就算感到难受也要祷告
在我住的那座城市里有一个十九岁的小女孩。她是一名优秀的运动员，也是一名优秀的在校大学生。她受人喜爱，有着光明的前程。这个女孩有着温馨的家，还有很多的朋友。可是，她得了一种病，差点要了她的命。随着病情不断地恶化，她已经失去了双脚，就连一双手也很可能会失去。若是我有何抱怨，神啊，求您饶恕我。我知道我们需要做的是感恩。当别人对你说“谢谢”时，你感觉棒极了，不是吗？当别人感谢你时，你会感觉到你为他们做的事是值得的。神甚至还告诉我们要“凡事谢恩”(帖撒罗尼迦前书5:18)。事实上，旧约《诗篇》中曾说到“称谢耶和华!”是件美好的事（诗篇92:1)。当你祷告时，请客花上一些时间来感谢神。感恩的人总是更为幸福的，他们内心也会有更大的平安。

30 PRAY EVEN WHEN IT HURTS
There is a 19 year old girl who lives in the city where I live who is a good athlete and a good student in college. She is well liked and had a great future ahead of herself. A great family. Many friends. She got sick with an illness that almost killed her and as it worked on her body, she lost both legs and might still lose one hand. Forgive me God when I complain. We need to be thankful. Isn’t it just great when someone says “thank you” to you. It gives meaning to the work that we do for others when they say thank you. God has even told us, “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). In fact, it was said in the book of Psalms in the Old Testament part of the Bible that “It is good thing to give thanks to the Lord” (Psalms 92:1) When you pray, spend some time thanking God. Thankful people are happier and have greater peace in their hearts.
