"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."(Phil.3:13.)

Oh Lord! Let me forget my past overcoming and past defeat, my past glory and past humiliation¹, my past achievement and past failure. I beseech² You to let me forget my past experiences , forget the past ten years, the past years, the past month, yesterday, the past hour.

Oh Lord, I beseech you, let me forget! I beseech you to let me be like a new-born baby looking to You without anything else to lean on. Let me strain toward what is ahead, let me run straight onward³ on the path which You have prepared for me, to be devoted⁴ to the work which You have assigned to me. Let me be obedient to Your purpose which You have planned for me. But I beseech You let not the worry of tomorrow touch me. I want “To see, today, the salvation⁵ You have accomplished⁶ for me,”

Oh Lord, fulfill⁷ my desire! Amen!-Philip Zhang.

「忘记背后，努力面前。」（腓三:13）

　　主啊！求你叫我忘记我过去的得胜和过去的失败；过去的荣耀和过去的羞辱；过去的得意和过去的失意。求你叫我忘记我过去的经历；忘记十年前的，去年的，上个月的；忘记昨天的，上一个钟点的。

　　主啊！求你使我忘记！求你使我做一个才生的婴孩那样无依无靠的仰望你！求你使我努力面前的；使我在你为我所预备的道路上直跑；在你为我所计划的工作上忠心；在你为我所规定的旨意上顺服。虽然如此，但求你不要让明天的忧虑来摸着我。我要「看你今天向我所要施行的救恩」。

　　主啊！我相信今天的头发掉落一根，你在天上的簿子上必为我划出一根。但愿我天天的生活和工作，都和你天上的簿子相符！

　　主啊！成全我的心愿！阿们！ ── 愚
