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.

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

The Parable of the Persistent Widow
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ "
Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said.And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
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 ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

As we forgive our debtors.

The Model Prayer
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Joy in the Fellowship of God
O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!
With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly;
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
