1. 停下來. 靜一靜
2. 等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 感受主的臨在, 呼出你的憂慮
讚美及感恩
1. 思想最近使你開心歡笑的時刻
2. 為那些時刻及有關的人感恩
3. 敞開心懷讚美主
耶 和 華 有 恩 惠 ， 有 憐 憫 ， 不 輕 易 發 怒 ， 大 有 慈 愛 。
耶 和 華 善 待 萬 民 ； 他 的 慈 悲 覆 庇 他 一 切 所 造 的 。
耶 和 華 善 待 萬 民 ； 他 的 慈 悲 覆 庇 他 一 切 所 造 的 。
詩篇 145:8-9
1. 求聖靈在你生命中工作
"親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
求你幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"
2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
「親愛的主耶穌，感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上，我願意在你面前承認我的罪（凡聖靈光照到的，請逐一說出），求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪，我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主，求你救贖我，我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主，求你帶領我。聖靈，求你充滿我，使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

21 以 利 加 拿 和 他 全 家 都 上 示 羅 去 ， 要 向 耶 和 華 獻 年 祭 ， 並 還 所 許 的 願 。
22 哈 拿 卻 沒 有 上 去 ， 對 丈 夫 說 ： 等 孩 子 斷 了 奶 ， 我 便 帶 他 上 去 朝 見 耶 和 華 ， 使 他 永 遠 住 在 那 裡 。
撒母耳記上 1:21-22
21 The husband Elkanah and all his household went up to offer Yahweh the yearly sacrifice and to fulfill his promise, 22 but Hannah did not go up "Because" (she said to her husband), “when the boy is weaned I will bring him. We will see Yahweh's face, and he will stay there permanently."
1 Samuel 1:21-22 (Old Testament Translation by John Goldingay)
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:

我的聆聽
Today I use Professor John Goldingay's translation for these three verses. Why? Because I think his translation of verse 22 "We will see Yahweh's face" is more inspiring and accurate then what ESV or NIV has "Present him before the Lord".
讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導:
The Torah speaks of the festivals as occasions when people go to "appear before" God, but Hannah uses a bolder expression. They are occasions when people go to "see God" (it's the same Hebrew verb, but a different form of it). No doubt she doesn't expect physically to see God; she is too wise a woman to reckon that God is bodily and visible. She will think of seeing God in not such a different way to the way Christians do when we speak of seeing God with the eyes of our hearts, as we might put it. Hannah knows that when you go to God's house, you really meet with God.

省察問題
1. Have you seen God in that kind of sense, especially after you experienced His great power?
2. Could you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to recall one to two occasions now and give thanks to the Lord, then ask God to open your eyes to be able to see Him?
3. What have you got from Jesus today?
