Be grateful
Look for light

Ang Ating Mithiin. Gaano tayo dapat magpapasalamat sa bawat kaunting liwanag na itinatapon Niya sa ating daan. ¶ Titingnan natin ang iba sa liwanag na ‘yon. ¶ Kung gaanong buong matapat tayong lalakad dito, ay nasa bawat isa sa atin.

Key Text
Psalm 55:17 NKJV
“Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.”

8. What a wonder it is that we pray so little!
The Promise of Prayer
Initial Words {115}
“Our heavenly Father waits to bestow upon us the fullness of His blessing. It is our privilege to drink largely at the fountain of boundless love.
What a wonder it is that we pray so little!
Panimulang Salita. Ang ating Ama sa langit ay naghihintay na ipagkaloob sa atin ang kapunuan ng Kanyang pagpapala. Pribilehiyo natin ang higit sa lahat ay uminom sa bukal ng walang-hanggang pag-ibig. ¶ Nakapagtataka na kakaunti tayo kung manalangin!

9. The Promise of Prayer
Initial Words {115}
God is ready and willing to hear the sincere prayer of the humblest of His children,
and yet there is much manifest reluctance on our part to make known our wants to God. …
Ang Diyos ay handa at sabik na pakinggan ang tapat na panalangin ng pinakamababa sa Kanyang mga anak, ¶ at gayunman ay maraming hayag na pag-aatubili sa ating bahagi na ipaalam ang ating gusto sa Diyos.

10. Humans Unwilling to Pray
The Promise of Prayer
Initial Words {115}
God’s heart of infinite love yearns toward them, ready to give them more than they can ask or think,
and yet they pray so little and have so little faith?”—Steps to Christ 94
God Willing to Listen
Humans Unwilling to Pray
Ang Diyos na ang puso’y walang katapusang pag-ibig ay nananabik sa kanila, na handang ibigay sa kanila ang langit nang higit sa maaari nilang hingin o isipin, ¶ ngunit kakaunti kung sila’y manalangin at may napakaliit na pananampalataya? ¶ Handang Makinig ang Diyos // Di Handang Manalangin ang Tao.

1. Jesus and Prayer
The Praying Messiah {117}
Jesus, the spotless Son of God, the One who was without sin, without fault,
the One who lived in perfect harmony with the will of the Father,
obviously had a powerful prayer life.
Si Jesus, ang walang dungis na Anak ng Diyos, ang walang-kasalanan, walang kamalian, ¶ na nabuhay sa lubos na pagkakaisa sa kalooban ng Ama, // ay buong linaw na may makapangyarihang buhay panalangin.

15. 1. Jesus and Prayer
The Praying Messiah {117}
If Jesus needed to pray in order to deal with the things He faced, how much more do we?
Christ’s example of prayer makes it abundantly clear how central prayer needs to be in our walk with the Lord.
Kung si Jesus ay kinailangang manalangin para maharap ang mga hinaharap niya, gaano pa kaya tayong nangangailangan? ¶ Ang halimbawa ni Cristo sa pananalangin ay buong saganang linaw na ipinakikita kung gaano kailangang kasentro ang panalangin sa ating paglalakad na kasama ang Panginoon.

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that
He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
2. Kung Ano ang Pananalangin. At kung walang pananampalataya ay hindi maaaring kalugdan ng Diyos sapagkat ang sinumang lumalapit sa kanya ay dapat sumampalatayang may Diyos at siya ang ¶ tagabigay gantimpala sa mga masigasig na humahanap sa kanya.

18. As Christians we are told to pray and to pray often.
2. What Prayer Is
Power for Change {116}
As Christians we are told to pray and to pray often.
Anyone who prays consistently and fervently—and according to the will of God—can testify to is that prayer can, and does, change our lives.
Bilang mga Kristiyano, sinabihan tayong manalangin at manalanging madalas, ¶ Ang sinuman na mananalanging di pabagu-bago’t taimtim—at ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos—ay makapagpapatunay na ang panalangin ay makapagpapabago, at babaguhin nga ang ating mga buhay.

19. 2. What Prayer Is
Power for Change {116}
Prayer is a way of helping to empty self of self. It’s a way to die daily. It’s a way to reconnect with God on a very personal level.
a way to die daily
It’s a way to remind yourself that you are not your own, that you have been bought with a price, and that left to yourself you would crumble and die.
Ang panalangin ay isang paraan na matulungang alisin ang sarili sa sarili. Ito’y paraan nang araw-araw na pagkamatay. Ito’y paraan na makaugnay na muli sa Diyos sa isang personal na antas. ¶ Ito’y paraan na paalalahanan ang sarili na hindi ka sa iyo, na binili ka sa isang halaga, na maiwanan sa sarili, ikaw ay malalansag at mamamatay.

20. The Promise of Prayer
3. What Prayer Is Not
James 4:2b, 3 NKJV
“Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it in your pleasure.”
3. Kung ano ang Hindi Panalangin. Kayo’y wala sapagkat hindi kayo humihingi. Kayo’y humihingi at hindi tumatanggap sapagkat humihingi kayo sa masamang dahilan, upang gugulin ninyo ito sa mga kalayawan.

21. 3. What Prayer Is Not
Complying With Conditions {119}
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, NIV).
We see a powerful link between prayer and God’s action in our lives. If we don’t pray, don’t confess, we aren’t forgiven.
Sumusunod sa mga Kahilingan. Kung ipahahayag natin ang ating mga kasalanan, siya ay tapat at banal na magpapatawad sa ating mga kasalanan, at tayo’y lilinisin sa lahat ng ating kalikuan. ¶ Makikita natin ang isang makapangyarihang ugnayan sa pagitan ng panalangin at ang kilos ng Diyos sa ating buhay. Kapag di tayo nanalangin at di umamin ng kasalanan, ay di tayo patatawarin.

22. 3. What Prayer Is Not
Complying With Conditions {119}
Of all the conditions necessary for us to have an effective prayer life, the central one is our own sense of need, our own sense of helplessness,
our own sense that we are sinners in need of grace, and that our only hope exists in the Lord who has done so much for us.
sense of helplessness
Sa lahat ng mga kondisyong kailangan para magkaron tayo ng isang buhay na may epektibong panalangin, ang pinakasentro ay ang sarili nating pagkadama ng pangangailangan, kawalang-kakayahan, ¶ na tayo’y makasalanang nangangailangan ng biyaya, na ang pag-asa lang natin ay nasa Panginoon, na nakagawa ng marami para sa atin.

23. “Prayer is the breath of the soul.
Final Words
Gospel Workers 254, 255 {121}
“Prayer is the breath of the soul.
It is the secret of spiritual power.
No other means of grace can be substituted, and the health of the soul be preserved.
Prayer brings the heart into immediate contact with the Well-spring of life, and strengthens the sinew and muscle of the religious experience.”
Huling Pananalita. Ang panalangin ay hininga ng kaluluwa. // Ito ang sekreto ng kapangyarihang espirituwal. ¶ Walang ibang paraan ng biyaya ang maipapalit, at maiingatan ang kalusugan ng kaluluwa. ¶ Dadalhin ng panalangin ang puso sa kagyat na pakikipagkita sa Daluyan ng buhay, at palalakasin ang litid at laman ng relihiyosong karanasan.
