7 "*Ask, and it will be given to you; *seek, and you will find; *knock, and it will be opened to you.

7 "*Ask, and it will be given to you; *seek, and you will find; *knock, and it will be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

11 So if you, despite being *evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

22 And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it all."

22 And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it all."

9 "So I say to you, *ask, and it will be given to you; *seek, and you will find; *knock, and it will be opened to you.10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened.

1 Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not become discouraged, 2 saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect any person.3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my *opponent.’4 For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect any person,5 yet because this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise *by continually coming she will wear me out.’ "6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge *said;7 now, will God not bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day *and night, and will He delay long for them?8 I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find *faith on the earth?"

24 Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.

24 Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.

24 Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14 If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

7 If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

24 Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

17 pray without ceasing,

17 pray without ceasing,

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

18 *With every prayer and request, *pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, *be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the *saints,

18 *With every prayer and request, *pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, *be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the *saints,

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;

12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,

9 "Pray, then, in this way:

‘Our Father, who is in heaven,

*Hallowed be Your name.

10 ‘*Your kingdom come.

Your will be done,

*On earth as it is in heaven.

11 ‘Give us this day *our daily bread.

12 ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from *evil.*’

2 And He said to them, "When you pray, say:

‘*Father, *hallowed be Your name.

*Your kingdom come.

3 ‘Give us each day our *daily bread.

4 ‘And forgive us our sins,

For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.

And do not lead us into temptation.’ "

5 "And when you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they *will be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

6 But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

6 But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

7 "And when you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.

7 "And when you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.

7 "And when you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.8 So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. A *prayer of a righteous person, when it is *brought about, can accomplish much.

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. A *prayer of a righteous person, when it is *brought about, can accomplish much.

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and *without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a *double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

2 You lust and do not have, so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you *double-minded.

3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and *mighty things, which you do not know.’

3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and *mighty things, which you do not know.’

12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

2 You who hear prayer,

To You all *mankind comes.

24 For He has not despised nor scorned the suffering of the afflicted;

Nor has He hidden His face from him;

But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

15 Call upon Me on the day of trouble;

I will rescue you, and you will honor Me."

17 I cried to Him with my mouth,

And *He was exalted with my tongue.

18 If I *regard wickedness in my heart,

The Lord will not hear;

18 If I *regard wickedness in my heart,

The Lord will not hear;

19 But God has heard;

He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.

1 I love the Lord, because He hears

My voice and my pleas.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,

Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried to my God for help;

He heard my voice from His temple,

And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

17 He has turned His attention to the prayer of the *destitute

And has not despised their prayer.

44 Nevertheless He looked at their distress

When He heard their cry;

45 And He remembered His covenant for their sake,

And *relented according to the greatness of His mercy.

18 The Lord is near to all who call on Him,

To all who call on Him in truth.

14 This is the confidence which we have *before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

14 This is the confidence which we have *before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

22 and whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

16 Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

16 Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.

25 Therefore He is also able to save *forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

6 Do not *be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all *comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

6 Do not *be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

19 And my God will supply *all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and dispute.

8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and dispute.

8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast *about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

26 Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with *groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the *saints according to the will of God.

20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

18 Truly I say to you, whatever you *bind on earth *shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you *loose on earth *shall have been loosed in heaven.

20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

27 "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who are abusive to you.

31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has *demanded to sift you men like wheat;32 but I have prayed for *you, that *your faith will not fail; and *you, when you have *turned back, strengthen your brothers."

14 All these were continually devoting themselves with one *mind to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

25 Now about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

5 "For the waves of death encompassed me;

The floods of *destruction terrified me;

6 The ropes of *Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

7 "In my distress I called upon the Lord,

Yes, I called out to my God;

And from His temple He heard my voice,

And my cry for help came into His ears.

19 "Arise, whimper in the night

At the beginning of the night watches;

Pour out your heart like water

Before the presence of the Lord;

Raise your hands to Him

For the life of your little ones

Who languish because of hunger

At the head of every street.

40 Let’s examine and search out our ways,

And let’s return to the Lord.

41 We raise our heart *and hands

Toward God in heaven;

12 "Yet even now," declares the Lord,

"Return to Me with all your heart,

And with fasting, weeping, and mourning;

6 Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

7 There is no one who calls on Your name,

Who stirs himself to take hold of You;

For You have hidden Your face from us

And have *surrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.

24 It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will listen.

24 It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will listen.

19 *For, you people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will certainly be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.

11 This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel and *his Maker:

"*Ask Me about the things to come *concerning My sons,

And you shall commit to Me the work of My hands.

7 *Rest in the Lord and wait *patiently for Him;

Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way,

Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.

17 Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and moan,

And He will hear my voice.

8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your hearts before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

1 God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You;

My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,

In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.

2 Blessed are those who comply with His *testimonies,

And seek Him with all their heart.

10 With all my heart I have sought You;

Do not let me wander from Your commandments.

3 But know that the Lord has *set apart the godly person for Himself;

The Lord hears when I call to Him.

3 In the morning, Lord, *You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will present my*prayer to You and be on the watch.

9 One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,

Even his prayer is an abomination.

7 The end of all things *is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of *prayer.
