Let us confess // Vamos confessar


Let’s confess

Lord, I recognize You as the King of kings, Lord of lords, Creator of the Universe, and Prince of Peace.

I come here today to confess.

I confess that I have been failing,

I fail to love my neighbors as I love myself,

I fail to be merciful,

I fail to be gentle,

I fail to be kind,

I fail to be selfless,

I fail when I lose my temper,

I fail to be just, and I think only my way is the best,

I fail to hear other’s opinions,

I fail to trust in You,

I am more worried about myself,

I am more worried about my career,

I am more worried about politics,

I only worry about my family, no one else’s,

I am more worried about what people are saying about me,

I am more worried about my health,

I am more worried to get things done and look good,

I forget how much You love me,

I forget that without the breath of life You gave me, I would not exist,

I forget that without Your mercy, I am like a smoke,

I forget that without Your will nothing is possible,

I forget that You are the one who gave me the intelligence,

I forget that You are the one who makes the plants grow, the rain to fall, the sun to shine so I can have food on my table,

I forget that You allow good and bad things to happen to good and bad people equally,

I forget that you love me so much that You gave Your only Son to die for me so I can be with You for all eternity,

I 've taken for granted all those things that You have provided me: my food, my clothes, my house, my family, my friends, Your mercy, Your love.

Lord, forgive me.

Help me to remember You and see You in everything I do and have. Teach me how to succeed in being the person You want me to be.

Remember me that You are always close no matter the circumstances, especially when I feel hopeless, lost, and forsaken.

Teach me to seek in You the strength that I need to overcome my troubles.

Lord, I hear about You but I don’t really know You,

I have been failing to get to know You more,

I hear about Your love but I have lived as You don’t exist most of the time,

Lord, save me from myself, from my arrogance and stupidity.

Have mercy on me. Help me to be better.

In the name of Your Son Jesus Christ,

I confess, Amen.

 

 

 

Vamos confessar

Senhor, eu te reconheço como o Rei dos reis, Senhor dos senhores, Criador do Universo e Príncipe da paz.

Venho aqui hoje para me confessar.

Eu confesso que tenho falhado,

Não consigo amar meus vizinhos como me amo,

Eu não sou misericordioso,

Eu falho em ser gentil,

Eu falho em ser amoroso,

Eu não sou altruísta,

Eu falho quando perco a paciência,

Não consigo ser justo e acho que só o meu jeito é o melhor,

Eu não consigo ouvir as opiniões dos outros,

Eu não consigo confiar em você,

Estou mais preocupado comigo mesmo,

Estou mais preocupado com a minha carreira,

Estou mais preocupado com a politica,

Eu só me preocupo com minha família, de mais ninguém,

Estou mais preocupado com o que as pessoas estão dizendo sobre mim,

Estou mais preocupado com a minha saúde,

Estou mais preocupado em fazer as coisas e ter uma boa aparência,

Eu esqueço o quanto você me ama,

Eu esqueço que sem o sopro de vida que você me deu, eu não existiria,

Eu esqueço que sem sua misericórdia eu sou como uma fumaça,

Eu esqueço que sem a tua vontade nada é possível,

Eu esqueço que você é aquele que me deu a inteligência,

Eu esqueço que Você é aquele que faz as plantas crescerem, a chuva cair, o sol brilhar para que eu possa ter comida na minha mesa,

Eu esqueço que Você permite que coisas boas e más aconteçam a pessoas boas e más igualmente,

Eu esqueço que você me ama tanto que deu Seu único filho para morrer por mim para que eu possa estar com Você por toda a eternidade,

Eu considero natural todas as coisas que Você me forneceu: minha comida, minhas roupas, minha casa, minha família, meus amigos, Sua misericórdia, Seu amor.

Senhor perdoa-me.

Ajuda-me a lembrar de ti e a te ver em tudo o que faço e tenho. Ensine-me como ter sucesso em ser a pessoa que você quer que eu seja.

Lembra-me de  que Você está sempre perto, não importa as circunstâncias, especialmente quando me sinto sem esperança, perdido e abandonado.

Ensina-me a buscar em Ti a força de que preciso para superar minhas dificuldades.

Senhor, eu ouço sobre você, mas eu realmente não te conheço,

Tenho falhado em te conhecer mais,

Eu ouço sobre o Seu amor, mas vivo como se você não existisse na maior parte do tempo,

Senhor, salva-me  de mim mesmo, da minha arrogância e estupidez.

Tenha misericórdia de mim. Me ajude a ser melhor.

Em nome de Seu Filho Jesus Cristo,

Eu confesso, amém.

Choose to be full of...// Escolha ser cheio de...

Can you choose to be   Joyful? (Full of joy) Peaceful? (full of peace) Patient? (full of patience) Kind? (full of kindness) Good? (full of goodness) Faithful? (full of faith) Gentle? (full of gentleness) Generous? (full of generosity) Self-controlled? (totally self-controlled) Can you choose to be like that all the time? To everyone?   What other religion would promise you that? I am not saying that all Christians are like that all the time. No, we are not, unfortunately. However, we are prone to be more successful than others, do you know why?  When Jesus was lifted to the heavens after his resurrection, he promised that a few days later, His Spirit would come to live in us. The Holy Spirit is our helper. When we live a godly life, a prayer life, and are filled with the Holy Spirit, those are the characteristics that should be seen in us—if not all of them, at least most of them.  Would you like to live like that? To treat people like that? Well, I suppose so. ...

My take on these stories // Minha opinião nessas histórias

The 2 Samuel 9 and 10 are about David’s kindness toward others. One person received his kindness humbly, knowing that wasn’t expected from that king in particular. Saul was the first king of Israel and did not obey the word of the LORD. Therefore, the kingdom was taken away from him and his lineage. God announced to Saul that he was going to give the kingdom to someone else. Being David. Because David was not a descendant of Saul, once he started reigning, it was expected that the new king, non-descendant of the former, would kill all the former king’s descendants so no one would stand in the line of succession. Bu David did not do that. Instead, he chose to show kindness toward the last person from Saul’s house.  Saul’s grandson accepted David’s kindness. And we have a beautiful story about grace.  Chapter 10, however, tells a different story. A story of a man who didn’t accept David’s kindness because that was what he was. A person who suspected everyone around him. He ...

Arise and eat // Levante e coma

  He came to a broom bush, sat under it, and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough,  Lord ,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”   5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once, an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”   6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. 7 The angel of the  Lord  came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”   8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. (1 Kings 19: 4-8) How many times have you wished that this life were over? I have wished that many times. Sometimes it is just too painful, or sad, or hopeless, isn’t it? You know, Elijah...
