每日金句
……“我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫这杯离开我;然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。”

…"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
—Matthew 26:39
“无所谓。”也许你听过有人在不得不做些他们不喜欢的事时,会这样说。
当我们向神祷告说:“愿祢的旨意成就……”(参太 6:10)——这难道像在说“无所谓”,不得已举手投降吗?
绝非如此!“愿祢的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上”,主祷文中的这个祈求,是求神使我们这个世界更新成为当初被造的样子。是祈求我们渺小、自私的意愿被神向普世所有人所怀的那宽广、良善的意愿代替。它是祈求我们这个世界中腐朽、困扰的体系转变为与神那公义、无瑕疵的道路一致,好使一切受造物都繁荣昌盛。
每当我们祈求“愿祢的旨意成就……”,我们就是摆上自己,参与到神对我们生命和我们这个世界所存的良善旨意之中了。
“愿祢的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上”这一祷告的最佳范例就是耶稣受难前一夜的祷告。面对一个远比我们想像更糟的情况,耶稣说:“不要照我的意思,只要照祢的意思。”
耶稣顺服神的旨意给我们带来了永恒的祝福。当我们顺服神的旨意,我们也会向祂所造的世界传递祝福。

"Whatever." Maybe you've heard someone say this when they had to deal with something they didn't like.
When we pray to God, saying, "Your will be done…" (Matthew 6:10)—is that like saying "Whatever" and throwing up our hands in resignation?
By no means! This petition of the Lord's Prayer, "Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," asks God to make our world as he originally intended it to be. It asks that our small, selfish desires be replaced by God's expansive, good desires for all people everywhere. It asks that our world's corrupt and grinding systems align with God's just and blameless ways so that everything in creation can flourish.
When we pray "Your will be done… ," we commit ourselves to participating in God's good will for our lives and our world.
The best example of praying "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" is in Jesus' prayer on the night before his death. Facing a situation far worse than any of us could imagine, Jesus aligned himself completely with God's will as he said, "Not as I will, but as you will."
Jesus' submission to God's will has brought us eternal blessings. When we submit to God's will, we also bring blessings to his world.
