2014 NATIONAL PRAYER      2014 年全美禱告詞 
Ann Graham Lotz - NDP Honorary Chairman        葛安妮勞茲-全美禱告日榮譽主席

Lord of the Universe. Lord of this planet. Lord of the nations. Lord of our hearts. On this National Day of Prayer, we look to You... In the darkness, You are our Light. In the storm, You are our Anchor.
宙的主。地球的主。萬國的主。我們心靈的主。在這全美禱告日,我們仰望祢... 在黑暗中,祢是我們的光。在風暴中,祢是我們的錨。

In our weakness, You are our Strength. In our grief, You are our Comfort. In our despair, You are our Hope. In our confusion, You are our Wisdom. In time of terrorism, You are our Shield. In time of war, You are our Peace. In times of uncertainty, You are the Rock on which we stand. 
在我們的軟弱中,祢是我們的力量。在我們的悲哀中,祢是我們的安慰。 在我們的絕望中,祢是我們的盼望。 在我們的迷惘中,祢是我們的智慧。 在恐怖主義的時候,祢是我們的盾牌。在戰爭的時候,祢是我們的和平。 在不穩定的時候,祢是我們的磐石,我們站在其上。

We make our prayer to You using the words of the prophet Daniel:
我們向祢祈禱,用先知但以理的話:

O Lord, You are the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of love with those who love Him and keep His commandments. You are merciful and forgiving. You are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame because we have sinned against You, and done wrong. We have turned away from Your commands and principles. We have turned away from You. (Daniel 9:4, 7)
主啊,大而可畏的神,向愛主守主誡命的人,守約施慈愛。祢是憐憫;饒恕人的。祢是公 義的,但如今我們是臉上蒙羞的,因我們都得罪了祢,做了錯事。我們違背了祢的命令與 法則。我們遠離了祢。

Yet You have promised in 2 Chronicles 7, that if we–a people identified with You–would humble ourselves, pray, seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, then You would hear our prayer, forgive our sin and heal our land.
然而祢在歷代志下 7 章應許,若我們-稱為祢名下的子民-自卑,禱告,尋求祢的面, 離我們的惡行,祢必垂聽我們的禱告,赦免我們的罪,醫治我們的地。

So we choose to stop pointing our finger at the sins of others, and examine our own hearts and lives. We choose to acknowledge our own sin–our neglect and defiance and ignorance and even rejection of You. This day we choose to repent.
因此我們選擇停止指向他人的罪,而省察我們自己的心及生活。我們選擇承認我們自己的 -我們對祢的忽略,背逆,無知甚至拒絕。今日我們揀選悔改。

In response to our heartfelt repentance, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Father of Jesus Christ, in keeping with all Your righteous acts and according to Your promise, turn away Your anger and Your wrath from the United States of America. Hear the prayers and petitions offered to You on this National Day of Prayer, as we give You our full attention. Give ear, our God, and hear; open Your eyes and see. We do not make requests of You because we are righteous, but because of Your great mercy.  
亞伯拉罕,以撒及雅各的神,耶穌基督的父,回應我們存心的悔改,守著祢一切的義行, 照著祢的應許,請轉離祢對美利堅合眾國的氣憤與忿怒。當我們給祢完全的注意,請聽在 全國禱告日這天獻上的禱告與祈求。我們的神,張開祢的耳而聽;張開祢的眼並且看顧。 我們向祢祈求不是因為我們公義,而是因為祢的大憐憫。

For the glory of Your Name hear our prayer, forgive our sin, and heal our land. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ who offers us salvation from Your judgment, forgiveness for our sin, and reconciliation with You through His own blood shed on the Cross. Amen.
為了祢的榮耀聽我們的禱告,赦免我們的罪,醫治我們的地。我們請求乃是奉祢兒子耶穌 基督的名,祂給我們救恩,免於祢的審判,饒恕我們的罪,並因著祂自己在十字架上所灑 的血,使我們與祢和好。阿們。
