7 And when you talk to God, do not say words that mean nothing, over and over again. People who do not believe in God do that. They think their god will hear them because they say many words.
8 Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
8 Come to God and he will come to you. You bad people, make your hands clean! You love what is good and what is wrong at the same time. Make your hearts clean.
17 Do not despise people who speak words from God.

7 Ask, and you will get what you ask for. Look, and you will find what you look for. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.
8 Everyone who asks will get. The one who looks will find. And the one who knocks will have the door opened for him.
14 And we are sure God will do this. If we ask him for anything that he wants us to have, he will listen to us.
2 You want something but you cannot get it. Then you kill. You want something very much and cannot get it. So you quarrel and fight. You do not get it because you do not ask God for it.
2 Always take time to talk to God. Put your mind on what you are saying. And thank God for what he has done.
16 So tell one another the wrong things you have done. And tell God about each others needs, so that you will be healed. When a good man talks to God, big things can be done.

5 If any of you need to be wise, ask God to make you wise. He gives plenty of wisdom to all people. He is not angry because you ask him. He will make you wise.
6 But when you ask, you must believe that God will do it. You must not doubt and think, Perhaps God will not do it. A person who doubts is like a wave on the sea. The wind drives it this way and that way.

8 A person like that has two minds. He cannot go straight in any of his ways.

20 He did not stop believing Gods promise. He believed God very much. He did not praise God for his own faith, but for Gods promise.
21 He was sure that God was able to do what he had promised to do.
27 But I say to you who hear, love your enemies. Do good things to those who hate you.
28 Bless those who use bad words about you. Ask God to do good to those who trouble you.

27 God looks to see what is in peoples hearts. And he knows what the Spirit is going to do. The Spirit talks to God for Gods people. And he asks for them what God wants them to have.

6 If a person does not believe God, he cannot please him. Anyone who comes to God must believe that God is real. And he must believe that God will bless those who try to find him. God will reward a person, if he really tries to find God.
2 Jesus said, When you talk with God, say, "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.
3 Give us our food day by day.
4 Forgive us for the wrong things we have done. We forgive everyone who has done wrong to us. Do not lead us to be tested."
9 So talk to your God like this: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10 "May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 "Give us our food for today.
12 "Forgive us for the wrong things we have done, the way we forgive those who have done wrong things to us.
13 "Do not test us but help us, so that no one will make us do wrong. Deliver us from the evil one. The kingdom and power and praise belong to you for ever. Amen!"
6 Then God will give you peace, a peace which is too wonderful to understand. That peace will keep your hearts and minds safe as you trust in Christ Jesus.
7 Here, my brothers, are some things I want you to think about. Think about things that are true, honest, right, clean and pure, things that are lovely, and things that are good to talk about. If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.
31 Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked to have all of you. He wants to shake you like grain with the cleaning fan.
32 But I have talked to God about you, Simon, so that you will keep on believing in me. And when you come back, then help your brothers to be strong.
15 And if we know he listens to us when we ask for anything, then we know that we have what we asked him for.
11 You are wrong, and yet you know how to give good things to your children. Much more, your Father in heaven will give good things to those who ask him.
5 When you talk to God, do not be like people who are not true to themselves. They like to stand and talk to God in the meeting houses and at the street corners, so that people will see them. I tell you the truth. They have their reward already.
19 Praise God our Father for ever. Yes, he will do it.
20 Where two or three people meet together in my name, I am there with them.
39 Jesus went on a little further. He bowed down with his face to the ground. He talked to God and said, My Father, if it can be, let this cup of trouble pass by me. But do not do what I want. May what you want be done.
8 So I want men in every place to talk to God. They must have clean lives when they lift up their hands to talk to God. They must not be angry. They must have faith in God.

16 Do not stop the Spirit when he wants to do something.
17 Do not despise people who speak words from God.
18 But test everything that is said. Keep what is good.
6 But when you talk to God, go into your room and shut the door. Then talk to your Father in secret. Your Father sees secret things and he will reward you.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you. I gave you a big work to do. That work is to go out and do good things and to make the good things that you do remain strong. If you do that, my Father will do anything you ask in my name.
7 And when you talk to God, do not say words that mean nothing, over and over again. People who do not believe in God do that. They think their god will hear them because they say many words.

8 I begged the Lord three times that this trouble might leave me.
9 But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.
14 And we are sure God will do this. If we ask him for anything that he wants us to have, he will listen to us.
15 And if we know he listens to us when we ask for anything, then we know that we have what we asked him for.
21 But this kind of bad spirit does not come out of a person unless people ask God and fast do not eat food for a time .
1 Jesus told them a story to teach them that they should keep on talking with God and not give up.
2 He said, There was a judge in a city. He did not respect God or care about people.
3 There was a woman in that city whose husband was dead. The woman came to the judge again and again. She said, "Save me from my enemy!"
4 For a long time he would not do it. But after a time he said, "I do not respect God or care about people.
5 But this woman is troubling me. So I will save her from her enemy. If I do not, she will keep coming until I am tired."
6 The Lord said, The judge was a bad man. And yet you should listen to what he says.
7 When the people whom God has chosen call to him day and night, he will save them from their enemies. He may let them wait a time.
8 But I tell you, he will save them from their enemies soon. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find any people who believe in him?
6 But when you talk to God, go into your room and shut the door. Then talk to your Father in secret. Your Father sees secret things and he will reward you.
7 And when you talk to God, do not say words that mean nothing, over and over again. People who do not believe in God do that. They think their god will hear them because they say many words.
7 It is almost the time when the world will end. So be wise and watch and talk to God.
25 Because of that, he is able to save people for ever, if they come to God by him. He lives for ever to talk to God for them.
