Aniversário
O aniversário é momento de celebrar a vida que Deus nos deu. A Bíblia nos convida a agradecer por cada dia, contar nossos anos com sabedoria e alegrar-se na bondade do Senhor.
Agradecer pela vida
Este é o dia que o Senhor fez — alegremo-nos! Cada dia é presente de Deus, cada ano é prova da sua fidelidade.
The Lord made this day happen! We will celebrate and be happy for it!
Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
Let every part of me praise the Lord; don’t let me forget the wonderful things he’s done for me.
How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,
to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
My friend, I pray most of all that you’re doing well and are in good physical health, for I know you’re doing well spiritually.
A obra de Deus em nós
Tu me teceste no ventre de minha mãe — maravilhosas são as tuas obras! Cada vida é obra-prima do Criador.
You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother’s womb.
I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
My growing body was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together "in the depths of the earth."
You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.
God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can’t be counted!
You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother’s womb.
I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
My growing body was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together "in the depths of the earth."
You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.
I have depended on you since birth; you have taken care of me from my mother’s womb. That’s why I’m always praising you!
I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
However, you brought me safely through birth, and led me to trust in you at my mother’s breasts.
I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
I’m always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus.
Oração de bênção
O Senhor te abençoe e te guarde. Tu és toda formosa e em ti não há defeito. Deus cuida de cada detalhe da tua vida.
‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’
You are incredibly beautiful, my darling—you are absolutely flawless!
She’s clothed with strength and dignity, and she is happy about the future.
She speaks wise words, and she’s kind when she gives instructions.
Charm can deceive, and beauty fades, but a woman who honors the Lord should be praised.
Gray hair is a glorious crown; it’s achieved by living right.
When I think of you I’m so thankful to my God,
Sabedoria e alegria
Ensina-nos a contar os nossos dias. Deus encheu nosso cálice de alegria e o seu caminho mostra-se vida em plenitude.
Teach us to value every one of our days so we can live wisely!
Lord, remind me. How short is my life? How long do I have? Remind me how quickly my life will pass.
Just look at the tiny amount of days you have given me! In your eyes my whole lifetime is like nothing. Our lives here are just a breath… Selah.
You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord’s goodness and thinking about his Temple.
I’m absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
Praise the Lord—he is my rock. He trains me for battle, he gives me skill for war.
He is the one who faithfully loves me, protects me, and defends me. He is the one who rescues me, shields me from danger, and keeps me safe. He defeats nations and places them under my rule.
Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.
Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.
They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.
I, the Lord, take care of it, watering it often. I guard it night and day so that nobody can damage it.
Proteção e fidelidade
O Senhor pelejará por vós. Fiel é o Senhor que vos guarda — Ele te protege de todo mal o tempo todo.
For the Lord your God is going with you to fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you the victory."
But the Lord is trustworthy and will strengthen you, and protect you from the evil one.
But praise be to God, who always leads us in a triumphal procession in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet scent of his knowledge wherever we go!
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept my trust in God.
How fortunate you are, because you are convinced that the Lord will do what he has promised you!"
