Esperar em Deus
Esperar em Deus não é passividade — é confiança ativa no Senhor que age no tempo perfeito. Os que esperam nele não serão confundidos nem envergonhados.
Esperança em Deus
Descanse somente em Deus, ó minha alma, pois dele vem a minha esperança. Ele é rocha e salvação — não serei abalado.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee.
Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord and he will deliver thee.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain. Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting.
But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
