就算感到難受也要禱告
在我住的那座城市裡有一個十九歲的小女孩。她是一名優秀的運動員，也是一名優秀的在校大學生。她受人喜愛，有着光明的前程。這個女孩有着溫馨的家，還有很多的朋友。可是，她得了一種病，差點要了她的命。隨着病情不斷地惡化，她已經失去了雙腳，就連一雙手也很可能會失去。若是我有何抱怨，神啊，求您饒恕我。我知道我們需要做的是感恩。當別人對你說“謝謝”時，你感覺棒極了，不是嗎？當別人感謝你時，你會感覺到你為他們做的事是值得的。神甚至還告訴我們要“凡事謝恩”(帖撒羅尼迦前書5:18)。事實上，舊約《詩篇》中曾說到“稱謝耶和華!”是件美好的事（詩篇92:1)。當你禱告時，請客花上一些時間來感謝神。感恩的人總是更為幸福的，他們內心也會有更大的平安。

30 PRAY EVEN WHEN IT HURTS
There is a 19 year old girl who lives in the city where I live who is a good athlete and a good student in college. She is well liked and had a great future ahead of herself. A great family. Many friends. She got sick with an illness that almost killed her and as it worked on her body, she lost both legs and might still lose one hand. Forgive me God when I complain. We need to be thankful. Isn’t it just great when someone says “thank you” to you. It gives meaning to the work that we do for others when they say thank you. God has even told us, “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). In fact, it was said in the book of Psalms in the Old Testament part of the Bible that “It is good thing to give thanks to the Lord” (Psalms 92:1) When you pray, spend some time thanking God. Thankful people are happier and have greater peace in their hearts.
