love lost

²²And all things whatsoever that you shall ask for in prayer: believing, you shall receive.”

¹⁹They went out from among us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, certainly they would have remained with us. But in this way, it is made manifest that none of them are of us.

¹³Temptation should not take hold of you, except what is human. For God is faithful, and he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your ability. Instead, he will effect his Providence, even during temptation, so that you may be able to bear it.

⁷Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.

¹⁸Give thanks in everything. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for all of you.

²⁸And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.

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. ³You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may use it toward your own desires.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

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.

¹⁷Pray without ceasing.

²⁶And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing.

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. ⁸For a man who is of two minds is inconstant in all his ways.

²And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect.

²My brothers, when you have fallen into various trials, consider everything a joy,

¹⁷So if anyone is a new creature in Christ, what is old has passed away. Behold, all things have been made new.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance, ²³meekness, faith, modesty, abstinence, chastity. There is no law against such things.

¹⁵Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

⁴⁶But why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?
