2019《新年的祈禱 New Year's Prayer》 &《A Prayer of Self-Dedication》
《新年的祈禱 New Year's Prayer》
As this New Year commences, let me remember the past year.
In so doing, I truly repent of all that has hindered me from abiding in You.
Forgive me, for the times I neglected prayer and Your word as my focus.
Forgive me, for the promises and resolutions I made and never fulfilled.
Let me recall the things that hindered me
from getting closer to You and keeping Your word.
May I come to realize my mistakes and shortcomings and make amends.
May we be slow to anger and condemnation
but be swift to respond in love, peace and forgiveness.
May unity be our motto and love for one another
be our utmost desire in this new year.
In this New Year, may all we do bring You Great Glory.
As we decrease in fame and vain glory,
may You increase in all Praise and Honor and Glory.
在這新的一年開始之際,請讓我記得過去的一年
我真誠地為了攔阻我住在你裡面的一切而悔改
為那些我忽略了專注的禱告與讀經的時間
為那些我沒有實現的諾言與決心,請求你的赦免
讓我想起那些攔阻我更親近你並遵行你道之事物
讓我看清我的錯誤、過犯,使我能修正它們
讓我們慢一點動怒與定罪別人,快一點以愛、平安、饒恕來回應
但願新的一年,合一是我們的座右銘,彼此相愛是我最深渴望
新的一年,願我們一切所行都能帶下你的榮耀
願我們的名聲與榮耀衰微,你的讚美、尊貴與榮耀加添
Lord, You make all things new
You bring hope alive in our hearts
And cause our Spirits to be born again.
Thank you for this new year
For all the potential it holds.
Come and kindle in us
A mighty flame
So that in our time, many will see the wonders of God
And live forever to praise Your glorious name. Amen
主啊!你將一切都更新了
你將活潑的盼望帶到我們心裡,使我們的靈得以重生
為這新的一年和其中一切潛能感謝你
請來並在我們心中點著大能的火燄
在你為我們所訂的時辰,許多人得以看見神的奇事
並活到永恆,來稱頌你榮耀的名,阿們!
《A Prayer of Self-Dedication》
Anglican Prayer suitable for the start of a new year:-
Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to thee,
so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills,
that we may be wholly thine, utterly dedicated unto thee;
and then use us, we pray thee, as thou wilt,
and always to thy glory and the welfare of thy people;
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
全能永在的神,吸引我們來親近你
引導我們的心思,充滿我們的想像力,管理我們的意志
使我們全然屬你,完全獻上為你
然後,我們祈求你,請使用我們,照你的旨意
為你自己的榮耀,為你百姓的福祉
藉著我們的主和救主耶穌基督。阿們!
