Psalms 10:17

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

then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.

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.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?

Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

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

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste.

Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

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:

Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.

For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

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

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.

Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

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

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination— how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

Indeed surely there is a future hope, and your hope will not be cut off.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”

You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me, I also have heard you,” says Yahweh.

For Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

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

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by Yahweh’s word.

For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

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

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

“ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.

When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”

He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?” He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.

For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

behold, I have done according to your word. Behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart; so that there has been no one like you before you, and after you none will arise like you.

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.

Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced, because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.

who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

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

Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

For Yahweh hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.

He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.

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

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
