发帖数: 6300 | 1 Why Doesn’t God Answer All My Prayers?
You don’t have to be a Christian long to recognize you don’t always get
what you pray for. Why doesn’t God seem to answer all our prayers? Is it
because we aren’t praying properly, or have we simply failed to recognize
God’s answer? Our ideas about prayer and God’s ideas about prayer are
sometimes very different. Look at Jesus’ model supplication in the Gospel
of Luke:
Luke 11:2-4
And He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name.

We know that many ancient nations had 'wisdom writings'. Job, Eccesiastes and
Proverbs are the main biblical Wisdom books, but many of the Psalms belong to
this type of writing (for example, 1, 34, 37, 73 etc). Wisdom writing was
interested in the problems of existence: why are we here? why are things the
way they are? why do people suffer? In its simplest and earliest form wisdom
was communicated in riddles(Judges 14:14; 1 Samuel 24:13 for example) and the

今天的经文，最喜欢这句：但寻求耶和华的，什么好处都不缺
【今日默想禱讀經文】詩 34:9-14
耶和華的聖民哪！你們要敬畏他，因為敬畏他的一無所缺。少壯獅子有時還缺
食挨餓，但尋求耶和華的，甚麼好處都不缺。
孩子們！你們要來聽我；我要教導你們敬畏耶和華。
誰喜愛生命，愛慕長壽，享受美福， 就要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐
的話；也要離惡行善，尋找並追求和睦。
【今日信息】 敬畏神的好處 By Rev. Andrew Tsai
柏倫納德 （David Brainerd, 1718-1747） 是美國早期向印地安人傳敎的宣教士
。這位青年的宣教士，雖然患肺癆，卻深愛那些不認識神的土人，勤奮向他們傳福音，
他尤其注重禱告。
有一天深夜，一群印地安人，手持戰斧，潛近柏倫納德的帳篷，悄悄從帳篷的縫
中張望。他們看見那宣教士，跪在帳篷內禱告。一條極毒的響尾蛇，爬到他的兩腳中間
，昂首作勢要咬下去；他們預期那白人就要倒地死亡。但想不到，那蛇注視了很久，忽
