Ephesians 5:20

“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.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

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

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

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

with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.

Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

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

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.

But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”

We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”

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.

If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God whenever I remember you,

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men:

I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
