三位一体与祷告
基督徒相信的独一真神，是有三个位格的：圣父、圣子、和圣灵。我们的脑袋无法完全明白这个奥秘的复杂之处，然而，我们可以在祷告中清楚看到三位一体的奥秘如何在我们生命中应用出来。
祷告基本上牵涉三位一体神的每一位；我们向父祷告、奉耶稣的名祷告、和藉着圣灵的能力祷告。
这件事的含义真的是非常奇妙。圣父、圣子、和圣灵和谐地在爱中共处，祂们彼此荣耀和互相支持。我们祷告时，三位一体神中的三位也亲切地容纳和支持我们；我们的祷告，把我们与神三位中的互爱和祂们在世上奇妙的作为联系起来。
以下是一幅描绘这个情景的图画：耶稣受洗时，圣灵便在祂祷告时降临在祂身上，圣父也说：“你是我的爱子，我喜悦你”(路加福音 3:21-22)。祷告时，我们有份于三位一体神和谐合一的爱，神的爱临到所有奉父、子、和圣灵的名受洗的人身上(马太福音 28:19)。我们祷告，因为我们也是神所爱和蒙祂喜悦的儿女呢！
父啊，当我奉耶稣的名、藉着圣灵的能力向祢祷告时，感谢祢把祢的爱赐给我，求祢帮助我也去与别人分享祢的爱。阿们。
以弗所书 3:14-21
14 因此，我在父面前屈膝——
15 天上地上的各 家，都是从他得名——
16 求他按着他丰盛的荣耀，藉着他的灵，叫你们心里的力量刚强起来，
17 使基督因你们的信住在你们心里，叫你们的爱心有根有基，
18 能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深，
19 并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的，便叫神一切所充满的充满了你们。
20 神能照着运行在我们心里的大力，充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。
21 但愿他在教会中，并在基督耶稣里得着荣耀，直到世世代代，永永远远！阿们。
The Trinity And Prayer
"I kneel before the Father.... I pray that... he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit... so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith." — Ephesians 3:14-17
Christians believe that the one God exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our minds cannot sort out all the complexities of this mystery, but prayer is a wonderful way for the mystery of the Trinity to find application in our lives.
A basic understanding of prayer is that it involves all three persons of the Trinity. We pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
What this means is something really amazing. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit live together in loving harmony, each one glorifying and supporting the others. And when we pray, the three persons of the Trinity also graciously include and support us. Our prayers connect us with the interchange of God's love and amazing work in this world.
Here's a picture of what that looks like: When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended on him as he was praying, and the Father said, "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:21-22). When we pray, we participate in the same self-effacing love that unites the Trinity. The love of God is extended to all who have been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). We pray because we too are the beloved children of God with whom he is pleased!
As I pray to you, Father, in the name of Jesus, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I thank you for giving me your love. Help me to share your love with others. Amen.
