Dependência
A dependência de Deus é o caminho da verdadeira liberdade. Sem Cristo, nada podemos fazer. Mas em Deus encontramos sustento, direção e força para todo desafio.
Sem Ele nada podemos
Sem mim nada podeis fazer. O cristão que se desconecta da videira seca — mas o que permanece dá muito fruto.
I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I stay joined to you, then you will produce lots of fruit. But you cannot do anything without me.
Protect me, Lord God!
I run to you for safety,
I will always look to you,
as you stand beside me
and protect me from fear.
Without the help of the Lord
it is useless to build a home
or to guard a city.
Their strength and weapons
were not what won the land
and gave them victory!
You loved them and fought
with your powerful arm
and your shining glory.
The Lord will fight for you, and you won’t have to do a thing."
Depender do Senhor
Confia no Senhor de todo o coração e não te estribes no teu próprio entendimento. Em todos os caminhos o reconhece.
With all your heart
you must trust the Lord
and not your own judgment.
Always let him lead you,
and he will clear the road
for you to follow.
We make our own plans,
but the Lord decides
where we will go.
We may make a lot of plans,
but the Lord will do
what he has decided.
When the Lord blesses you
with riches,
you have nothing to regret.
My body and mind may fail,
but you are my strength
and my choice forever.
Lord God All-Powerful,
make us strong again!
Smile on us and save us.
I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?
It will come from the Lord,
who created heaven and earth.
The Lord is your protector,
and he won’t go to sleep
or let you stumble.
When I felt my feet slipping,
you came with your love
and kept me steady.
When I was really hurting,
I prayed to the Lord.
He answered my prayer,
and took my worries away.
You, Lord, are my shepherd.
I will never be in need.
You let me rest in fields
of green grass.
You lead me to streams
of peaceful water,
Contentamento e confiança
Aprendi a viver contente em toda situação. A dependência de Deus nos livra da ansiedade e nos firma na paz.
I am not complaining about having too little. I have learned to be satisfied with whatever I have.
I am the Lord your God.
I am holding your hand,
so don’t be afraid.
I am here to help you.
The Lord gives strength
to those who are weary.
Be friendly with everyone. Don’t be proud and feel that you know more than others. Make friends with ordinary people.
A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use. That’s how it is with us. There are many of us, but we each are part of the body of Christ, as well as part of one another.
If we follow our desires, we cannot please God.
Don’t worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.
But why should we be happy that we have given you these gifts? They belong to you, and we have only given back what is already yours.
