醒她去祷告;实行了一段时间之后,出乎她意料之外,她已经不再需要响声来提醒她了;一件以例行常规开始的事,很快就被培养为一个宝贵的习惯了。
很多人发现,诵念别人写的祷文对他们有帮助。你知道诗篇有时被称为“神的子民的祷告书”吗?对我们很多人来说,诵念诗篇或其他记载在圣经中的祷告,能够使我们的灵修生活更有生气。
此外,与别人一起祷告也有益处。与其他信众聚集一起祷告和交通,是我们彼此建立以及在主里一起成长的途径。
我们每一次尝试实践恒切祷告,神都会悦纳我们的努力的。天地的创造主渴望花时间和我们一起,衪喜欢聆听我们的话,单单是这个原因,就足以感动我们去提高祷告的等级了!
? 祷告
主啊,求你帮助我恒切祷告。又帮助我用各种方法来与你联系,求你使用我去帮助别人,好叫他们也在祷告中成长,奉耶稣的名求,阿们!

? Making Prayer A Habit
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." — Colossians 4:2
? Devotion
Most of us realize that prayer is important, but we often struggle to make it a priority. Busy work schedules, the distractions of technology, and the demands of daily life can make it difficult to set aside time for prayer. How can we be more successful in devoting ourselves to prayer?
Some people find that praying at set times in the day is helpful. I read about someone who set an alarm on her watch several times a day to remind herself to pray. She was surprised to find that after doing this for a while she no longer needed the alarm to remind her. What began as a regimented routine soon became a cherished habit.
Many people find it helpful to read prayers that others have written. Did you know that the book of Psalms is sometimes called "the prayer book of God's people"? For many of us, reading the Psalms or other prayers recorded in the Bible has energized our devotional life.
Then there is the value of praying with others. Gathering with other believers for prayer and fellowship is a great way to build one another up and grow closer together in the Lord.
God is pleased with every effort we make to devote ourselves to prayer. The creator of the universe wants to spend time with us, and he loves to hear from us. That thought alone can inspire us to make prayer a greater priority!
? Prayer
Lord, help me to be devoted to prayer. Help me to connect with you in whatever way I can. Use me to help others grow in prayer as well. In Jesus, Amen.
