God always deserves our commitment and praise.

上帝配得我们全然的摆上和赞美。

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.Proverbs 3:5

你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明。-箴言3章5节

Kamil and Joelle were devastated when their eight-year-old daughter Rima was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. The disease led to meningitis and a stroke, and Rima lapsed into a coma. The hospital medical team counseled her parents to make arrangements for Rima’s funeral, giving her less than a one percent chance of survival.

卡米及茱莉八岁的女儿荔玛确诊罹患罕见的白血病，令他们陷入绝望。白血病甚至引发脑膜炎及中风，使荔玛陷入昏迷。医疗团队告诉卡米及茱莉，可以开始准备荔玛的丧礼，因为荔玛的存活率还不到百分之一。

Kamil and Joelle fasted and prayed for a miracle. “As we pray,” Kamil said, “we need to trust God no matter what. And pray like Jesus—not my way, Father, but Yours.” “But I want so much for God to heal her!” Joelle answered honestly. “Yes! And we should ask!” Kamil responded. “But it honors God when we give ourselves to Him even when it’s hard, because that’s what Jesus did.”

卡米及茱莉禁食祷告，祈求奇迹出现。卡米说：“我们祷告时，要信靠上帝，无论结果如何。就像耶稣祷告说，父啊！不要成就我的意思，只要成就祢的意思。”但茱莉也坦言：“但我很希望上帝会医治她！”而卡米的回应是：“是的，我们可以祈求。但若上帝没应允，我们也愿顺服，那就能尊荣上帝的名，因这也是耶稣所做的。

Before Jesus went to the cross, He prayed: “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42). By praying “take this cup,” Jesus asked not to go to the cross; but He submitted to the Father out of love.

耶稣在被钉十字架之前，祂祷告说：“父啊！祢若愿意，就把这杯撤去；然而，不要成就我的意思，只要成就祢的意思”（路加福音22章42节）。耶稣祈求“把这杯撤去”，其实是求天父不要让祂钉十字架，但祂因爱天父而愿意顺服。

Surrendering our desires to God isn’t easy, and His wisdom can be difficult to understand in challenging moments. Kamil and Joelle’s prayers were answered in a remarkable way—Rima is a healthy fifteen year old today.  

要顺服上帝，凭祂的意思而行，其实并不容易，因为在急难的时刻，我们有时很难明了祂的智慧。但上帝以奇妙的方式回应卡米及茱莉的祷告，荔玛如今已经是15岁的健康少女。

Jesus understands every struggle. Even when, for our sake, His request was not answered, He showed us how to trust our God in every need.

耶稣了解所有的苦楚。虽然祂为了我们而祷告未蒙应允，但祂让我们看到如何在每个困境中信靠上帝。

I want to be “all in” for You, Father. I trust in Your unfailing love and give myself to You as Your servant today.

天父啊，我盼望将自己全然献给祢。我信靠祢那永不止息的爱，今日我愿献上自己成为祢的仆人。

Luke 22:39-46    NIV

22 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”

路加福音 22:39-46

22 耶稣出来，照常往橄榄山去，门徒也跟随他。 40 到了那地方，就对他们说：“你们要祷告，免得入了迷惑。” 41 于是离开他们约有扔一块石头那么远，跪下祷告，42 说：“父啊！你若愿意，就把这杯撤去！然而，不要成就我的意思，只要成就你的意思。” 43 有一位天使从天上显现，加添他的力量。 44 耶稣极其伤痛，祷告更加恳切，汗珠如大血点滴在地上。45 祷告完了，就起来，到门徒那里，见他们因为忧愁都睡着了， 46 就对他们说：“你们为什么睡觉呢？起来祷告，免得入了迷惑。”

Today’s reading shows us the dramatic scene of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, facing the horrors of the cross. Not only was it one of the most painful and excruciating means of execution invented by the Romans, but for our Lord it would mean taking the sins of the world upon Himself. Just prior to His crucifixion, we witness the Son’s mysterious request of His Father. Christ asked if the cup of crucifixion could be taken from Him. Yet our Lord yielded His will to the Father knowing that it was His mission on Earth to redeem all who would believe in His sacrificial death. The lesson for us is significant. Even when we face terrible suffering, we know God can deliver us; however, we must also trust Him if He chooses not to. Only by holding our Father’s hand in the valley can we endure to see the light of the mountaintop ahead.

今天阅读的经文，向我们展示上帝的儿子耶稣基督，祂在面对可怕十字架时的心里挣扎。钉十字架是罗马人发明的，是最令人痛苦、难熬的一种处决方式。对于我们的主来说，这还意味着，祂要将世人的罪孽背负在自己身上。我们看到，上帝的儿子在被钉十字架之前，在祷告中向父上帝悄悄提出要求，求天父将这杯撒去，使祂能免受被钉十字架的苦难。但最终，我们的救主愿意完全顺服天父，因祂知道自己在这世上的使命就是要流血舍命，救赎所有相信祂的人。从基督的顺服，我们能学习到一个重要的功课。那就是不管我们遭受多可怕的痛苦，上帝都能够拯救我们，但即使上帝选择不施拯救，我们仍必须信靠祂。在死荫幽谷中，只有紧握着天父的手，我们才能恒久忍耐，直到看见前方山顶上的亮光。

What troubling circumstance are you facing today, and how can you depend on God no matter what His will brings?

今天你正面对什么令你焦虑不安的境况呢？不管上帝的旨意会带来什么结果，你要如何完全倚靠祂呢？
