| PRAYER - and the Will of God | 禱告 - 上帝的旨意 |
| Nothing lies outside the reach of prayer except that
which lies outside the will of God. 沒有一件事情在禱告能達到的範圍之外，除非那是在上帝旨意之外的。 |
| God shapes the world by
prayer. E. M. Bounds 上帝藉著禱告塑造世界。 |
| We are not at liberty in calling upon God to follow
the suggestions of our own mind and will, but must seek God only in so far as he has
invited us to approach him. John Calvin 我們可不是隨時呼喚上帝跟隨我們心智及志願的計畫，而是在上帝邀請我們就近祂時才能尋求祂。 |
| God answers only the
requests which he inspires. Ralph A. Herring 上帝只應允祂所激發出來的祈求。 |
| Prayer is a mighty instrument, not for getting man's
will done in heaven, but for getting God's will done in earth. Robert Law 禱告是大有能力的工具，不是為了讓人的旨意行在天上，而是要讓上帝的旨意行在地上。 |
| Did not God sometimes
withhold in mercy what we ask, we should be ruined at our own request. Hannah More 如果不是上帝憐憫，不應允我們所祈求的，我們就會在所祈求的事上滅亡了。 |
| Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue; God's voice
in response to mine is its most essential part. Listening to God's voice is the
secret of the assurance that he will listen to mine. Andrew Murray 禱告不是獨白而是對話；上帝回應我的話語是禱告中最重要的部分。傾聽上帝的聲音是確信祂會聽我們禱告的秘訣。 |
| In prayer, while we seek in
appearance to bend God's will to ours, we are in reality bringing our will to his. J. M. Neale 在禱告中，看起來好像是要上帝的旨意遷就我們的心意，事實上是讓我們的心意配合上帝的旨意。 |
| To ask in the name of Christ is...to set aside our
own will and bow to the perfect will of God. A. W. Pink 奉基督的名禱告，意味著將我們的心意放在一旁，伏首在上帝完美旨意之前。 |
| To pray effectively we must
want what God wants - that and that only is to pray in the will of God. A. W. Tozer 禱告要能有功效，我們必須要上帝所要的 - 也就是唯獨在上帝的心意中禱告。 |
