1 Samuel 1:27

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.
