不知道該如何禱告？多練練吧！
你認為神在哪裡？你認為神會熟知我們每一個人嗎？你認為神在我們的生活中做工嗎？我們的生活一定有某種意義，一定存在着某種事物可以幫我們找到我們生命的真正意義，不是嗎？讓我來告訴你，我對於上帝的認識。你我不必去到一座殿里，或是會堂，或者教堂，甚至不必非要去到某個城市或國家，我們就可以來到神的面前。如果我告訴你神的居所並不是在某間屋子裡或任何東西的裡面，你會感到吃驚嗎？無論你現在在哪裡，正在做什麼，神就在你身邊。你知道這意味着什麼嗎？這意味着你我現在，或是任何時候，在任何地點都可以向神禱告。但也許你會說，“我不知道該怎麼禱告。” 練習啊。首先從那些影響你生活的事說起，向神傾訴。你要想做得好就必須多練習。練習禱告。當你吃東西時，向神獻上感恩的禱告。在你早上起床後或晚上睡覺前花上幾分鐘時間禱告。在全天的時間裡，心裡默默地為任何看到或聽到的事，為那些需要神幫助的事而禱告。聖經告訴我們，我們可以放膽去為我們所生活的這世界禱告，為我們的生活禱告。

Sweet Hour of Prayer / 17
DON’T KNOW HOW TO PRAY? PRACTICE!
Where do you think God is? Do you think He knows you and me personally? Do you think God works in our lives? Hasn’t there got to be a purpose for our lives and something that can help us find out the real meaning of our lives? Let me tell you what I have realized about God. You and I do not have to go to a temple or a synagogue or a church building or even be in a certain city or country to be in the presence of God. Would you be shocked to know that God doesn’t live inside anything or inside anywhere? You are near God right now, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. You know what that means? It means that you and I can pray to God right now, anytime and anywhere. But you might say, “I do not know how to pray.” Practice. Start talking with God about the things going on that is affecting your life. You only get good at things when you practice. Practice praying. Pray a prayer of thanks when you eat food. Pray for a few minutes when you get up in the morning and before you go to sleep at night. Pray silently all day about things that you see and hear about that need God’s help. The Bible says we can pray with boldness and courage about the world in which we live and about our lives.
