Confiança
A confiança em Deus é âncora da alma em tempos de tempestade. Quem confia no Senhor não será abalado — porque o Deus fiel sustenta, protege e guia os que nele esperam.
Confiança inabalável
Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece. O meu Deus suprirá toda necessidade. Quem confia não será confundido.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
Fundamento de confiança
Deus não é homem para que minta. Todas as suas promessas são firmes. Confiar em Deus é segurança absoluta.
God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
So we can confidently say,
"The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?"
Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
Whoever gives thought to the wordwill discover good,
and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
The fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
Confiar em todas as coisas
Não pertenço ao mundo — minha cidadania é do céu. A confiança cristã repousa na fidelidade de Deus, não nas circunstâncias.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
And Jesus said to him, "‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes."
But he said, "What is impossible with man is possible with God."
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit."
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Esperar com confiança
O Senhor está perto de todos os que o invocam. Na espera confiante encontramos descanso e direção divina.
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of the children of mankind!
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
