Early Morning Prayer (Chinese/English)

Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and will look up.

诗篇5：1-3

耶和华啊，求你留心听我的言语，顾念我的心思！我的王我的　神啊，求你垂听我呼求的声音！因为我向你祈祷。耶和华啊，早晨你必听我的声音；早晨我必向你陈明我的心意，并要警醒！

Early Morning Prayer
My wife Helen and a group of ladies rise up early six days a week to pray, to my shame, I do not always join them. but when I do, it is amazing. Because seeing the sun arise whilst you are praying starts the day in the best way possible.

清晨祷告
我的妻子海伦和一群女士每周六天早起祷告，令我羞愧的是，我并不总是加人她们。但当我这样做时，真是太神奇了。因为在祷告时看到太阳升起，会让新的一天以最美好的方式开始。

We are most alert first thing in the morning.  However, rising early can be difficult for most of us; believe me, I speak from experience. The devil hates it when we pray, especially when we start our day with a conversation with God, because in the that part of the day, there are no distractions. No one is phoning us up, no one is texting us at 6am- unless our friends are light sleepers!!!
我们早上最清醒。然而早起对我们大多数人来说都很难；相信我，这是经验之谈。撒旦讨厌我们祷告，特别是当我们开始新的一天与上帝对话时，因为在一天的这个时段，没有任何干扰。没有人在早上6点给我们打电话，也没有人给我们发短信…除非我们的朋友是浅度睡眠者。

Jesus is our example in getting up in the morning. Many times, Jesus prayed all night and experienced His Father’s Presence in the morning.
耶稣是我们早起的榜样。许多时候，耶稣整夜祷告，并在早晨经历天父的同在。

Do you take the opportunity to seek the Lord in the morning?  I know that when I don’t pray early in the morning, my day does not go well.
你是否抓住了在早上寻求主的机会？我知道当我不在早上祷告时，我的一天就不会太顺利。

The Lord wants to hear from you at the start of each new day.  For some, your day may start in the evenings because of your occupation.  Beginning your day with God will give you the joy and peace to face the challenges that each day brings.  So, when you rise, allow a praise to rise from your lips to God’s ears.
上帝渴望在每一个新的一天开始时听到你的声音。对一些人来说，由于职业原因，他们的一天可能从晚上开始。在上帝面前开始你的一天会赐予你喜乐和平安，来面对每一天的挑战。所以，当你醒来时，让一声赞美升起，达到上帝的耳中。

God bless you
上帝祝福你
