跪下祷告
“保罗说完了这话，就跪下同众人祷告。”
使徒行传 20:36
与别人一起祷告，特别是要一起大声祷告，对于我们很多人来说是一件令人生畏的事。结果，我们很多人就期待别人来祷告，或者我们自己干脆避免祷告的时间。我们要么担心说错，或担心说一些听起来愚蠢的话，要么根本就是不敢开口。
祷告 的确是件严肃的事情。但是祷告也应该是一项建立关系的事情。祷告，就是与上帝交谈。当几个人一起祷告时，就是一种集体的交谈。
使徒保罗在他一生中最后一次旅行布道之前，跟一些亲密的同工分享了自己的异象。然后，他们就跪下一同祷告。他们不担心自己会说错了什么，或者谁更会祷告，他们只是同心合一与上帝对话。
今日祷告：
主耶稣，求祢给我勇气，让我能开口与别人一起祷告。阿们。

Knelt Down and Prayed
When he had finished speaking, he knelt and prayed with them.
ACTS 20:36
Praying with others, especially praying out loud, can be an intimidating experience for many of us. As a result, many of us leave the praying up to someone else, or we just avoid prayer times completely. We might be afraid to say the wrong thing, or say something that sounds stupid, or simply be afraid to say anything at all.
Prayer is indeed a solemn activity, but it is also supposed to be a relational activity as well. Prayer is simply talking with God. And when several people pray together, it is really a group conversation.
When the apostle Paul was preparing for his final big endeavor in life, he shared with some close friends what he thought his plans were going to be. Afterward, through tears and friendship, they got down on their knees and prayed for one another. They didn’t worry about what they sounded like or who was better, they simply had a conversation with God together.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, give me the courage to pray with people. Amen.
