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 ye, and it shall be given to you; seek ye, and ye shall find; knock ye, and it shall be opened to you.
Ask ye, and it shall be given to you; seek ye, and ye shall find; knock ye, and it shall be opened to you.
For each that asketh, taketh; and he that seeketh, findeth; and it shall be opened to him, that knocketh.
Therefore if ye, when ye be evil men, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more your Father that is in heavens shall give good things to men that ask him?
And all things whatever ye believing shall ask in prayer, ye shall take.

And he said to them also a parable, that it behooveth to pray evermore, and not fail;
and said, There was a judge in a city, that dreaded not God, neither shamed of men.
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, and said, Avenge me of mine adversary;
and he would not long time. But after these things he said within himself, Though I dread not God, and shame not of man,
nevertheless for this widow is heavy [or dis-easeful] to me, I shall avenge her; lest at the last she coming condemn me [or she strangle me].
And the Lord said, Hear ye, what the doomsman of wickedness saith;
and whether God shall not do [the] vengeance of his chosen, crying to him day and night, and shall have patience in them?
Soothly I say to you, for soon he shall do [the] vengeance of them. Nevertheless guessest thou, that man’s Son coming shall find faith in earth?
Therefore I say to you, all things whatever things ye praying shall ask, believe ye that ye shall take, and they shall come to you.
Therefore I say to you, all things whatever things ye praying shall ask, believe ye that ye shall take, and they shall come to you.
Therefore I say to you, all things whatever things ye praying shall ask, believe ye that ye shall take, and they shall come to you.
Orar em nome de Jesus
