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.
13 I am strong for everything in Him who gives me strength.
19 All your own needs my God will fully supply, according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.
6 Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.
31 What shall we say then, to these things? If God be for us, Who can be against us?
39 Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Fundamento de confiança
Deus não é homem para que minta. Todas as suas promessas são firmes. Confiar em Deus é segurança absoluta.
5 Let your life be untainted by love of money; be content with such things as you have; for God himself has said, I will never leave thee; I will never forsake thee.
6 So that we can say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
13 Hold fast the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Do you then, my son, strengthen you heart in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
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.
2 Set your heart on things above, not on earthly things;
23 Jesus said to him. "If you can!All things can be for one who believes."
27 "Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "are possible with God."
26 "Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they?
33 "I have said all this to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous; I have overcome the world."
14 Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.
14 Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.
16 And we do know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love; and he who is abiding in love is abiding in God, and God is abiding in him.
1 Do not believe every spirit, beloved, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets are 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.
4 But let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, not lacking in anything.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed.
7 for I am walking by faith, not by sight.
