24For this reason, I say to you, all things whatsoever that you ask for when praying: believe that you will receive them, and they will happen for you.

14And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us. 15And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.

7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

6But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.

24Until now, you have not requested anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be full.

6Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.

6But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away; 7then a man should not consider that he would receive anything from the Lord.

14And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.

16Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

16You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.

13And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.

2You desire, and you do not have. You envy and you kill, and you are unable to obtain. You argue and you fight, and you do not have, because you do not ask.
