Praise - Praising God for who He is. His attributes. His name or his Character.
Attribute : God is our Security - "Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders." 申命记33：12 “ 耶和华所亲爱的必同耶和华安然居住。耶和华终日遮蔽他，也住在他两肩之中。”
思想和世界观对于一个人命运影响是强大的，记得一句话：态度决定一切，还有一段出自Stephen Covey的话，让我印象深刻 — 'Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.' 中文翻译有 “播种一种思想，收获一种行为。播种一种行为，收获一种习惯。播种一种习惯，收获一种性格。播种一种性格，收获一种命运，播种一种命运。” 对于基督徒来说，常常求圣灵查验我们的思想，来自上帝随时的提醒帮助反省是至关重要的。
今天重点的主题就是祷告孩子们的思想意念顺服基督，并能享受来自祂所赐予的平安喜乐。
很妙的是，这个星期的读书主题也很适合这个主题，《Prayer Warrior Mom: Covering Your Kids With God's Blessings 》，第五章 ‘ Pray with Power and Authority ' , 喜欢书里提到，物质世界，万物生长有序，大自然有神所设立的规律，同样在属灵的层面，更有神的属灵规律，通过祂的话语向我们启示。不可避免的，我们活在属灵争战中，而神的律是保护和方向指引，活在神的心意里是最大的平安。
摘录书中我喜欢的一段祷告，“Lord, help my children to aways obey your Word and Your commands. Protect them from physical, spiritual, and emotional harm. Keep them from developing a spirit of fear, bitterness, or insecurity. Teach them to discern and pursue Your will for them in everything. Give them a spirit of wholeness, confidence, triumph, and confidence in You. Help them to seek You, know You, and love You always. I pray that they will walk with You every day in victory. In Jesus' name. amen. ”
