第十三章

1 耶和華啊，你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你掩面不顧我要到幾時呢？
2 我心裡籌算，終日愁苦要到幾時呢？我的仇敵升高壓制我要到幾時呢？
3 耶和華我的神啊，求你看顧我，應允我，使我眼目光明，免得我沉睡至死；
4 免得我的仇敵說：“我勝了他”；免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。
5 但我倚靠你的慈愛，我的心因你的救恩快樂。
6 我要向耶和華歌唱，因他用厚恩待我。

默想：
1.慢慢地讀這首詩，你對於詩人向神的呼求，是否心有戚戚焉之
感？自問一下：究竟我向神有什麼要求？深一層地省察這要求
的是否背後，是否有什麼更深層的渴望？

2.現在就你的渴望，想一個對你最有意義的神的名字。用這個神
的名字來為你的這項渴望來禱告。例如：大能的神，賜給我公
義；偉大的醫生，醫治我因……而得的創傷；慈愛的天父，赦
免我所犯……的罪。

3.這一天當中，不斷地以這個短句來禱告；到晚上，思想一下，
神在這一天中如何回應你的禱告，及你的渴望。

禱告與筆錄：
繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思
想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

Chapter 13
1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sor
row in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I
will sleep in death, 4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.

Meditation

1. Read this psalm slowly. Do you find similar feelings as you read
the psalmist’s cry for God’s attention? Pause and ask: “What am
I asking of God”? Identify your want or need from God. Look
closer to see what deeper desire might be behind it.

2. Now think of a name for God that is most meaningful to you with
respect to the desire just identified. Use this name of God in your
prayer for this desire. For example: Powerful God, give me justice;
Great physician, heal my hurts from …; Loving Father, forgive my sin of …

3. Throughout the day, pray your phrase as often as possible. At the
end of the day, think about how God responded to your desire.

Prayer & Journaling:
Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse with God and listen
to what he wants to tell me. Then write down any thought and/or prayer
in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
