Oração
A oração é o fôlego da vida cristã. É conversa íntima com Deus, pedido de socorro, ação de graças e intercessão. Jesus ensinou seus discípulos a orar e praticou a oração constantemente.
O convite a orar
Jesus disse: pedi e recebereis, buscai e achareis, batei e abrir-se-vos-á. Deus convida seus filhos a orar com fé e persistência.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.8 For every one who asketh receiveth, and he who seeketh findeth; and to him who knocketh it is opened.
11 If, therefore, you who are evil know to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
22 And whatsoever you shall ask in prayer and shall believe, you shall obtain.
22 And whatsoever you shall ask in prayer and shall believe, you shall obtain.
9 I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.10 For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him.
1 AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.2 There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.3 But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.4 And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,5 yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.6 And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.7 But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards them?8 I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?
24 On this account I tell you, that every thing whatever you supplicate and ask, believe that you receive, and it shall be unto you.

Orar em nome de Jesus
Tudo o que pedirmos em nome de Jesus, Ele fará, para que o Pai seja glorificado no Filho. A oração em seu nome tem autoridade.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.14 And if you shall ask (of) me in my name, I will do.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.14 And if you shall ask (of) me in my name, I will do.
7 But if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, all whatever you will to ask shall be unto you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and placed you, that you also may go (and) yield much fruit; and your fruit shall remain, because all that you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give to you.
24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name: ask, and receive, that your joy may be full.
Orar sem cessar
A Bíblia nos exorta a orar em todo tempo. A oração constante nos mantém conectados com Deus e nos fortalece espiritualmente.

Be done thy will, as in heaven, also in earth.11 Give to us the bread of our need to-day;12 and forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors;13 and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory to the age of ages.

5 If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.6 But let him ask in faith, not wavering.

Deus ouve e responde
Clama a mim e te responderei. O Senhor ouve os que clamam a Ele com sinceridade e responde com poder e fidelidade.

Se pedimos algo segundo a sua vontade, Ele nos ouve. A confiança na oração vem de conhecer e confiar em Deus e suas promessas.
