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 you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
"Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock.
As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
And so I say to you: Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For those who ask will receive, and those who seek will find, and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks.
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to teach them that they should always pray and never become discouraged. "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. And there was a widow in that same town who kept coming to him and pleading for her rights, saying, ‘Help me against my opponent!’ For a long time the judge refused to act, but at last he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect people, yet because of all the trouble this widow is giving me, I will see to it that she gets her rights. If I don’t, she will keep on coming and finally wear me out!’"
And the Lord continued, "Listen to what that corrupt judge said. Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them? I tell you, he will judge in their favor and do it quickly. But will the Son of Man find faith on earth when he comes?"
For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.
For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.
For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.
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.
And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son.
And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it.
You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your happiness may 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.
pray at all times,
pray at all times,
Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus.
Do all this in prayer, asking for God’s help. Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God’s people.

A oração do modelo
Jesus ensinou a oração do Pai Nosso como modelo. Ela cobre adoração, submissão, provisão, perdão, proteção e louvor.
This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven:
May your holy name be honored;
may your Kingdom come;
may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need.
Forgive us the wrongs we have done,
as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.
Do not bring us to hard testing,
but keep us safe from the Evil One.’
Jesus said to them, "When you pray, say this:
‘Father:
May your holy name be honored;
may your Kingdom come.
Give us day by day the food we need.
Forgive us our sins,
for we forgive everyone who does us wrong.
And do not bring us to hard testing.’"
"When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full.
But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

"When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. Do not be like them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.
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.
So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect.

But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all. But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind. If you are like that, unable to make up your mind and undecided in all you do, you must not think that you will receive anything from the Lord.

You want things, but you cannot have them, so you are ready to kill; you strongly desire things, but you cannot get them, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it.
Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!
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.
"Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things that you know nothing about.

because you answer prayers.
People everywhere will come to you
He does not neglect the poor or ignore their suffering;
he does not turn away from them,
but answers when they call for help."
Call to me when trouble comes;
I will save you,
and you will praise me."
I cried to him for help;
I praised him with songs.
If I had ignored my sins,
the Lord would not have listened to me.

But God has indeed heard me;
he has listened to my prayer.
I love the Lord, because he hears me;
he listens to my prayers.
He listens to me
every time I call to him.
In my trouble I called to the Lord;
I called to my God for help.
In his temple he heard my voice;
he listened to my cry for help.
He will hear his forsaken people
and listen to their prayer.
Yet the Lord heard them when they cried out,
and he took notice of their distress.
For their sake he remembered his covenant,
and because of his great love he relented.
He is near to those who call to him,
who call to him with sincerity.
Confiança nas promessas
Se pedimos algo segundo a sua vontade, Ele nos ouve. A confiança na oração vem de conhecer e confiar em Deus e suas promessas.
We have courage in God’s presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will.

We receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.

No one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him.
And so he is able, now and always, to save those who come to God through him, because he lives forever to plead with God for them.
Diversas formas de oração
A oração inclui adoração, intercessão, súplica e ação de graças. Levante mãos santas, ore pelos outros e clame em todo tempo.

Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. But his answer was: "My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak." I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ’s power over me.
In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will.

His faith did not leave him, and he did not doubt God’s promise; his faith filled him with power, and he gave praise to God. He was absolutely sure that God would be able to do what he had promised.
Oração e perseverança
Persevere na oração. Mesmo quando parece que não há resposta, Deus está agindo. O que impossível aos homens é possível a Deus.

"And so I tell all of you: what you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them."
He went a little farther on, threw himself face downward on the ground, and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering from me! Yet not what I want, but what you want."

Let us examine our ways and turn back to the Lord.
Let us open our hearts to God in heaven and pray,

"repent sincerely and return to me

You people who live in Jerusalem will not weep any more. The Lord is compassionate, and when you cry to him for help, he will answer you.
The Lord, the holy God of Israel,
the one who shapes the future, says:
"You have no right to question me about my children
or to tell me what I ought to do!
Postura na oração
Ore no secreto, e o Pai que vê em secreto recompensará. A oração não precisa de muitas palavras, mas de coração sincero.

don’t be worried about those who prosper
or those who succeed in their evil plans.
Morning, noon, and night
my complaints and groans go up to him,
and he will hear my voice.
Trust in God at all times, my people.
Tell him all your troubles,
for he is our refuge.
O God, you are my God,
and I long for you.
My whole being desires you;
like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land,
my soul is thirsty for you.
Happy are those who follow his commands,
who obey him with all their heart.
With all my heart I try to serve you;
keep me from disobeying your commandments.

and he hears me when I call to him.

at sunrise I offer my prayer
and wait for your answer.

The end of all things is near. You must be self-controlled and alert, to be able to pray.
