给祷告之人的应许
造物主每天都在参与我们的生活，这是多么美好啊。他并没有在创造了世界之后就撒手不管，忘了我们。有时我们以及各个国家所遇到的问题会让我们思考，我们是否可以做些什么来改善或者改变这些问题。我们可以做的一件事，就是向能够改变这一切的神来祷告。可是为什么要祷告呢？旧约《但以理书》告诉我们，神“改变时候、日期，废王，立王”(但以理书 2:21)。但是你我可以引起怎样的改变呢？请听听这个应许：“这称为我名下的子民，若是自卑、祷告，寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地”(历代志下7:14)。这是怎样的一个应许啊！那么就让我们一起来祷告一会儿吧。

Sweet Hour of Prayer / 3
PROMISES MADE TO THOSE WHO PRAY
It is a good thing that the creator of the whole universe is involved in everyday life. He did not create the world and then go off and forget about us. Sometimes the problems facing us and facing countries of the world make us wonder if there is anything that we can do that would make things better or different. Well, I learned this week that there is something that we can do. We can pray to the God that can make a difference. But why pray? Daniel, in the Old Testament part of the Bible tells us that God “…changes times and seasons, deposes kings and sets up kings” (Daniel 2:21). But how could you and I make a difference? Listen to this promise: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). What a promise! Let’s therefore pray for a while together.
