爱人不可虚假、恶要厌恶、善要亲近。 爱弟兄、要彼此亲热．恭敬人、要彼此推让。 殷勤不可懒惰．要心里火热．常常服事主。 在指望中要喜乐．在患难中要忍耐。祷告要恒切． 圣徒缺乏要帮补．客要一味的款待。
English
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

罗马书 12 把真诚的爱、盼望、忍耐、祷告和接待连在一起。坚持不是一个人的硬撑，也可以在彼此帮助中成为持续的生活方式。 申请没有回应，我很难再次认真准备材料。在这个具体处境中，先看清已经发生的事，再分辨我能承担的部分。信仰的回应可以在一次诚实的表达与一个具体行动中慢慢展开。 今天可以这样练习：根据真实要求改进一项材料，再为下一次申请留出时间。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
Romans 12 connects sincere love, hope, patience, prayer, and hospitality. Perseverance need not mean solitary endurance; mutual care can sustain it as a way of life. An unanswered application makes another careful attempt difficult. Begin with what actually happened and distinguish your responsibilities. A faithful response can unfold through honest words and a concrete action. A practice for today: Improve one part against actual requirements and reserve time for another application. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.

回应祷告 · Prayer response
天父，申请没有回应，我很难再次认真准备材料。赐我勇气去做今天能做的事，也让我接纳自己的有限。 奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Father, An unanswered application makes another careful attempt difficult. Give me courage to do what I can today and grace to accept my limits. In Jesus' name, amen.
