Exemplos de oração na Bíblia que mudaram histórias

Por Bíblia Online  - 

A oração é uma ferramenta poderosa que transforma vidas e situações. Na Bíblia, encontramos vários exemplos de pessoas que, por meio da oração fervorosa e cheia de fé, influenciaram o curso da história e experimentaram o poder de Deus de maneira extraordinária. Conhecer essas orações fortalece nossa fé e nos inspira a orar com convicção.

A oração de Ana: fé que vence o silêncio

Ana enfrentava uma grande dor por ser estéril. Em sua angústia, orou com sinceridade e fé ao Senhor no templo (1 Samuel 1:10-20). Sua oração foi ouvida, e Deus lhe concedeu um filho, Samuel, que se tornou um grande profeta. A oração de Ana nos ensina a não desistir e a confiar mesmo quando as circunstâncias parecem impossíveis.

And she was in bitterness of nefesh, and davened unto Hashem, and wept greatly. And she vowed a neder (vow), and said, O Hashem Tzva’os, if thou wilt indeed look on the misery of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid zera anashim, then I will give him unto Hashem kol yamei of his chayyah, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

And it came to pass, as she continued davening before Hashem, that Eli observed her mouth. Now Channah, she davened in her lev; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; therefore Eli thought her to be shikkorah. And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunk? Put away thy yayin from thee. And Channah answered and said, No, adoni, I am an isha of a keshat ruach (oppressed spirit); I have drunk neither yayin nor strong drink, but have poured out my nefesh before Hashem. Take not thine amah (handmaid, servant) for a bat Beliyaal; for out of the abundance of my anguish and ka’as (grief) have I davened hitherto. Then Eli answered and said, Go in shalom; and Elohei Yisroel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of Him. And she said, Let thine handmaid find chen (grace, favor) in thy sight. So the isha went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

And they rose up in the boker early, and worshiped before Hashem and returned, and came to their bais in Ramah; and Elkanah knew Channah his wife; and Hashem remembered her. And it came to pass in due time, after Channah had conceived, that she bore a ben, and called his name Shmuel (Heard of G-d) saying, Because from Hashem I have asked for him.

Elias e sua oração pela chuva

Durante um período de seca, o profeta Elias orou com autoridade e fé para que Deus enviasse chuva sobre a terra (1 Reis 18:41-45). Sua oração não só trouxe a chuva necessária, como também manifestou o poder de Deus sobre os falsos deuses. Essa história mostra que orações firmes, alinhadas à vontade de Deus, podem mudar realidades.

And Eliyahu said unto Ach’av, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a kol hamon hageshem (sound of rushing rain, sound of rain coming).

So Ach’av went up to eat and to drink. But Eliyahu climbed up to Rosh HaCarmel (top of Carmel); and he cast himself down upon the ground, and put his face between his birkayim (knees), And said to his eved, Go up now, look toward the yam. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again sheva pe’amim (seven times). And it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, Hinei, there ariseth a little cloud out of the yam, as small as kaf ish (a manʼs palm). And he said, Go, say unto Ach’av, Harness up [thy merkavah] and get thee down that the geshem stop thee not.

And it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the Shomayim grew black with clouds and ruach, and there was a geshem gadol. And Ach’av rode, and went to Yizre’el.

Daniel e a oração pela restauração

Daniel, mesmo em um ambiente hostil na Babilônia, manteve uma vida de oração constante. Quando enfrentou o decreto real que o proibia de orar, ele perseverou (Daniel 6). Além disso, suas orações em Daniel 9 mostraram arrependimento e intercessão pelo povo de Israel. O resultado foi a intervenção divina que preservou sua vida e a restauração da nação.

Jesus e a oração no Getsêmani

Antes de sua prisão e crucificação, Jesus orou intensamente no jardim do Getsêmani, buscando força para cumprir a vontade do Pai (Mateus 26:36-46). Essa oração demonstra a importância da entrega e submissão a Deus, mesmo diante das maiores dificuldades.

Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes with them to a place being called Gat-Shmanim, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to the talmidim, Sit here until I go over there and daven. And having taken Kefa and the two sons of Zavdai, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to be sorrowful and distressed with agmat nefesh (grief). Then he says to them, My nefesh is deadly grieved, even to the point of mavet. Remain here and stay awake with me. And having gone forward a short distance, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach fell upon his face, davening and saying, Avi, if it is possible, let this Kos pass from me. But not as I will, but as you will. Then he comes to the talmidim and finds them sleeping, and he says to Kefa, So were you not strong enough to be awake for one hour with me? Stay awake and offer tefillos, lest you enter lidey nisayon. Indeed the ruach is willing but the basar is weak. Again, for a second time, having left, he davened, saying, Avi, if it is not possible for this to pass by except I drink it, let yeaseh rtzonechah (your will be done). And having come again, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach found the talmidim sleeping, for their eyes were too heavy to stay open. And having left them again and having gone away, he was davening for the shlishit (third) time, saying the same words. Then he comes to the talmidim and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest. Hinei! The hour is at hand, and the Bar Enosh is being betrayed into the hands of chote’im (sinners). Arise, and let us go. Hinei! My betrayer has drawn near.
