8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.
6 Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.
7 And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.
17 Be unceasing in prayer.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
19 But my God –so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus– will fully supply every need of yours.
5 And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.
7 A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord–
8 such a one is a man of two minds, undecided in every step he takes.
22 and everything, whatever it be, that you ask for in your prayers, if you have faith, you shall obtain.«

7 »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.«
8 For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.
2 Be earnest and unwearied in prayer, being on the alert in it and in your giving of thanks.
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.

20 For where there are two or three assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.«
7 »If you continue in me and my sayings continue in you, ask what you will and it shall be done for you.«
13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
7 »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.«
2 You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray;
13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.

5 »And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«
2 So He said to them, »When you pray, say, Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
3 give us day after day our bread for the day;
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'«
20 Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts–

16 Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.

24 As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
24 That is why I tell you, as to whatever you pray and make request for, if you believe that you have received it it shall be yours.

9 »So I say to you, Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'«
10 For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
22 and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.
11 If you then, imperfect as you are, 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!
39 Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. »My Father,« He said, »if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest.«
8 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
8 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
14 All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
16 Be always joyful.
17 Be unceasing in prayer.
18 In every circumstance of life be thankful; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
7 But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.
20 Nor did he in unbelief stagger at God's promise, but became mighty in faith, giving glory to God,
21 and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.
26 In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,
27 and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.

27 »But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;«
28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
6 But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.
7 A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord–
31 »Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted.
32 But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren.«
6 But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.
7 »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«
8 Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.
9 »In this manner therefore pray: Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy;«
10 let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth;
11 give us to-day our bread for the day;
12 and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven those who have failed in their duty towards us;
13 and bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the Evil one.'
16 It is not you who chose me, but it is I who chose you and appointed you that you might go and be fruitful and that your fruit might remain; so that whatever petition you present to the Father in my name He may give you.
7 »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«
18 Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people,
18 Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people,
12 full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.
18 I solemnly tell you that whatever you as a Church bind on earth will in Heaven be held as bound, and whatever you loose on earth will in Heaven be held to be loosed.
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
1 He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart.
2 »In a certain town,« He said, »there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.
3 And in the same town was a widow who repeatedly came and entreated him, saying, »Give me justice and stop my oppressor.'
4 »For a time he would not, but afterwards he said to himself,« Though I have neither reverence for God nor respect for man,
5 yet because she annoys me I will give her justice, to prevent her from constantly coming to pester me.'«
6 And the Lord said, »Hear those words of the unjust judge.
7 And will not God avenge the wrongs of His own People who cry aloud to Him day and night, although He seems slow in taking action on their behalf?
8 Yes, He will soon avenge their wrongs. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?«
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
7 »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«
6 Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.
21 But an evil spirit of this kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting.«
25 Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.
8 As for this, three times have I besought the Lord to rid me of him;
9 but His reply has been, »My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness.« Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them–in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.
