Ânimo
O ânimo vem de Deus. Ele nos fortalece, nos encoraja e renova nossas forças. Quando o desânimo chega, as promessas de Deus nos levantam e nos impulsionam a seguir em frente.
The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
The Lord saves those who live right; he is their protection in times of trouble.
On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.
I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
I'm absolutely sure that God who began this good work in you will continue working and bring it to a successful conclusion when Jesus Christ returns.
God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
I know what I intend to do for you, declares the Lord. I plan good things for you and not bad. I'm going to give you a future and a hope.
The people responded, "We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods! For the Lord our God brought us and our forefathers out of slavery in Egypt. He was the one who did great miracles before our very eyes. He looked after us on the way as we traveled through the lands of many nations.
So be glad about this, even though you may be sad for a short while as you endure various trials.
I really want to visit you and share with you a spiritual blessing to strengthen you. In this way we can be encouraged together by each others' trust in God, both your trust and mine.
So we don't give up. Even though our physical bodies are falling apart, our inner selves are being renewed daily.
So encourage and strengthen one another, just as you are doing.
This news really encouraged us while we were suffering troubles ourselves, brothers and sisters, knowing that you continue to hold on to your trust in God.
