⁸ So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.

³² Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

⁹ Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.

³⁰ For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.

⁶ Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

¹⁷ Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

¹⁸ Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.

¹⁹ You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you.

²³ And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

²⁴ Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

²⁵ All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

²⁶ In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

²⁷ For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.
