Confiança

13 I am able to do all things through him  * who strengthens me.  *

19 And my God  * will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

6 I am sure of this, that he who started a good work  * in you  * will carry it on to completion  * until the day of Christ Jesus.

The Believer’s Triumph

31 What, then, are we to say about these things?  * If God is for us, who is against us?  *

39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God  * that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  *

The Protection of the Most High

1 The one who lives under the protection of the Most High

dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.  *

2 I will say  * concerning the  Lord, who is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust:  *

7 My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock.

My refuge is in God.  *

3 When I am afraid,

I will trust in you.  *

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I will not be afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?  *

19 God is not a man, that he might lie,

or a son of man, that he might change his mind.  *

Does he speak and not act,

or promise and not fulfill?  *

5 Keep your life free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for he himself has said, I will never leave you or abandon you.*,*

6 Therefore, we may boldly say,

The Lord is my helper;

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?*,*

Be Loyal to the Faith

13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching  * that you have heard from me,  * in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Be Strong in Grace

1 You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace  * that is in Christ Jesus.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  *

and do not rely on your own understanding;  *

6 in all your ways know him,

and he will make your paths straight.  *

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  *

and do not rely on your own understanding;  *

6 in all your ways know him,

and he will make your paths straight.  *

3 Commit your activities to the  Lord,

and your plans will be established.  *

20 The one who understands a matter finds success,  *

and the one who trusts in the  Lord will be happy.  *

25 The fear of mankind is a snare,  *

but the one who trusts in the  Lord is protected.  *,*

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  *

23 Jesus said to him, " ‘If you can’?*Everything is possible*for the one who believes."*

27 He replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God."*

26 Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?*

33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world."

7 The person who trusts in the  Lord,

whose confidence indeed is the  Lord, is blessed.  *

8 He will be like a tree planted by water:  *

it sends its roots out toward a stream,

it doesn’t fear when heat comes,

and its foliage remains green.

It will not worry in a year of drought

or cease producing fruit.

2 When you pass through the waters,  *

I will be with you,  *

and the rivers will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through the fire,  *

you will not be scorched,

and the flame will not burn you.

Effective Prayer

14 This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask  * anything according to his will, he hears us.  *

Effective Prayer

14 This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask  * anything according to his will, he hears us.  *

16 And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error

1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits  * to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

18 The Lord is near all who call out to him,

all who call out to him with integrity.  *

8 Let me experience

your faithful love in the morning,

for I trust in you.  *

Reveal to me the way I should go

because I appeal to you.  *

3 He will not allow your foot to slip;

your Protector will not slumber.  *

3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good;  *

dwell in the land and live securely.  *,*

19 How great is your goodness,

which you have stored up for those who fear you.

In the presence of everyone  * you have acted

for those who take refuge in you.  *

25 Who do I have in heaven but you?

And I desire nothing on earth but you.  *

4 And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

6 But let him ask in faith without doubting.  * For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For we walk by faith,  * not by sight.  *
