第九天 培养对神的渴慕
为儿子祷告
主啊，我为________(孩子的名字)祷告，使他不断地渴望更多认识你。愿他渴慕你的同在，渴慕花时间向你祷告、赞美、敬拜。赐他一颗渴望你话语的真理、及爱慕你律例与法则的心。教导他靠信心而活，被圣灵引导，随时能行出你要他去行的事。愿他能清楚察觉圣灵在他内心的丰满，好使他一感空虚时便能立刻来到你面前被更新、复原。
我祷告使他的心在你以外没有任何变节效忠的对象，使他能拒绝一切邪恶与违抗你的事物。愿他所做的每件事情、每个抉择，都表现出他对你及你道路所有最深的尊敬和爱意。帮助他了解行为所导致的后果，明白情欲的下场就是生命死亡。愿他不要自以为有智慧，而要"敬畏耶和华，远离恶事"(箴 3:7)。
我祷告使他成为值得信赖、可靠、有责任感、心怀慈悲、灵敏度高、有爱心、愿意付出的人。拯救他脱离一切的骄傲、闲懒、怠惰、自私、肉体的情欲。我祷告使他能有受教和降服的灵，愿意对神的事物说"是"、对情欲的事物说"不"。坚固他，使他能有坚定的信念。
我祷告使他永远愿意在教会中，就是在注重你话语的真理，有圣灵带领，并在崇拜、祷告、教导方面充满能力的教会中成为积极勤奋的一员。当他学习研读你的话语时，把你的律例写在他的意念与心灵中，好使他永远相信、并有把握行在你公义的诫命中。当他在学习祷告时，愿他也学会倾听你的声音。我祷告他与你之间的关系永远不会不冷不热、漠然无趣、或肤浅薄弱。愿他心中永远都有一团圣灵的烈火，永远渴慕着神的事物。
Lord, I pray for ××× to have an ever-increasing hunger for more of You. May he long for Your presence-long to spend time with You in prayer, praise, and worship. Give him a desire for the truth of Your Word and a love for Your laws and Your ways. Teach him to live by faith. May he be so aware of the fullness of Your Holy Spirit that he will immediately run to You to be renewed and refreshed.
I pray that his heart will not have any allegiances or diversions away from You, but rather that he would be repulsed by ungodliness and all that is in opposition to You. May a deep reverence and love for You and Your ways color everything he does and every choice he makes. Help him to understand the consequences of his actions and know that a life controlled by the flesh will only reap death. May he not be wise in his own eyes, but rather "fear the Lord and depart from evil" (Proverbs 3:7)
I pray that he will be reliable, dependable, responsible, compassionate, sensitive, loving and giving to others. Deliver him from any pride, laziness, slothfulness, selfishness, or lust of the flesh. I pray that he will have a teachable and submissive spirit that says "Yes" to the things of God and "No" to the things of the flesh. Strengthen him to stand strong in his convictions.
I pray that he will always desire to be an active member of a Christian church that is alive to the truth of Your Word and the power of the Holy Spirit led worship, prayer, and teaching. As he learns to read Your Word, write Your law in his mind and on his heart so that he always walks with a confident assurance of the righteousness of Your commands. As he learns to pray, may he also learn to listen for Your voice. I pray that his relationship with You will never become lukewarm, indifferent, or shallow. May there always be a Holy Spirit fire in his heart and an unwavering desire for the things of God.
