信靠上帝

当KK 8岁时，她得知母亲患了癌症。

小女孩不知道该做什么。妈妈难受时，她渴望帮助。她与泰国基督复临安息日会学校的林恩老师交谈。林恩老师给了KK一个充满同情的拥抱。

“祈祷并相信上帝，”她轻声说。

KK来自一个非基督化家庭，她从未祈祷过。

林恩老师教KK祷告。

“你与上帝交谈的方式，就像你与父亲，母亲或朋友交谈一样。”她说。

她建议KK跟着她祷告。

“亲爱的上帝，”她说。

“亲爱的上帝，”KK重复道。

“谢谢你给了我一位伟大又慈爱的母亲，”她说。

“谢谢你给了我一位伟大又慈爱的母亲，”KK重复道。

“现在妈妈病了。请帮帮她，”她说。

“现在妈妈病了。请帮帮她，”KK重复道。

“阿门”

“阿门”

林恩老师还向KK展示了如何阅读《圣经》。

四个月来，KK每天都和林恩老师一起祈祷。每当她感到悲伤并想祷告时，两人一同跪下来祈祷。有时，KK的全班同学都会为她的母亲和她祷告。

母亲听说KK和学校里的人都在为她祈祷。她什么也没说，但KK可以看出，她很高兴学校里的每个人都爱她。

孩子们不仅仅是祈祷。他们用彩色纸做了贺卡，送给KK和她的母亲。KK最喜欢的卡片上写着，“开心起来！”

妈妈越来越虚弱，但KK拒绝怀疑上帝。她知道上帝对她和母亲都有一个特别的计划。

“如果上帝的计划是让母亲离开，让我生活在没有她的环境中，我也必须相信祂，”她对同学们说。

后来母亲离开了。KK哭了。她不明白上帝为什么允许母亲离开，但她相信祂。

今天，KK依旧每日晨起晚睡做祈祷。她白天在学校祷告。她“不停地”祷告，正如《圣经》在帖撒罗尼迦前书5章17节所教导的。

“上帝真的知道什么对我最好，祂也知道我的未来会发生什么，”KK说。“我信任祂。”

Trusting in God

When KK was 8, she learned that her mother was ill with cancer.

The little girl didn’t know what to do. As Mother suffered, she longed to help. She spoke with Teacher Lynn at the Seventh-day Adventist school where she studied in Thailand. Teacher Lynn gave KK a big, sympathetic hug.

“Pray and trust in God,” she said, softly.

KK came from a family that was not Christian, and she had never prayed.

Teacher Lynn taught KK to pray.

“You talk to God in the same way that you would talk to your father or to your mother or to a friend,” she said.

She suggested that KK repeat a prayer after her.

“Dear God,” she said.

“Dear God,” KK repeated.

“Thank You for giving me a wonderful and loving Mother,” she said.

“Thank You for giving me a wonderful and loving Mother,” KK repeated.

“Now Mother is sick. Please help her,” she said.

“Now Mother is sick. Please help her,” KK repeated.

“Amen.”

“Amen.”

Teacher Lynn also showed KK how to read the Bible.

KK prayed with Teacher Lynn every day for four months. Whenever she felt sad and wanted to pray, the two knelt down and prayed. Sometimes KK’s whole class prayed for her mother and her.

Mother heard that KK and people at school were praying for her. She didn’t say anything, but KK could see that she was happy that everyone at school loved her.

The children did more than pray. They made greeting cards out of colorful paper and gave them to KK and her mother. KK’s favorite card read, “Cheer up!”

Mother grew weaker, but KK refused to doubt in God. She knew that God had a special plan for both her and Mother.

“If it is God’s plan for Mother to go away and for me to live without her, I have to believe and trust in Him,” she told her classmates.

Then Mother died. KK cried. She did not understand why God had allowed Mother to die, but she trusted Him.

Today, KK prays when she wakes up and before she goes to bed. She prays during the day at school. She prays “without ceasing,” as the Bible teaches in 1 Thes 5:17.

 “God really knows what’s best for me, and He knows what will happen in my future,” KK says. “I trust Him.”
