10我们已经看见我们灵的重要性,现在我们要来看我们灵的操练。我们必须建立操练灵的习惯。我早上起来的时候,自然而然会说的第一句话是:“哦,主。”借着说“哦,主”而呼求主,乃是操练灵的习惯。……这会有很大的不同。你早上起来如果什么也不说,你可能有例行公事的祷告,却没有真正地摸着主;这是因为你没有操练灵。我们必须建立说“哦,主”的习惯。当我们说“哦,主”的时候,我们就摸着主。这是操练灵的习惯(李常受文集一九九三年第二册,二四一页)。
10Now that we have seen the importance of our spirit, we want to see the exercise of our spirit. We must build up a habit of exercising our spirit…In the morning, the first thing I spontaneously say is “O Lord.” To call on the Lord by saying, “O Lord” is a habit of exercising our spirit…[It] makes a big difference. If you rise up in the morning without saying anything, you may pray in a routine way without really touching the Lord. This is because there is no exercise of your spirit. We have to build up a habit of saying, “O Lord.” When we say, “O Lord,” we touch the Lord. This is the habit of exercising our spirit. (CWWL, 1993, vol. 2, “The Spirit with Our Spirit,” p. 181)
