Be worried or not be worried // se preocupar ou não se preocupar

Preocupação não vai impedir as coisas ruins de aconetcerem, ela só vai impedir você de aproveitar as boas coisas.


For two days now I’m having this pain in my neck, no really able of sitting or standing for long, or looking up is not an easy job neither is to complain about it.  It has been a while since the Fibromyalgia had given me a break; I was content, but when the worries come so does the pain.

It’s hard not to worry about anything, or even control the urge of worrying. Sometimes it is like an addiction, the worry, you know. You feel like you have to because if you don’t, you might feel guilty or irresponsible. But Jesus said that you and I cannot add an hour in our lifespan with worry. So why bother? Do you solve anything by worrying this much? I don’t think so.

However, sometimes it is inevitable. Like, someone is about to receive the news that will change his life forever, what do you think? He will worry, I will worry, anybody would worry. We get anxious. Why do we feel this way? Because if we don’t, people might get the wrong impression, right? Like you are insensitive, have a hard and cold heart.

I understand. We don’t notice that. It is like in our nature to worry. Because we care. We care for our friends, we care for our family members, we care, so we worry. It is ok, since this worry doesn’t make you sick, or bothers others.

Jesus wants you to tell him all your worries, and trust Him, that he is on his way to help you. But you know, it will be his way of doing. He is the best, believe me. Better, believe Him.
No matter what comes in your way, He is with you. He’ll take the hit. Let Him be your shield, your protection. Ask him.

Let’s pray: Dear Lord, fill my heart with your peace. Come to me and be my shield, my protection, my lawyer, be my doctor, my immune system. Be with me, Be in me. Take the hit for me, because I can’t take it, I might faint. I’m too weak, be by my side; let me feel your presence, In Jesus name, Amen.

Já são dois dias que eu estou com essa dor no meu pescoço. Não ser capaz de sentar ou ficar em pé muito tempo, nem reclamar sobre isso, não tem sido fácil. Já fazia um tempo que a fibromialgia tinha me dado um tempo, eu estava até contente com isso. Mas quando as preocupações vêm, as dores também vêm.

É difícil não se preocupar com nada, ou mesmo controlar a necessidade de se preocupar. Às vezes parece um vício, a preocupação, sabe.  Você sente como se tivesse, porque se você não se preocupa, você se sente culpado ou irresponsável. Mas Jesus disse que ao se preocupar não adicionaremos nenhuma hora no nosso tempo de vida, então para que se incomodar? Resolve algo ao se preocupar? Acho que não.

No entanto, às vezes é inevitável. Como alguém que está para receber uma notícia que vai mudar sua vida para sempre, o que você acha? Tem como não se preocupar? Eu me preocuparia e ficaria ansiosa, certo? Por que nos sentimos desse jeito? Porque se não nos sentimos assim, as pessoas podem ter a impressão errada sobre nós, podem pensar que somos insensíveis ou ter um coração duro e frio.

Eu entendo. Nós não percebemos que agimos assim. É como se estivesse na nossa natureza se preocupar. Porque nós nos importamos. Nós amamos nossos amigos, família, e por isso nos preocupamos. Tudo bem, desde que essa preocupação não te deixe doente, ou incomode os outros.

Jesus quer que você diga para ele todas as suas preocupações, e confie nele, porque ele já está à caminho para te ajudar. Ele é o melhor, acredite. Melhor, acredite Nele. Não importa o que vem no seu caminho, Ele está com você. Ele vai tomar a pancada por você. Deixe-o ser seu escudo, sua proteção. Peça a Ele.

Oremos: Senhor Deus, enche meu coração com sua paz. Vem para mim e seja meu escudo, minha proteção, meu advogado, meu médico, meu sistema imune. Esteja comigo, esteja dentro de mim. Receba a pancada por mim, porque eu não aguento, eu posso desmaiar. Eu sou muito fraca; esteja ao meu lado e permita que eu sinta sua presença. Em nome de Jesus, amém.

I see Grace in the time of the Law // Eu vejo Graça no tempo da Lei

People frequently say that the Old Testament is the time of the law, and now we are under the Grace of God. Surprisingly, I just found out an explicit act of the Grace of God in the Old Testament. As I read chapter 9 of Deuteronomy , in which has a title Not because of Righteousness (ESV). I am stunned to see verses 4 - 6, they say: “ Do not say in your heart , after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘ It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. 5 Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.6 “Know, therefore, that the Lord your God is not giving y...

No "trouble-free" card for you // Nenhum cartão "livre-de-problemas" para você

  The Word of the Lord is beautiful and true. In there, you find so many poems. This is the form the Bible authors chose to communicate the Word of the LORD, and it is profound. I’ve been listening to the Bible Project podcast for more than a year now. Lately, they are covering the theme of “The Wilderness”. Now, everywhere I read in the Scripture, I see something related to it. It is amazing. I am now in the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 43. And guess what? It is wonderful. Just in the first few verses, you find that God is telling His people that it doesn’t matter what sort of hardship they are going through, He, the Creator, will deliver them. Actually, it is said like this: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior....

The oppressive urge to speak // A necessidade opressiva de falar

  Should I keep quiet forever? Is silence that bad? Can’t I stand my own thoughts that I need to say out loud? What kind of thoughts come to my mind? Are they generally good or bad? If I choose to speak up, to whom would it benefit? If anyone ever. Let me be clear: It is better not to say a word than say words that will do more harm than good. What if it is the truth? I ask, why would you say it? How would you say it? The truth will come out eventually. You don’t need to lie or be rude. What we must do is to be kind. If I tell you the truth in a harsh way, will you accept, or will you only hear the harsh sound of my voice and ignore completely what I was trying to say? Sometimes, not even the kindest words won’t make it through because the listener isn’t listening at all. The listener doesn’t care about your opinion, doesn’t care about others. The listener just cares about himself. The listener just wants to say w...
