Acts 1:14

“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.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

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

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.

Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

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

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.

Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,

They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
