Chapter 79—Our Attitude in Prayer
告青年书-第88章
无论是公众还是个人的崇拜?祷告时双膝跪在上帝面前,乃是我们的特权。我们的榜样耶稣曾“跪下祷告”(路22:41)。圣经记载祂的门徒也是“跪下祷告”(徒9:40)。保罗说:“我在父面前屈膝”(弗3:14)。以斯拉双膝跪下“在上帝面前承认以色列的罪”。但以理一日三次双膝跪在上帝面前,祷告感谢(但6:10)。{MYP 251.1}[1]

Both in public and in private worship, it is our privilege to bow on our knees before the Lord when we offer our petitions to Him. Jesus, our example, “kneeled down, and prayed.” Of His disciples it is recorded that they, too, “kneeled down, and prayed.” Paul declared, “I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” In confessing before God the sins of Israel, Ezra knelt. Daniel “kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God.”{MYP 251.1}[1]

一个人之所以能对上帝表示真实的崇敬,乃是因为他感觉到上帝的无限伟大,并体会到祂与我们同在。每一个人的心都当因那看不见之主的临格而深受感触。祈祷的时辰和地点都是神圣的,因为有上帝同在。而且当我们在举止和态度上表示尊敬时,这种感觉就必加深。诗人说“祂的名圣而可畏”(诗111:9)。当天使称呼上帝的圣名时,他们都要遮盖自己的脸。如此看来,我们这些堕落有罪的人在提说祂的圣名时,岂不更应肃敬么?{MYP 251.2}[2]

True reverence for God is inspired by a sense of His infinite greatness and a realization of His presence. With this sense of the Unseen, every heart should be deeply impressed. The hour and place of prayer are sacred, because God is there; and as reverence is manifested in attitude and demeanor, the feeling that inspires it will be deepened. “Holy and reverend is His name,” the psalmist declares. Angels, when they speak that name, veil their faces. With what reverence, then, should we, who are fallen and sinful, take it upon our lips!{MYP 251.2}[2]

不论老少,人人都该思考这些说明世人应当如何尊重上帝特别临格之处的经文。祂曾在焚烧着的荆棘中吩咐摩西说:“当把你脚上的鞋脱下来,因为你所站的地是圣地”(出3:5)。雅各在他看见天使的异像之后,感叹说:“耶和华真在这里,我竟不知道……这不是别的,乃是上帝的殿,是天的门”(创28:16,17)。——《传道良助》178,179页{MYP 251.3}[3]

Well would it be for old and young to ponder those words of Scripture that show how the place marked by God’s special presence should be regarded. “Put off thy shoes from off thy feet,” He commanded Moses at the burning bush,” for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Jacob, after beholding the vision of the angels, exclaimed, “The Lord is in this place; and I knew it not....”—Gospel Workers, 178, 179.{MYP 251.3}[3]
