“A Prayer of William Barclay”『巴克萊牧師的晨禱』

【重明/譯】

^.^~~☆~^.^~~☆~^.^~~☆★★ ~^.^~

O God, my father,

give me patience all through today.

Give me patience with my work,

so that I may work at a job until I finish it or get it right,

no matter how difficult or boring it may be.

Give me patience with people,

so that I will not become irritated or annoyed,

and so that I never lose my temper with them.

Give me patience with life,

so that I may not give up hope when hopes are long in coming true;

so that I may accept disappointment without bitterness

and delay without complaint.

Hear this my morning prayer for Your love’s sake,

Amen.

喔，上帝，我的父親，

請您賜給我一整天的耐心。

讓我耐心的去完成我的工作，

而且做得對，不論工作是多麼困難或無聊。

讓我對人有耐心，

因此，不急躁，不厭煩，不發脾氣。

請讓我對生活有耐心，

對尚未成真的希望不輕易放棄；

因此，不因失望而懷恨，

不因延遲而抱怨。

以上是我的晨禱，

阿們。
