Prayer for the saints’ prayer life to have a solid base
祷告圣徒的祷告有一个稳固的根基,就是认识凭我们自己不能维持祷告的生活,我们需要基督作我们的扶持,才能维持我们的祷告(出十七11-12;太二六41;参太七24-25)。
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.
