8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he undertakes.
2 Devote yourselves to prayer. Be alert when you pray with thanksgiving.

8 Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
39 Going on a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed,"O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

8 I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me,
9 but he has told me,"My grace is all you need, for my power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
16 Always be joyful.
17 Continually be prayerful.
18 In everything be thankful, because this is God's will in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Jesus told his disciples a parable about their need to pray all the time and never give up.
2 He said,"In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people.
3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 For a while the judgerefused. But later he said to himself, ‘I don't fear God or respect people.
5 Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me out.’"
6 Then the Lord added,"Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Won't God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them?
8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
6 But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 "When you are praying, don't say meaningless words like the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their wordiness.
7 The end of everything is near; so be sensible and clear-headed for the sake of your prayers.
25 Therefore, because he always lives to intercede for them, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him.
