信心使我們配得

因為我們不配禱告,才需要禱告。
因為我們不配禱告,我們才膽敢禱告。
唯獨信靠上帝的信實,使得我們配得禱告,禱告也必蒙應允。——馬丁路德(AE 42:89)

We pray after all because we are unworthy to pray.
The very fact that we are unworthy and that we dare to pray confidently, trusting only in the faithfulness of God, makes us worthy to pray and to have our prayer answered.(AE 42:89)
