Fehu‘i #39
Ko e hā ‘a e loto
‘oku totonu ke fai‘aki ‘etau lotú ?

‘Otuá, ‘i he ‘ilopau, koe‘uhí ko
Kalaisi, ‘oku ne ongona ma‘u pe ‘etau lotú.
With what attitude should we pray?
With love,
perseverance, and gratefulness, in humble submission to God's will, knowing
that, for the sake of Christ, he always hears our prayers.
FILIPAI
4:6
Neongo pe ko e hā
‘a e me‘a, ‘oua te mou lotomo‘ua ai; ka ‘i he me‘a kotoa pē tuku ke hā ki he
‘Otua ho‘omou ngaahi kole, ‘i he lotu mo e hūfia, pea fai mo e fakafeta‘i.
PHILIPPIANS
4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God.
Commentary - JOHN BUNYAN
Before
you enter into prayer, ask thy soul these questions: To what end,
O my soul, art thou retired into this place? Art thou not come to
discourse the Lord in prayer? ls he present; will he hear thee? Is he merciful;
will he help thee? Is thy business slight; is it not concerning the welfare of
thy soul? What words wilt thou use to move him to Compassion?
Kimu‘a
pea ke fai ho‘o lotu, fai ‘a e fehu‘i ko eni ki ho laumālie: Ko e hā e ‘uhinga ‘oku
ke ha‘u ai ki he potu ni, ‘e hoku laumālie? ‘Ikai ko ho‘o ha‘u ke ke talanoa mo
e ‘Otuá ‘i he lotu? ‘Oku ne ‘i heni; te
ne ongona koe? ‘Oku ne faimanava‘ofa; te ne tokonia koe? ‘Oku ke mafasia; ‘Ikai
te ne poupou ‘a e lelei ho laumālie? Ko e hā ‘a e lea te ke ngaue‘aki ke ue‘i ‘a
hono finangaló ke fai manava‘ofa kiate
koe?
