I need help being good / Eu preciso de ajudar para ser bom


 

Lord,

Thank you for hearing me. Help me with my weaknesses. Let love showed by me be genuine; teach me to abhor evil and hold fast to what is good. Help me to love others with brotherly love affection and outdo one another in showing honor. Lord, I don’t want to be slothful in zeal, but fervent in spirit, to serve the Lord. I also want to rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer. Give me, O Lord, a generous heart to contribute to the needs of the saints and seek hospitality.

Jesus put in my mouth only blessings, especially for those who persecute me, and for those to who I have difficulty relating. Give me a sympathetic heart to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Lord, I confess that I haven’t been putting enough effort to live in harmony with one another, please, help me with that. I don’t want to be haughty but associate with the lowly. Help me to see that I am not that wise, only You know what is best. Stop me when I am prone to repay evil with evil, but show me how to do what is honorable in the sight of all.

Lord,  one more time,  I need to learn how to live peaceably with all. Remove, God, from my mind any thought about vengeance, but leaving that with You, for it is written “Vengeance is mine, I will repay” says the Lord. Instead, help me to obey your commandments and be good even to those who have not been good to me; if they need anything that I can provide for them, inspire me to help them.

Finally, Lord of my life, do not let me be overcome by evil but help me overcome evil with good.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

(Romans 12: 9 – 21)

Senhor,

Obrigado por me ouvir. Ajude-me com minhas fraquezas. Que o amor demonstrado por mim seja genuíno; ensina-me a abominar o mal e a apegar-me ao que é bom. Ajude-me a amar os outros com afeto de amor fraternal e superar um ao outro em mostrar honra. Senhor, eu não quero ser preguiçoso no zelo, mas fervoroso no espírito, para servir ao Senhor. Também quero regozijar-me na esperança, ser paciente nas tribulações e constante na oração. Dá-me, Senhor, um coração generoso para contribuir com as necessidades dos santos e buscar hospitalidade.

Jesus, coloque na minha boca apenas bênçãos, principalmente para aqueles que me perseguem, e para aqueles com quem tenho dificuldade em me relacionar. Dá-me um coração compassivo para alegrar-me com os que se alegram e chorar com os que choram. Senhor, confesso que não tenho me esforçado o suficiente para viver em harmonia um com o outro, por favor, ajude-me com isso. Eu não quero ser arrogante, mas me associar com os humildes. Ajude-me a ver que não sou assim tão sábio, só Você sabe o que é melhor. Pare-me quando estiver propenso a retribuir o mal com o mal, mas mostre-me como fazer o que é honrado aos olhos de todos.

Senhor, mais uma vez, preciso aprender a viver em paz com todos. Remova, Deus, da minha mente qualquer pensamento sobre vingança, mas deixo isso com Você, pois está escrito “A vingança é minha, eu retribuirei” diz o Senhor. Em vez disso, ajude-me a obedecer a seus mandamentos e a ser bom, mesmo para aqueles que não têm sido bons para mim; se eles precisarem de algo que eu possa fornecer para eles, inspire-me a ajudá-los.

Enfim, Senhor da minha vida, não me deixe vencer pelo mal, mas ajude-me a vencer o mal com o bem.

Em nome de Jesus, Amém.

(Romanos 12: 9-21)

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...
