一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 哈巴谷書1:2-4、3:17-19 Habakkuk

2 他說：耶和華啊！我呼求你，你不應允，要到幾時呢？我因強暴哀求你，你還不拯救。 3 你為何使我看見罪孽？你為何看著奸惡而不理呢？毀滅和強暴在我面前，又起了爭端和相鬥的事。 4 因此律法放鬆，公理也不顯明；惡人圍困義人，所以公理顯然顛倒。
2 How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save? 3 Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.

17 雖然無花果樹不發旺，葡萄樹不結果，橄欖樹也不效力，田地不出糧食，圈中絕了羊，棚內也沒有牛； 18 然而，我要因耶和華歡欣，因救我的　神喜樂。 19 主耶和華是我的力量；他使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄，又使我穩行在高處。
17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1. 為聖馬利諾禱告：聖馬利諾是位於義大利國境中部內的一個小獨立共和國。人口僅三萬三千多人，大多數人口都是名義上的基督徒。該國靠著旅遊與金融業經濟相當穩定。雖然該國有信仰自由但是卻發生數起因為福音而遭到監禁甚至驅逐的事件。求神給當地的信徒勇氣即便有阻撓仍舊勇敢傳福音使聖馬利諾的人都得救。
Pray for San Marino. San Marino is a very small republic located within central Italy. Among a small population of 33,000, most are nominally and culturally Catholics. They enjoy a stable economy based on tourism and banking. There is freedom of religion but there have been known cases where evangelization has led to incarceration or expulsion. Pray for believers to be emboldened to preach the gospel nonetheless so that the people of San Marino may find salvation in Christ.

2. 為新冠疫情禱告：目前加州已經有78％的人口至少接種一劑疫苗，63%的人口已經完整接種疫苗，同時，18歲以上的成人已經開放加強針的接種。求神保守加州的疫情持續消退，求神感動尚未接種疫苗的人儘速接種疫苗。
Pray for COVID-19. Up to date, 78% of the population in California has received at least one dose of vaccine, and 68% have been fully vaccinated.
