Excerpt: How does this word ‘Father’ help a man to call on God by Prayer?
摘录： “父”这个词如何帮助一个人借着祷告呼求上帝？
When we conceive of God as a Father, it puts us in mind of his mercy, that he will pity us as a Father.
当我们把上帝视为一位父时，它提醒我们祂的怜悯，祂会像一位父一样怜恤我们。
A man will be reconciled unto his son easily, and will spare his son, though he be a prodigal; yet a father will pass by and cover all.
一个人会很容易与他的儿子和解，并且会饶恕他的儿子，即使他是一个浪子；一位父亲仍会宽容并遮盖一切。
So I pray to a Father; did I pray to a Judge that will condemn me, or an enemy that would not be reconciled to me, little hope I had to speed because I have wronged him?
所以我向一位父祷告；如果我向一位会定我罪的审判官，或一位不愿与我和解的仇敌祷告，我成功的希望就很小，因为我得罪了祂？
Yet I will arise and go to my Father, and say, “Father, I have sinned.”
然而，我要起来，到我父那里去，说：“父啊，我犯了罪。”
Psa 103.13. As a father pities his son, so God pities them that fear him.
诗篇 103篇13节。父亲怎样怜恤他的儿女，上帝也怎样怜恤敬畏祂的人。
He is my child, says God, though stubborn, and I must look to him.
上帝说，祂是我的孩子，虽然顽固，但我必须照顾祂。
When a man’s rebellions witness against him, and Satan vexes him, and says, “What, do you think to have mercy, and are so vile?”
当一个人的悖逆作证反对他，而撒但（Satan）搅扰他，说：“什么，你竟如此卑劣，还指望得到怜悯？”时。
True, says the soul, I am nothing, but I go to a father.
灵魂说，是的，我一无是处，但我去向一位父。
If a child but aims at a thing, the father accepts him.
如果一个孩子只是瞄准了一件事，父亲就会接纳他。
If he speaks but half a sentence, the father interprets it.
如果他只说了半句话，父亲也会解释它的意思。
So this is the great encouragement of the faithful to go to God, that notwithstanding so many failings, and though so dead and so barren, yet a father bears all.
所以，这是信徒们（the faithful）到上帝面前的巨大鼓励，尽管有如此多的失败，尽管如此死气沉沉、如此贫乏，然而一位父亲却承担了一切。
The Lord interprets all, though but broken speeches, he accepts all, and regards all.
主解释所有，即使只是破碎的言语，祂也接纳一切，顾念一切。
We have a Father to go to, that is willing to pass by many failings.
我们有一位父可以去到祂那里，祂愿意宽容许多过失。
