SAN MATEO 25:36

您相信祷告的力量吗？ 当我们面对的问题太大以致无法承担时，我们会感到绝望或无奈，也自然会想要逃避。但不要忘记，祷告是我们和全能之上帝的连接点：上帝已经知道我们的所思所求，而祷告会帮助我们亲近和依靠上帝，祷告和上帝的动工有奇秒的关联。 Compassion Canada 诚恳邀请您一起为全球粮食危机的受害者祷告。 我们要祷告祈求每个人对此议题有所认知和同情； 我们要祷告祈求上帝亲自动工协助； 我们也要祷告祈求具体的行动方向。 每个人可以依照适合自己的进度进行：可以按着进圣经当代译本度完成三天的祷告，或是把时间拉长，每几天完成一个祷告项目。 （注：本读经计划引用的经文出自圣经当代译本修订版。）

Perhaps one of the most impressive short stories of all time, the book of Ruth is an account of God’s redeeming love. The book of Ruth is a fantastic story of how God uses the lives of ordinary people to work His sovereign will. With beautiful allegories of Christ’s love and sacrifice for His people, we are shown the lengths God goes to redeem His children.

Explore your purpose as a follower of Jesus: to love God and love others. Over seven days, we will unpack the themes of personal worship, transformation, compassion, service, and justice. Each session starts with a prayer to help you focus on the day’s theme, a passage or two from scripture, a thought from a theological perspective, and ways to apply and respond to the reading.

More than ever, people are aware that we are deeply connected. This unique time is an opportunity for us to reflect on how we share in each other’s suffering, center ourselves on God, and rise to a calling that does not expire simply because the world is in trouble, but perhaps is even more important now: to demonstrate the radical love of Christ to the most vulnerable in our world.
