2016新年的祈禱：以基督耶穌的心為心

《以基督耶穌的心為心》
主啊！長壽對我有何益處呢？除非我住在你的同在中，
單為你的榮耀而總是以愛來服事你，以及我周圍的人。
請將前後環繞我的那種恩典賜給我，
引導我每一步路，在每個試煉中扶持我；
使我在聖潔上長進，救我脫離諸般惡事。
使我因此永不須臾與你有間隔。
幫助我倚賴你的靈，充滿我每一思想；
讓你的言語，顯在我一切言語中。
引導我每一步路，賜福我手所做一切工。
使落在我心田裡每顆信心的種子生長，賜我公開讚美你的願望，
跟別人述說你的愛，並為你的國度效力。
當我生命之船航向新的一年未知之海洋時，我向你禱告，
哦，聖父啊！作我安棲的港口；哦，聖子啊！作我的掌舵者；
哦，聖靈啊！吹滿我的帆！
讓你的燈點亮我的燈，引導我穿越黑暗的深處。
讓我的耳朵向你的聲音敞開，讓我的心湧流著你的愛。
賜我恩惠好潔淨我的靈魂，賜我安慰來鼓舞我的心，
賜我智慧來點亮我的心思。
讓你的右手引導我的腳步，你的謀略教導我的意志，
你的律例成為我一切行動的典章。
願你的同在設立在我裡頭，哦，神啊！
使我按你該受的敬畏來敬畏你，願你的得勝成為我的喜樂。
奉耶穌的名。阿們。

《Living in Your Presence》
O Lord,
A long life does me no good unless I live in your presence
Always serving and loving You and my fellow man for your glory alone.
Give me the kind of grace that goes before me and follows after me
That guides my every step and sustains me in every trial advertisement
That grows me in holiness and delivers me from every evil
So that I am never for one moment separated from you.
Help me to rely on your Spirit to fill every thought that I think
To speak in every word that I speak, To direct every step that I take
To bless every work of my hands, And to grow every seed of faith
That has fallen on the soil of my heart.
Give me a desire to praise you openly
Tell others about your love, and promote your Kingdom
As I launch my ship on the unknown sea of this year, I pray
O Father, be my harbor, O Son, be at my helm, O Holy Spirit, fill my sails
And guide me across these depths with my lamp shining with your light
My ears open to your voice, and my heart overflowing with your love
Give me the grace that cleanses the soul, The comfort that encourages the hear
t The wisdom that enlightens the mind, Let your right hand guide my steps
Let your counsel instruct my will, Let your law judge my actions
May your presence make a man of me
O God, may your fear be my awe and your triumphs my joy.
For Jesus’sake, Amen.
