一﹑本週經文Scriptures:撒母耳記上2:1-2 1 Samuel
1 哈拿禱告說:我的心因耶和華快樂;我的角因耶和華高舉。我的口向仇敵張開;我因耶和華的救恩歡欣。2 只有耶和華為聖;除他以外沒有可比的,也沒有磐石像我們的神。
2 Then Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn[a] is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. 2 “There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為墨西哥禱告:墨西哥東部伊達爾戈州的基督徒正面臨宗教迫害。在當地,大部分居民是天主教徒,他們禁止基督徒靠近公墓,使用水井等,也禁止他們的子女就學,剝奪基督徒基本生活權利,甚至施暴攻擊,迫使他們離開家園。求神憐憫,拯救當地的基督徒,賜給他們堅定的信心,平安的生活。
