Prayer for the saints’ prayer life to have a solid base

禱告聖徒的禱告有一個穩固的根基,就是認識憑我們自己不能維持禱告的生活,我們需要基督作我們的扶持,才能維持我們的禱告(出十七11-12;太二六41;參太七24-25)。

Exo. 17:11-12—And when Moses lifted his hand up, Israel prevailed; and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

Matt. 26:41—Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matt. 7:24-25—Everyone therefore who hears these words of Mine and does them shall be likened to a prudent man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
