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)

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...

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. ...
