Andy Stanley 是 North Point Ministries 的創辦人與主任牧師，也是二十多本領導力書籍的作者。我自己在領導力這件事上，很早期就受他所屬的圈子影響很深——所以在這個題目上，我們的方向是並排的。Andy Stanley is the founder and senior pastor of North Point Ministries, and the author of more than twenty leadership books. I myself was shaped early on by the circle he belongs to — so on this subject, our lines run alongside each other.
這四篇道講的都是禱告，順序不一樣：放手、饒恕、跟隨、看見。These four talks are all about prayer, in a different order each time: let go, forgive, follow, see.
放手 Let go
Part 1 · 2021-03-08 · 為什麼要禱告 Why Should We Pray
「禱告不是要移動神，而是被神移動。」"Prayer is not about moving God, but being moved by God."

他說，你以為禱告是把你要的事情講給神聽。他說不是這樣——天父已經知道你需要什麼，禱告不是說服神，是把自己交出來。真正難的不是想出要講什麼，是願不願意說「祢的旨意成就，不是我的」。找到你不願意講這句話的地方，那個地方就是他說神要動工的地方。He says you think prayer is telling God what you need. He says it isn't — your Father already knows what you need; prayer isn't persuading God, it's surrendering. The hard part isn't finding the right words, it's being willing to say "your will, not mine." Find the place where you can't say that yet — he says that's where God wants to work.
這讓我們問自己：連願不願意交出主導權，都要一次一次去找——這不是失格，是還在練習。「祢的旨意成就」，講的其實是一個人開始能承擔、能等待、能選擇，不只對人，對神也一樣。That leaves us asking ourselves: even the willingness to surrender control has to be found again and again — that's not disqualifying, it's still in practice. "Your will be done" is really about a person becoming able to carry, wait, and choose — not only toward people, but toward God too.
饒恕 Forgive
Part 2 · 2021-03-15 · 賜下 Give Us
「拒絕饒恕，就是拒絕跟隨。」"To refuse to forgive is to refuse to follow."

他說，禱告有三塊：每天承認一切都是神給的，連下一口飯都是；求神赦免的同時，先赦免傷過你的人，不肯放過別人，禱告就卡住；求神保守你不掉進試探。整篇的重心只有一個字：放手。講饒恕的時候，他先承認「我知道你有一百個理由不原諒」，再邀請你往前走——先承認，再邀請，不是先定罪。He says the prayer has three parts: daily naming that everything comes from God; asking God's forgiveness while first forgiving the person who hurt you, because refusing to forgive stalls the prayer; and asking to be kept out of temptation. The whole talk turns on one word: letting go. When he addresses unforgiveness, he first admits "you have a hundred reasons not to forgive," then invites you forward — naming before inviting, not before condemning.
這讓我們往下多看一層：饒不饒得下去，常常卡在一個更早的功課還沒學會——原來我不喜歡的人，不一定是壞人；原來我可以跟一個讓我受傷的人，同時存在於同一個世界裡，不需要把他從我的世界剷除。Looking one layer further down: whether we can forgive often gets stuck on an earlier lesson not yet learned — that someone we dislike isn't necessarily a bad person, and that someone who hurt us can exist in the same world as us without needing to be erased from it.
跟隨 Follow
Part 3 · 2021-03-22 · 不叫我們陷入試探 Lead Us Not Into Temptation
「我是為誰而活？問這句，世界會為你打開。」"Who am I here for? Ask that question, and the world opens up to you."

他說，試探會找上門，不是因為它突然出現，而是因為我們早就說服自己「沒那麼危險」。真正能保護我們的不是意志力，是先問對問題——不是「我為什麼在這裡」，是「我是為誰在這裡」。他說，連耶穌最親近的跟隨者也「勉強做到」降服——掙扎是常態，不是失格，每個人用自己的節奏走，但走的是同一條路。He says temptation doesn't ambush us — it finds an opening because we've already told ourselves "it's not that dangerous." What actually protects us isn't willpower — it's asking the right question first: not "why am I here" but "who am I here for." He says even Jesus' closest followers "barely got there" in surrender — the struggle is normal, not disqualifying, everyone walks at their own pace on the same road.
看見 See
Part 4 · 2021-03-29 · 讓我看見 Help Me See
「主啊，我想看見。」"Lord, I want to see."

他說，我們常常以為自己已經看懂神了。可是連跟著耶穌三年的門徒也看不清——你的過去、你的個性、你的偏見，這三樣會擋住你看見真相。想看見，先要願意承認自己現在看到的可能是錯的。巴底買只求一件事：「主啊，我想看見。」他一開口，耶穌就停下來。He says we often assume we already understand God correctly. But even the disciples who walked with Jesus for three years couldn't see clearly — your past, your personality, your prejudice, all three block what you can see. To really see, you first have to admit that what you currently see might be wrong. Bartimaeus asked for only one thing: "Lord, I want to see." The moment he cried out, Jesus stopped.
他講自己過去用個人的義去評斷不像自己的人，後來改用「會幕」（會移動、需要維護）取代「聖殿」（石頭、不變）——沒有人已經到站，大家都還在移動中。He describes his past self as judging others by his own righteousness, then trading "temple" (fixed stone) for "tabernacle" (moves, needs upkeep) — no one has arrived, everyone is still in motion.
他從個人的深處說起，我們常從一群人怎麼一起活出來說起 He often begins with the individual; we often begin with how a group lives it
四篇道其實只講一件事，順序不一樣而已。他常問「你是為誰而活」，答案是主——這句我們完全認同，也想在底下再補一層：「為主而活」不是先努力做出來的，是生命先與主連結，再透過內在的秩序與更大的秩序彼此對齊之後，自然長出來的果子。少了這一層，忙碌會不知不覺變成一個人自己在做主，連事工也以他為中心。The four talks say one thing, in a different order each time. He often asks "who are you living for," and answers "the Lord" — we fully agree, and want to add a layer underneath it: living for the Lord isn't something forced into being by effort — it's the fruit that grows out of life first connecting with the Lord, then coming into alignment with what's larger than us. Without that layer, busyness can quietly turn into a person becoming their own lord, with the ministry itself centered on them.
他沒有用「位階一樣，位置不一樣」這句話，但他說「會幕會移動，聖殿不會」的時候，講的是同一件事。我們並肩走、沒有誰帶誰的走法，不是他發明的一套術語，是我們自己在領導力這條路上走出來的樣子——只是走著走著，發現方向是並排的。He never said "same rank, different position," but when he said "tabernacles move, temples don't," he was pointing at the same thing. Our side-by-side way of walking, with no one leading the other, is not a term he invented — it is the shape we walked out on our own path. We just found, along the way, that our direction runs alongside his.
今天，可以找出一個「我還不願意講『祢的旨意成就』」的地方——不用解決它，先誠實承認它在那裡。Find one place today where you still can't say "your will be done" — you don't have to resolve it, just honestly admit it's there.
這篇不是逐字翻譯，是我們的蒸餾——先讀過原文，再用自己的話重新說一次，附上出處，也誠實標出哪裡是我們自己接上去的、哪裡他沒講到。This is not a word-for-word translation. It is our distillation — read first in the original, then said again in our own words, with sources, and an honest flag for where we've built on top of what he said versus where he didn't go there himself.
📖 經文 Scripture
「你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。」（馬太福音 7:7）
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)
透過耶穌這道路，走回與天父重建的依戀關係，是我們所知所行一切的根基。This path through Jesus — to rebuild our attachment with the Heavenly Father — is the foundation beneath everything we know and do.
