And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
Matthew 7:7
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
Pray without ceasing,
Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”
But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas;
And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’”
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
