Pray for the nation

为国家祷告

Deuteronomy 4:7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him?

申命记4:7 哪一大国的人有神与他们相近，像耶和华我们的　神、在我们求告他的时候与我们相近呢？

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone–for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

 提摩太前书2:1-2 我劝你第一要为万人恳求、祷告、代求、祝谢，为君王和一切在位的，也该如此，使我们可以敬虔、端正、平安无事地度日。

1. God is near us whenever we pray to him.

     我们祷告的时候，上帝便与我们亲近。

2. We need to pray for all those in authority.

     我们当为位居高位的人祷告。

Prayer: God Almighty, we confess that we are living in a blessed country and we thank you for opening the way to peace for us. Guide us to pray for our nation and those in authority that you may stay near us and continually bless the country. We also want to pray for the countries that do not know you, that you will guide them to know you that they may be able to worship you freely.

 祷告:阿爸天父，我们宣告我们是在蒙福的国家生活，感谢您为我们打开和平之门。我们愿意为国家领导人祷告，恳求您亲近我们，继续祝福我们的国家。您也了解不认识您的国家，求您的恩典降临在那里，使他们能自由的敬拜您。
