彼此代祷

“靠着圣灵，随时......祷告祈求，并要在此警醒不倦，为众圣徒祈求。” - 弗 6:18

? 灵修

基督徒群体中的一个长处，就是在基督里的信徒们会彼此代祷。今天的经文敦促我们，要常常 “随时” 和 “为众圣徒” 祷告祈求。这是很重要的，因为在我们每天面对的各种活动和忙碌当中，我们都是在跟邪恶争战，而邪恶的势力不喜欢看到我们彼此相爱。

为别人祷告的模式，在整本圣经中都可以见到——从摩西求神向祂的子民施怜悯（申命记 9:26），到大卫所写的多篇诗篇，到但以理祈求神的子民从被掳得释放（但以理书 9），到耶稣在祂传道事工中的祷告，以及祂的使徒们为世界各地信徒的祷告。比如，使徒保罗在写给腓立比信徒的书信当中，一开始便告诉他们，他正在为他们祷告（腓立比书 1:3-6）。

我们可以为很多人和很多事情祷告。你若想起某一个人，或许这是圣灵在提点你为这人祷告；祷告对某些人可能比较自然，然而我们每一个人都可以为别人祷告，我们只需要让神的灵带领我们就成了。

你有没有为别人祷告呢？在天天服从基督彼此相爱的命令中，代祷是重要的一环。

? 祷告

主耶稣，祢树立榜样来教导我们为别人祷告，求祢帮助我们，在繁忙复杂的生活中拨出时间彼此代祷，又求祢的灵加添我们的能力。奉祢的名祷告，阿们。

普世佳音每日箴言

? Praying For One Another

"Pray in the Spirit on all occasions... With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." — Ephesians 6:18

? Devotion

A great benefit of the Christian community is that believers in Christ pray for one another. Our reading today urges us to pray "on all occasions" and "for all the Lord's people" always. This is important because amid all the activities and busyness we may face each day, we're in a struggle against evil. The forces of evil do not want us to love one another.

Praying for others is a pattern seen throughout Scripture— from Moses' praying that God would be merciful to his people (Deuteronomy 9:26), to various psalms of David, to Daniel's prayer that God's people be freed from exile (Daniel 9), to the prayers of Jesus throughout his ministry, and to the prayers of his apostles for believers everywhere. The apostle Paul, for example, begins his letter to the Philippian Christians by assuring them that he is praying for them (Philippians 1:3-6).

There are so many people and situations we can pray for. When someone comes to mind, it may be that the Spirit is nudging you to pray. Praying may come more naturally to some than to others. But all of us can pray for others. All we need is to be open to the leading of God's Spirit.

Do you pray for others? It's an important part of fulfilling Christ's command to love one another each day.

? Prayer

Lord Jesus, you taught us by example to pray for others. Help us to take time throughout our busy, complex days to pray for one another. Empower us with your Spirit. Amen.
