9太二六41 要儆醒祷告，免得入了试诱；你们的灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了。
9Matt. 26:41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
10弗六18 时时在灵里祷告，并尽力坚持，在这事上儆醒，且为众圣徒祈求。
10Eph. 6:18 By means of all prayer and petition, praying at every time in spirit and watching unto this in all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints.
11虽然在宇宙中激烈进行的争战是在神与撒但之间，但与另一方也有牵连。这第三方包括神所拣选并救赎的人，他们是真正决定这场争战胜负的人。
11Although the battle raging in the universe is between God and Satan, another party is involved. This third party consists of God’s chosen and redeemed people, the ones who will actually decide the outcome of the battle.
12为了要在神这一边与撒但争战，我们需要坚定持续地祷告。这种的坚定持续是必需的，因为整个世界的趋向都是远离神的。祷告乃是在堕落的宇宙中抵挡潮流。坚定持续地祷告就像逆水行舟。……无疑的，要这样坚定持续地划船或祷告，都需要极大的力量。……世界上有一股强大的潮流，敌挡神的旨意。我们这些与神站在一起的人，发现整个宇宙都在反对我们，尤其是反对我们的祷告（歌罗西书生命读经，七一八至七一九页）。
12In order to fight on God’s side against Satan, we need to persevere in prayer. This perseverance is needed because the course of the whole world is away from God. To pray is to go against the current, the trend, in the fallen universe. Persevering in prayer is like rowing a boat upstream…No doubt, to persevere in this way, either in rowing or in praying, requires a great deal of energy…There is a strong current in the world in opposition to the will of God. As those who take sides with God, we find that the whole universe is against us and, in particular, against our prayer. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 578-579)

13在你想要坚定持续地祷告以前，首先该为你的祷告生活和主办交涉，要确定地向主祷告说，“主，在祷告的事上，我向你是认真的。我呼天唤地作见证，从现在开始，我要有祷告的生活。我不要作一个不祷告的人，我要作一个祷告的人。”如果你没有向主有过这样的祷告，你就无法坚定持续地祷告。我们要对祂说，“主，我在这事上很迫切。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。”……我们都必须为着我们的祷告生活向主许愿。我们应当告诉主：“主，我知道如果我忘了所许的愿，你不会忘记。主，从一开始我就要清清楚楚地把责任交给你。主，不要让我过去，要提醒我祷告。”
13Before you try to persevere in prayer, you should first make a deal with the Lord concerning your prayer life. Pray to Him in a definite way and say, “Lord, I mean business with You about this matter of prayer. I call heaven and earth to witness that from this time forth I will have a life of prayer. I will not be a prayerless person. Rather, I will be a praying person.” If you do not have such a prayer to the Lord, you will not be able to persevere in prayer. 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.”…We all need to make a vow to Him concerning our prayer life. We should tell the Lord, “Lord, I know that if I forget this vow, You will not forget it. From the very beginning, Lord, I want to clearly hand the responsibility over to You. Lord, don’t let me go. Remind me to pray.”
14我们为祷告和主办了这样的交涉以后，就该划出定时祷告的时间。比方说，你可以每天早晨留下十分钟。……我们的态度应当把祷告当作我们最重要的事，不让任何的事打岔。如果我们没有这种态度，我们的祷告生活就无法成功。不论我们每天必须作多少事，我们至少能在某些时段留下几分钟来祷告。早晨我们可以有一些祷告，然后中午、下班后以及晚间可以再有些时间祷告。我们在一天之内划出确定的时间，就能留下半个钟头来祷告了。
14After we make such a deal with the Lord concerning prayer, we should set aside definite times for prayer. For instance, you may reserve ten minutes every morning…Our attitude should be that prayer is our most important business and that nothing should be allowed to interfere with it. If we do not have this attitude, we shall not be able to have a successful prayer life. No matter how many things we have to do each day, we can reserve at least a few minutes here and there for prayer. We may pray a little in the morning. Then again at noon, after work, and in the evening we may have other times for prayer. By setting aside definite times during the day, we may be able to have a half hour reserved for prayer.
15我们若要经历基督并活基督，就需要留在祷告的气氛里。……借着祷告，我们就被带进灵里，在灵里我们与主是一，并接受祂作我们的生命。这个经历太宝贵了，因此当我们这样享受时，我们不愿意停下来。我们喜欢留在灵里，与主是一。然而，只要我们祷告的时间过了，我们多半又回到天然生活的方式里。我们不再在祷告的气氛里，反而又自动地开始竭力想要圣别、属灵、得胜。每当我们失败了，我们就悔改，向主认罪，决心重头再来一遍。这不是过基督徒生活的路。相反的，我们日常的生活应当与我们在真正祷告里的经历一样。当我们把自己祷告到灵里，我们就与主是一，享受祂的同在，并且自然而然地活祂。我们用不着努力，就能圣别、属灵且得胜；我们没有难处，也没有挂虑（歌罗西书生命读经，七二○至七二一、四一五至四一六页）。
15If we would experience Christ and live Him, we need to remain in an atmosphere of prayer…By prayer we are brought into the spirit, where we are one with the Lord and take Him as our life. This experience is so precious that when we are enjoying it, we do not want it to end. We like to remain in spirit to be one with the Lord. However, as soon as our time of prayer is over, most of the time we revert to our natural way of living. We are no longer in an atmosphere of prayer. Automatically we begin to try once again to be holy, spiritual, and victorious. Whenever we fail, we repent, confess to the Lord, and resolve to try again. This is not the way to live the Christian life. On the contrary, our daily living should be the same as our experience in genuine prayer. When we pray ourselves into the spirit, we are one with the Lord, we enjoy His presence, and we spontaneously live Him. Without exerting any effort, we are holy, spiritual, and victorious. We have no problems and no anxieties. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 579-580, 334)
