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 can do all things in him who strengthens me.
19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
6 And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
39 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.
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,2 will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
7 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
3 my enemies trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly.
4 When I am afraid, I put my trust in thee.
Fundamento de confiança
Deus não é homem para que minta. Todas as suas promessas são firmes. Confiar em Deus é segurança absoluta.
19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it?
5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you."
6 Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?"
13 Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus;
1 You then, 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 insight.6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
20 He who gives heed to the word will prosper, and happy is he who trusts in the LORD.
25 The fear of man lays a snare, but he who 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.
2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
23 And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."
27 But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
26 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?
33 I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.8 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."
2 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.
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
16 So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of 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.
18 The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings.
8 Make haste to answer me, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
3 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
3 For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
19 Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
25 Thou dost guide me with thy counsel, and afterward thou wilt receive me to glory.
4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
