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 it will be opened to you;
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you; for everyone who is asking receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
If, therefore, you being evil, have known to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him?
and all—as much as you may ask in the prayer, believing, you will receive."
and all—as much as you may ask in the prayer, believing, you will receive."
and I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you; for everyone who is asking receives; and he who is seeking finds; and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint, saying, "A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man— and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent, and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me." And the LORD said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says: and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them? I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?"
Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—you ask, believe that you receive, and it will be to you.
Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—you ask, believe that you receive, and it will be to you.
Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—you ask, believe that you receive, and it will be to 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.
and whatever you may ask in My Name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
and whatever you may ask in My Name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in My Name I will do [it].
and whatever you may ask in My Name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in My Name I will do [it].
if you may remain in Me, and My sayings may remain in you, whatever you may wish you will ask, and it will be done to you.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever you may ask of the Father in My Name, He may give you.
until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Orar sem cessar

therefore pray thus: Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name. Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on the earth. Give us today our appointed bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. And may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.
And He said to them, "When you may pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on earth; be giving us daily our appointed bread; and forgive us our sins, for we also ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and may You not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one]."
And when you may pray, you will not be as the hypocrites, because they cherish to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the broad places, that they may be seen of men; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
But you, when you may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you.
