你相信祷告可以引起改变吗？
你相信祷告可以引起改变吗？圣经旧约中有一个叫大卫的人，他教导人们说,“耶和华的眼目看顾义人；他的耳朵听他们的呼求”(诗篇 34:15)。新约中有一个叫彼得的人，他引用了同样的经节提醒他那个时候的人们要记住这个应许,“主的眼看顾义人；主的耳听他们的祈祷”(彼得前书3:12)。旧约中有一个人叫希西家，他得病快要死了，于是他流着泪一遍又一遍地向神祷告。神给他的回应是,“我听见了你的祷告，看见了你的眼泪，我必医治你……我必加增你十五年的寿数”(列王纪下20:5-6)。圣经反复地告诉我们，我们可以满有信心及勇气向神祷告，因为祷告可以改变我们的生活。

24 DO YOU BELIEVE THAT PRAYER CAN CHANGE THINGS?
Do you believe that prayer can change things There was a man in the Old Testament part of the Bible named David who taught people that “the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry” (Psalm 34:15). A man in the New Testament part of the Bible named Peter reminded the people of his day of this very promise and quoted the same verse, “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers” (1 Peter 3:12). There was a man in the Old Testament by the name of Hezekiah. He had an illness that was going to end his life and he tearfully prayed over and over to God. God’s response to him was, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; indeed, I will heal you…I will add fifteen years to your life” (2 Kings 20:5-6). The Bible over and over is trying to tell us that we can pray with confidence and courage because prayer changes things in our lives.
