經文:歌羅西書四章
鑰節:「恆切禱告,在此儆醒感恩。」(4:2)
提要

        保羅對禱告有一甚強的看法。他在此所使用的希臘動詞(恆切),也曾被一位歷史學家──波利比亞(Polybius)用在說明固執堅持地抓住某件東西。這個有力量的意像,決非過甚其詞──它與聖經重視禱告的觀點一致:「義人祈禱所發的力量,是大有功效的」(雅5:16)。但本文尚有其他用意。

        祈禱是某些人的溝通方式。這些人是「儆醒」並「感謝」的。它不只是遇到困難時的呼求,也是以高尚的心智來表達警醒的觀察和極大的倚靠。

        儆醒禱告的意思,特別是指我們要與世人有所接觸。禱告不只是「閉上雙眼,接觸我內心的需要」而已。更是以此「關懷世界所發生的事,與我鄰人需要」的一種行動。這並不是說,我們一次又一次的禱告,內容不可包括個人的事。而是說,禱告不能光為了自己。太多時候我們關懷的對象只有一人,就是自己。而且求著求著就變成妄求,以為只要把清單開出來,上帝就必會執行我們的意思。

        這便是感恩在禱告中那麼重要的原因了。感恩是說,你承認上帝的恩惠,願意把自己全倚靠祂,並且認知世上有千百萬人和你一同領受這赦罪之恩。最要緊的,有了感恩之心,我們才會自然的禱告:「不要照我的意思,而要照您的意思」的上下文。

禱告

        主,願我們繼續真誠地禱告,不要專為自己,更要為著別人的需要代求;且願我們在禱告的態度上是一種感恩;因為這一偉大的禱告權利,在基督裡,已歸給我們。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們。

Scriptures:Read Colossians 4
Key Verse:"Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving."(Colossians 4:2)
Overview

        Paul had a very strong view on prayer. The Greek verb he uses here was also used by an historian (Polybius) in describing the stubborn persistence of a siege. This powerful imagery is not an overstatement — it is merely consistent with the high view scripture has of prayer: "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16). But it's to be something else too.

        Prayer is to be the communication of someone who is 'Vigilant" (or, "watchful") and "thankful" (NIV). It's not just to be the crying out of felt needs, but the intelligent expression of alert observation and grateful dependence.

        To be alert in prayer means, among other things, to be in touch with the world. Prayer is not an "eyes-closed-get-in-touch-with-my-inner-needs" kind of exercise. Rather, its a "what's-happening-in-the-world-and-what-are-my-neighbours-needs" kind of exercise. That's not to say we don't include personal concerns in our prayers from time to time. But it is to say that prayer is to be much more than it is for many of us in reality; prayer is so often an exclusive petitioning on behalf of one person: ourself. What's more, that self-absorption is also presumptuous — we presume to give God our agenda, expecting him to perform our will.

        That's why gratitude in prayer is so important. Gratitude says you acknowledge God's grace, accept your dependence upon Him, and recognize you're just one of the millions who have embraced His offer of forgiveness for sin in Christ. Most importantly, gratitude is the context in which we most naturally pray, "Not my will, but Thine be done."

Prayer

        Lord, may we continue earnestly in prayer, not just focussing on ourselves but on the needs of others, and may our attitude in prayer be one of gratitude for this great privilege that is ours in Christ.
