125 在我们想要坚定持续地祷告以前,首先该为我们的祷告生活向主许愿;我们要对祂说,“主,我要在这事上拼上去;我把自己献给你,好叫我有祷告的生活;主,保守我在祷告的灵里;如果我忘记了,忽略了,我知道你不会忘记,求你一再提醒我要祷告。”
125 Before we try to persevere in prayer, we should first make a vow to the Lord concerning our prayer life; we need to say to Him, "Lord, I am desperate about this; I offer myself to You so that I may have a prayer life; Lord, keep me in the spirit of prayer; if I forget this or neglect this, I know that You will not forget it; remind me again and again about prayer."
