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.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; and everyone who knocks has the door opened for them.
So if even you who are evil know to give good things to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God."
You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God."
I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened.
Jesus told them this story to encourage them to pray at all times, and not to become discouraged.
"Once there was a judge in this particular town who didn’t respect God or care about anyone," Jesus explained. "In the same town lived a widow who time and again went to the judge, saying, ‘Give me justice in the case against my enemy!’ For a while he didn’t want to do anything about it, but eventually he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t respect God or care about anyone, this widow is so annoying I’ll make sure she receives justice. Then she won’t wear me out by her coming to see me so often.’
Listen to what even an unjust judge decided," said the Lord. "Don’t you think that God will make sure his chosen people receive justice, those who cry out to him day and night? Do you think he will make them wait? No, I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. However, when the Son of man comes, will he find people on earth who trust in him?"
I’m telling you that whatever you pray for, whatever you ask, trust that you’ve received it, and it’s yours.
I’m telling you that whatever you pray for, whatever you ask, trust that you’ve received it, and it’s yours.

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.
I’ll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
I’ll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son. Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
I’ll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son. Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, then you can ask for whatever you want, and it will be given you.
You didn’t choose me, I chose you. I have given you the responsibility to go and produce lasting fruit. So the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Until now you haven’t asked for anything in my name, so ask and you shall receive, and your happiness will be complete.
Orar sem cessar
A Bíblia nos exorta a orar em todo tempo. A oração constante nos mantém conectados com Deus e nos fortalece espiritualmente.
never stop praying,

Always be full of joy, never stop praying, be thankful in every situation—because this is what God in Christ Jesus wants you to do.

A oração do modelo
Jesus ensinou a oração do Pai Nosso como modelo. Ela cobre adoração, submissão, provisão, perdão, proteção e louvor.
So pray like this:
Our heavenly Father, may your name be honored. May your kingdom come! May your will be carried out in earth as it is in heaven. Please give to us today the food we need. Forgive our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. Please don’t let us give in to temptation, and save us from the evil one.
Jesus told them, "When you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be honored as holy. May your kingdom come. Give us every day the food we need. Forgive us our sins, just as we forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from temptation.’"
When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand up and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that people can see them. I promise you, they already have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go indoors and close the door, and pray to your Father in private, and your Father who sees what happens in private will reward you.

Oração eficaz
A oração do justo é poderosa e eficaz. Ore com fé, sem duvidar, pois quem duvida é como onda do mar levada pelo vento.
Admit the wrongs you’ve done to each other, and pray for one another so that you’ll be healed. Earnest prayer from those who live right is very effective.

If any of you need wisdom, ask God, who gives generously to everyone without holding back. But when you ask, remember to trust in God—don’t have any doubts. Someone who doubts is like the crashing waves of the sea, tossed about and driven by the wind. Nobody like that should think they’ll get anything from the Lord— their minds think every which way, and they’re unstable in whatever they do.

You burn with desire, but don’t get what you want. You kill for what you lust after, but don’t get what you’re looking for. You argue and you fight, but you don’t get anything, because you don’t pray for it.
Come close to God and he will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Purify your way of thinking, you people with divided loyalties.

But God did hear me! He listened to what I had to say in my prayer!
I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.
Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.
In my despair I called on the Lord—I cried out to my God for help. He heard my voice from his Temple—my cry for help reached his ears.
He will pay attention to the prayers of the homeless; he will not disregard their requests.
Despite all this, the Lord was moved by their suffering; he heard their sad cries.
He remembered the agreement he had made with them, and he held back because of his great kindness and love.
The Lord is close to all who ask for his help, to all who ask in sincerity.
Confiança nas promessas

We’ll receive from him whatever we ask him for, because we follow his commands and do what pleases him.
So we should go confidently to God on his throne of grace so we can receive mercy, and discover grace to help us when we really need it.

You can’t expect God to be pleased with you if you don’t trust him! Anyone who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who are searching for him.
As a result he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, living always to plead their case on their behalf.

I pleaded with the Lord three times to get rid of this problem. But he told me, "My grace is all you will need, for my power is effective in weakness." That’s why I happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.
Similarly the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We don’t know how to speak with God, but the Spirit himself intercedes with and through us by groans that can’t be put into words. The one who examines the minds of everyone knows the Spirit’s motives, because the Spirit pleads God’s cause on behalf of the believers.
