Palavras de consolo
A Bíblia é repleta de palavras de consolo para os aflitos. Deus está perto dos que sofrem e promete enxugar toda lágrima, renovar a esperança e restaurar o coração partido.
Deus está conosco
O Senhor é refúgio e fortaleza. Mesmo no vale da sombra da morte, não precisamos temer — Ele está ao nosso lado para nos consolar.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple.
For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Consolação e esperança
Deus consola os humildes e exalta os abatidos. Ele nunca nos desamparará.
It is the Lordwho goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you.’
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
he sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
Descanso e renovação
Bem-aventurados os que choram, pois serão consolados. A Bíblia nos convida a descansar nos braços do Pai e encontrar paz para a alma.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Show me a sign of your favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
Let your steadfast love comfort me
according to your promise to your servant.
If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
A Time for Everything
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
