基督徒為四川地震禱告指南 – 附經訓 (林慈信牧师）
Monday, September 22nd, 20081． 在上帝面前承認，我們的心憂傷，也沒有能力安慰憂傷的心靈。求上帝按照祂的恩典憐憫我們，安慰我們眾人，更按照祂的應許與我們眾人同在。
Let us acknowledge before God that our hearts are grieving, and we do not have the power to comfort souls who grieve. Pray that the Lord have mercy on us, according to his grace, and hover over us with his presence, as he promised.
「上帝阿，求你憐憫我。因為我的心投靠你。我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下，等到災害過去。」（《詩篇》57﹕1）
“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.” Psalm 57:1
「我們在一切患難中，祂就安慰我們，叫我們能用上帝所賜的安慰，去安慰那遭各樣患難的人。」（《哥林多後書》1﹕4）
“… so that we may be able to comfort those whoa re in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (II Corinthians 1:4)
