praying

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

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.

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.

¹⁸Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints,

⁶But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.

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.

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

⁷And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.

¹Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,

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.

⁸Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.

²Pursue prayer. Be watchful in prayer with acts of thanksgiving.

¹⁶Rejoice always. ¹⁷Pray without ceasing. ¹⁸Give thanks in everything. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for all of you.
