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 have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
And with all his abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs.
And so I am sure that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the Day of Christ Jesus.
In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us?
neither the world above nor the world below—there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Whoever goes to the Lord for safety,
whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,
can say to him,
"You are my defender and protector.
You are my God; in you I trust."
My salvation and honor depend on God;
he is my strong protector;
he is my shelter.
When I am afraid, O Lord Almighty,
I put my trust in you.
I trust in God and am not afraid;
I praise him for what he has promised.
What can a mere human being 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 like people, who lie;
He is not a human who changes his mind.
Whatever he promises, he does;
He speaks, and it is done.
Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you."
Let us be bold, then, and say,
"The Lord is my helper,
I will not be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?"
Hold firmly to the true words that I taught you, as the example for you to follow, and remain in the faith and love that are ours in union with Christ Jesus.
As for you, my son, be strong through the grace that is ours in union with Christ Jesus.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.

Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.
Pay attention to what you are taught, and you will be successful; trust in the Lord and you will be happy.
It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are 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.
Keep your minds fixed on things there, not on things here on earth.
"Yes," said Jesus, "if you yourself can! Everything is possible for the person who has faith."
Jesus answered, "What is humanly impossible is possible for God."
Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than birds?
I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!"
"But I will bless the person
who puts his trust in me.
He is like a tree growing near a stream
and sending out roots to the water.
It is not afraid when hot weather comes,
because its leaves stay green;
it has no worries when there is no rain;
it keeps on bearing fruit.
When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you;
your troubles will not overwhelm you.
When you pass through fire, you will not be burned;
the hard trials that come will not hurt you.
We have courage in God’s presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will.
We have courage in God’s presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will.
And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us.
God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them.
My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere.
Esperar com confiança
O Senhor está perto de todos os que o invocam. Na espera confiante encontramos descanso e direção divina.
He is near to those who call to him,
who call to him with sincerity.
Remind me each morning of your constant love,
for I put my trust in you.
My prayers go up to you;
show me the way I should go.
He will not let you fall;
your protector is always awake.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
live in the land and be safe.
How wonderful are the good things
you keep for those who honor you!
Everyone knows how good you are,
how securely you protect those who trust you.
What else do I have in heaven but you?
Since I have you, what else could I want on earth?
Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind.
For our life is a matter of faith, not of sight.
