1
Hey everyone, today we're talking about praying for your future spouse.
2
What's that about?
3
Should you do it?
4
Why or why not?
5
Hey, we're Jackie and Bobby Angel with Ascension Presents.
6
So, praying for your future spouse.
7
Well, St. Paul, I think he would say you should.
8
It says in Philippians, in chapter 4, verse 6, It says, have no anxiety about anything, but in everything, everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
9
let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
10
You know, some people are like, oh, praying for your future spouse is ridiculous or it makes me anxious or whatever.
11
Like I shouldn't be thinking about the future.
12
It's like, listen, if you're going to talk about this with anybody else, then you absolutely should be talking about it with God because prayer is just conversation with God.
13
So first of all, God is outside of time.
14
So if you are called to marriage, he knows who your future spouse is.
15
So of course, yes, pray for your future spouse.
16
But also if this gives you anxiety, thinking about the future, I think prayer is, again, you're communicating this with God, whatever is on your heart,
17
whether you are anxious about it, whether you are excited about it, whether you're feeling lonely, all of that should be given to God in prayer.
18
Everything.
19
And I would say too that just as we would pray for our health or our finances or our our job, you know, our future, we should also then give the other person
20
that we're going to be aligned with to God in prayer.
21
That they're being formed, that they're being a whole person, that they're being blessed in whatever they're going through,
22
wherever they are, whenever we will get to be with them and unite.
23
You know, there's no church document on soulmates.
24
Like, we don't subscribe to, like, the uber romantic Hollywood idea of a soulmate, but nor is it just a cold detachment either.
25
God is guiding all things.
26
God has his providential hand in our lives, you know, in the mystery of how that aligns with our free will, that we are deciding our lives here.
27
But God absolutely has a hand and cares who we marry, who we end up with, because that's going to affect generations upon generations.
28
Part of prayer is a detachment.
29
It's really saying, God, I trust you.
30
I trust you with my future.
31
I trust you in your plans.
32
It's a detachment.
33
It's learning how to be detached from the world.
34
We have these desires, which are good.
35
A lot of people desire marriage and family to have kids and that's beautiful, but you know what?
36
We're not guaranteed any of those.
37
You guys, we're not even guaranteed tomorrow.
38
Everything in prayer, it should be, we offer to God and we say, God, I'm all yours.
39
I belong to you and I want what you want.
40
Even that modern obsession we have with romance and marriage and we turn it into an idol, like that's going to satisfy the aches of our hearts.
41
That's going to, I ride off into the sunset on my wedding day and then it's eternal bliss.
42
It's like, no. But I mean, yes, of course, with you, honey.
43
Yes, always, of course.
44
It's really a call again, Jesus, I trust in you, I place this in your hands.
45
Help me not to make this marriage into an idol.
46
Help me not to make this other person into an idol.
47
I'll be happy when this happens.
48
Like, God wants us to live in the here and now, whatever may come, if we're blessed with a long life or we're not.
49
So that could be journaling for them, that could be doing a rosary for them daily, that could be just, again, quiet prayer.
50
If this is an exercise you're brushing aside, like, oh, this is dumb, this is stupid.
51
What's going on there?
52
Is it that I don't really trust in God, that God cares enough?
53
So I don't really think he cares about my happiness or the well-being of my life?
54
Or maybe you don't think God wants you to be happier at all.
55
Yeah, maybe that's going on.
56
Maybe, you know, for my own experience, it could be like you're too attached to your lust.
57
I'm too attached to the way I'm living because to give that up to God, to give my romantic life to God would mean I have to surrender it.
58
And if that's something that I'm, no, no, that's mine.
59
Like, I'll give you some other things, God, but not this thing over here.
60
It could be a sign of, the flippancy could be a sign of, well, I don't want God to take over this part, which is really like, this is where he needs to come in
61
and clean house and rearrange some stuff in my life right now.
62
Both of us, before we got married, we both knew that God was the one, like God was the one who satisfied every part of our hearts.
63
We weren't looking for each other to do that.
64
We both are in love with each other and love each other, but our whole goal in our marriage is to get each
65
other to heaven to get each other closer to god really that's that's the goal of our marriage
66
and so we are not god we don't idolize each other um he is my best friend
67
but at the same time it's like we both know
68
that god is the one who's going to satisfy our hearts
69
and that when you pray again draw near to it says i think it's james draw near to god
70
and he will draw near to you i'm just going to leave you again with a scripture verse
71
if you have struggles with you know the future
72
and discernment write this down philippians chapter 4 verse 6 to 7 have no anxiety about anything
73
but in everything by prayer
74
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to god
75
and the peace of god which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
76
That's the goal.
77
The goal of prayer for anything is to keep your heart
78
and mind in Christ Jesus and to really say with your future, your vocation, Jesus, I trust in you.
79
Whatever you were calling me to do, whatever it is, if it's for a spouse and family, if it's to give myself fully to you, Jesus, I trust in you.
80
Thanks for watching.
81

이 클립, 영어 회화 연습에 왜 좋을까요?

이 비디오는 일상적인 대화체로 이루어져 있어 영어 쉐도잉에 최적입니다. 자연스러운 말투와 다양한 어휘, 그리고 감정이 담긴 발화가 특징인데요, 특히 "prayer is just conversation with God"처럼 단순하지만 의미 깊은 표현들이 많아 실제 회화에서 활용하기 쉽습니다. 또한, 긴 문장도 있지만 구두점을 기준으로 쉽게 쪼갤 수 있어 발음과 리듬을 연습하기 좋습니다. 영어 발음 교정에 도움되는 강조 부분이나 억양 변화도 많아, 듣고 따라하기만 해도 실력이 눈에 띄게 향상될 거예요!

자연스러운 표현, 깊게 살펴보기

  • "have no anxiety about anything, but in everything, everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" : "have no anxiety about anything"은 "아무것에 대해서도 불안해하지 마"라는 뜻으로, "about anything" 대신 "over anything"도 사용되지만 여기서는 자연스러운 흐름을 위해 "about"을 썼습니다. "let your requests be made known to God"는 "하나님께 당신의 요청을 알리게 하라"로, 수동태를 사용해 존중감을 표현하면서도 간결합니다.
  • "prayer is just conversation with God" : "just"가 강조되어 "기도는 단지 하나님과의 대화일 뿐"이라는 의미를 더욱 분명히 합니다. 일상 회화에서 "just"를 사용하면 말을 부드럽게 하거나 강조할 수 있어, 이 표현은 매우 유용합니다.
  • "God is outside of time" : "outside of time"은 "시간 밖에 있다"는 뜻으로, 추상적인 개념을 쉽게 표현하는 방법입니다. 이와 비슷하게 "outside of space"도 사용할 수 있어, 다양한 상황에서 활용할 수 있습니다.

쉽고 효과적인 연습 루틴

영어 쉐도잉을 하기 위해선 다음과 같은 단계를 따라해 보세요. 먼저 비디오를 10초~20초씩 끊어서 듣고, 즉시 따라하는 것을 반복하세요. 이때 "shadowspeaks"처럼 말하는 속도와 억양, 강조 부분을 최대한 흉내내야 합니다. 그리고 자신이 따라한 것을 녹음해 원본과 비교해 보세요. 발음이 틀린 부분이나 리듬이 맞지 않는 부분을 찾아 수정하고, 다시 연습합니다. 하루에 10분씩만 해도 2주 후에는 분명한 차이를 느낄 수 있을 거예요. 또한, shadowing site를 이용해 더 다양한 자료를 접해보면 좋습니다. 꾸준히 연습하다 보면 영어 회화 실력이 크게 향상될 거예요! 화이팅!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
