Genesis 26:32

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

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.

The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.

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

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

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.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.

Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;

He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.

One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;

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.

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

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”

and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

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 will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on Yahweh’s name.

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

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men.

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.

In Gibeon, Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask for what I should give you.”

Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

The slothful man doesn’t roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

“In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?

He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’

I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill.

so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.

not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
