流泪祷告
我很希望今天我能坐在你身边，为你脑子里所想的事情而祷告。我们的祷告经常被泪水浸透，不是吗？当我们感到绝望，或者不太指望事情会变得好起来时，我们常常会流泪。最近有什么特别的事让你落泪吗？把它们写下来，为这些事祷告。我真希望你可以写给我，并且把你的祷告列单发给我，这样我也可以为这些事而祷告。在他人面前哭泣可能会使我们觉得尴尬，并且让他人觉得有点不安。但是如果当我们意识到我们内心深处的需要，并且记得当我们向神祷告时，就像是在和一位真正的好朋友一起进行着直接的交谈一样，那么我们便会知道，哭是可以的，是因为有一些事让我落泪。

PRAY YOUR TEARS
I wish I could sit beside you today and pray about things on your mind. Often our prayers are saturated with tears, aren’t they? When we feel desperate and lack hope that things are going to get any better, it many times brings us to tears. Has anything in particular brought you to tears lately? Write those things down and pray about them. I wish you would write to me and send me your list so I could pray about them too. Crying around some people might embarrass us and make other people a little uncomfortable. But when we realize our deep need and we remember that when we pray to God, it is like we are having a direct conversation with a good and true friend, then we know our tears are okay to have. There are some things that bring me to tears.
