If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

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

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

Pray without ceasing.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And this is the confidence that we have before Him: 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 already possess what we have asked of Him.

But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

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

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

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

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

Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,

So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Rejoice at all times. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

So then, this is how you should pray: ‘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 the evil one.’

The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men. And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’” . . .

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.

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

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’ But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ . . .

The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.

If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.

In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.

But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.

Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me. . . .

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure. Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. . . .

Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.

That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him. “Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me. But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ . . .

“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,
