【摸着神心意的祷告】

主讲：陈惠菁传道

01/08/2024

一、认识神的属性（v1-8）

侧耳：像父亲附身弯下身子来听孩子说话那样。

1.诚实说出心里的感受（v1-4）

大卫的祷告很真实的将自己的处境与心灵里的挣扎和渴望神的拯救一一说明。 求神附身弯下来听他祷告。

我们的祷告不需要很多的花俏，也不需要很属灵的词汇。神在乎的是我们将心里的感受诚实讲给祂听。

2.灵魂交在信实神手里（v5-8）

大卫毫无保留的将自己的。因为他信任神。他知道信实的神必救赎他。今天，我们若肯将自己的灵魂交在神的手里，神必会保护我们到底。

明白神的属性，是祷告蒙垂听的重要秘诀。明白神的属性不但加添我们对神的信心和敬畏，了解神的属性使我们能更深入地认识祂。更明白神的计划，按神心意的祷告更能摸着神的心。

二、更深的呼求神（v9-18）

1.心灵的呼求（9-13）

大卫因患病而体力衰弱，精神日益不振。再加上敌人的凌辱，亲朋的避开，敌人好像占尽了上风的情况下，他的眼目开始转而倾述自己的痛苦。v12 破碎的器皿代表是废物。大卫觉得自己就像废物一样，毫无用处，为人抛弃。

当我们不经意的掉入专注在困难上时在这样的情况里，求神让我们能快快转向祂。像大卫那样的来到神的面前来吐苦水。神乐意我们借着倾述来亲近仰望祂，也借着倾述来省察自己的内心、彻底认识自己的软弱，并宣告“你是我的神！

2.你是我的神！（14-18）

当大卫再次把焦点转向神、看到祢是我的神时，他就再次大有信心，并宣告他所有的时间都在神的手中。

虽然我们可以自己设想、计划、图谋、努力，但却无法事先料到，会有什么遭遇、祸福。所以，感恩的是，不管我们喜欢或不喜欢，我们的时间都在神手中。不在魔鬼或任何人的手中，也不是在捉摸不定的命运之中。

三、呼吁都来爱神（v19-24）

1.赞美神的保护与恩典（v19-22）

大卫赞美神为那些敬畏、信靠祂的人所储备的丰厚恩典和保护。即使在最困难的时刻，神也不会弃绝信靠祂的人。

2.呼吁圣民都要来爱神（v23-24）

不爱神的人，是因为还没有在经历中真正体会到神的爱，所以还不够认识祂。尝过神恩典滋味的我们，要为那些还没有经历过神的爱的人来代祷代求，并邀请他们都来爱神。

总结：

•祷告要摸着神的心，我们需要真实地认识神，认识祂的属性。
•从心灵诚实来与神交通。祷告要摸到神的心，更要对自己的灵魂有更深的觉醒
•邀请所有人都来爱神。

Psalm 31 Prayer that touches the heart of God
GK611 Morning Devotion
01/08/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah Tan

1. Knowing God’s Attributes (v1-8)

Ear: like a father who bends down to listen to his child.

(1) Honestly speaking what is in your heart (v1-4)

David’s prayer was very real in stating his situation with the struggles in his heart and his longing for God’s deliverance. He asked God to bend down and listen to his prayer.

Our prayers don’t need a lot of fancy and spiritual words. What God cares about is that we speak honestly to Him about the feelings in our hearts.

(2) Souls are surrendered into the hands of a faithful God (v5-8)

David gave himself without reservation. Because he trusted God. He knew that the faithful God would redeem him. Today, if we are willing to surrender our souls into God’s hands, He will protect us to the end.

Understanding the attributes of God is an important secret to having your prayers heard. Understanding God’s attributes not only increases our faith and fear of God, but also enables us to know Him more deeply. Understanding God’s plan better enables us to pray according to God’s heart.

2. A Deeper Call to God (v9-18)

(2) The cry of the heart (9-13)

David was weakened by his illness and his spirit was growing weak. Coupled with the abuse of his enemies, the shunning of his family and friends, and with the enemy seemingly gaining the upper hand, his eyes began to turn to pouring out his pain. V12 Broken vessels represent trash. David felt like he was a broken vessel, useless and discarded for others.

When we inadvertently fall into ocusing on difficulties in situations like this, pray that God will enable us to turn to Him quickly. Come to God like David did and pour out our grievances. God is pleased to have us come to Him through confession, and through confession to examine our hearts, to realise our weaknesses thoroughly, and to proclaim, ‘You are my God!

(2) You are my God! (14-18)

As David turns his focus back to God and sees that You are my God, he is once again confident and declares that all his time is in God’s hands.

Though we can envision, plan, plot, and work on our own, we cannot predict, in advance, what will befall us, what will happen to us, what will happen to us, either blessings or disaster. So, thankfully, whether we like it or not, our time is in God’s hands. Not in the hands of the devil or anyone else, nor in fate.

3. A Call for all to Love God (v19-24)

(1) Praise God for His protection and grace (v19-22)

David praises God for He prepared abundant grace and protection for those who fear and trust Him. Even in the most difficult times, God does not abandon those who trust in Him.

(2) Calling all the holy people to come to love God (v23-24)

Those who do not love God do not know Him well enough because they have not yet truly experienced His love in their experiences. We who have tasted God’s grace are to pray and intercede for those who have not yet experienced God’s love and invite them all to come and love God.

Conclusion:

– To touch the heart of God in prayer, we need to truly know God and His attributes.

– Come to fellowship with God with spirit and truth. Pray to touch the heart of God, and moreover, to have a deeper awakening of our own souls.
– To invite all to love God.
