「那從曠野上來，靠著她良人的是誰呢？」－雅歌8:5
在那場聚集裡，一個黑人弟兄站起身來禱告。和你我一樣，他向神求了諸般的祝福；和你我一樣，他為著已得的祝福向神發出感謝。唯一不同的是，在禱告的尾聲，他加上了一段不尋常的祈求：
「並且，主啊，撐住我們！在我們所憑倚的每一個晃動傾斜的牆邊，撐住我們！」
你四圍的「牆」都不偏不倚穩立著嗎？
藉著這位謙卑之人的禱告，我們在全新的光中，見到了自身的軟弱與傾頹，也見到了我們這位全能者的支撐扶助。
主總是和我們同行，隨時預備好伸出祂那托住萬有的膀臂，撐住軟弱之人每一面晃動傾斜的牆。
"Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?" (Song of Sol. 8:5).Some one gained a good lesson from a Southern prayer meeting. A brother asked the Lord for various blessings--as you and I do, and thanked the Lord for many already received--as you and I do; but he closed with this unusual petition: "And, O Lord, support us! Yes support us Lord on every leanin' side!" Have you any leaning sides? This humble man's prayer pictures them in a new way and shows the Great Supporter in a new light also. He is always walking by the Christian, ready to extend His mighty arm and steady the weak one on "every leanin' side."
