⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

⁷ "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

⁸ For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

⁹ Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

³ Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don't know.

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

² You who hear prayer, To you all men will come.

¹ > God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you, My flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

¹⁴ This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

² You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; But when he cried to him, he heard.

¹ I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.

² Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³ The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

⁶ In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.

⁷ There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

² He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, May your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven.

³ Give us day by day our daily bread.

⁴ Forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.'"

⁵ He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

¹⁹ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more; he will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear, he will answer you.

² Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

²⁴ It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

¹⁶ Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

¹⁶ Confess your offenses to one another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective.

⁸ Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

⁷ For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

⁸ He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

⁹ But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

¹⁹ Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

⁷ If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

²⁵ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

⁷ Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

¹⁷ Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."

¹⁹ My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

⁷ "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

⁵ For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:

⁶ The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me.

⁷ In my distress I called on Yahweh; Yes, I called to my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, My cry [came] into his ears.

⁸ Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked Were shaken, because he was angry.

² Blessed are those who keep his statutes, Who seek him with their whole heart.

¹³ Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

¹³ Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments.

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

⁵ "When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most assuredly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

¹⁰ With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don't let me wander from your commandments.

¹⁸ If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.

⁹ "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

¹¹ "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

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

²⁰ Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

²¹ and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

²² Therefore it also was "reckoned to him for righteousness."

²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.

²⁷ He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

²⁸ We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

⁶ In my distress I called on Yahweh, And cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, My cry before him came into his ears.

¹² You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

²⁷ "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don't withhold your coat also.

¹³ You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.

¹⁵ And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

¹⁸ If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.

¹⁹ But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his loving kindness from me.

¹¹ If you then, 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!

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

⁷ For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

⁸ He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

³¹ The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}."

³³ He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

⁴⁰ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.

⁴¹ Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.

⁴² We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.

¹⁷ I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.

⁶ Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

³⁹ He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."

⁷ In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

⁸ Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

⁹ Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

⁹ Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

¹⁰ Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.

¹² Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

¹³ Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.'

¹⁴ "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

¹¹ Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command you me.

¹⁶ You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

⁹ He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

¹² "Yet even now," says Yahweh, "turn to me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."

¹⁵ Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

⁷ In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

⁸ I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.

¹⁸ with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

¹⁸ Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, To all who call on him in truth.

¹⁴ All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

¹² rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

¹⁷ He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, And has not despised their prayer.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry.

⁴⁵ He remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁴⁶ He made them also to be pitied By all those who carried them captive.

¹⁸ Most assuredly I tell you, whatever things you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever things you will release on earth will be released in heaven.

⁶ In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

¹⁶ Rejoice always.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹⁸ In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

¹⁹ Don't quench the Spirit.

⁸ Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

⁹ He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

³ But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

⁶ But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

²¹ But this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting."

¹⁴ This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

¹⁵ And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don't say that he should make a request concerning this.

¹ He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

² saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God, and didn't respect man.

³ A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'

⁴ He wouldn't for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,

⁵ yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

⁶ The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.

⁷ Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

⁸ I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

⁹ He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

³ Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

⁶ But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

⁷ In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

⁸ Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

⁷ But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

²⁵ Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.

⁶ Seek you Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
