“ So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

“ And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

“ So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.

“ So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

“ So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

“ So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

“ So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

“ I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

So I tell you, when you pray for something, believe that you have already received it. Then it will be yours.

When that day comes, you will no longer ask me for anything. What I’m about to tell you is true. My Father will give you anything you ask for in my name.Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive what you ask for. Then your joy will be complete.

If you believe, you will receive what you ask for when you pray.”

You did not choose me. Instead, I chose you. I appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit that will last. I also appointed you so that the Father will give you what you ask for. He will give you whatever you ask for in my name.

If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be done for you.

And I will do anything you ask in my name. Then the Father will receive glory from the Son.

And he will give us anything we ask. That’s because we obey his commands. We do what pleases him.

If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn’t find fault.

“ Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find. The door will be opened to the one who knocks.“ Suppose your son asks for bread. Which of you will give him a stone?Or suppose he asks for a fish. Which of you will give him a snake?Even though you are evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

When I was in great trouble, I cried out to the Lord. He answered me and set me free from my trouble.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Those who come to God must believe that he exists. And they must believe that he rewards those who look to him.

The prayer offered by those who have faith will make the sick person well. The Lord will heal them. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.

Then you will call out to me. You will come and pray to me. And I will listen to you.

Call out to me. I will answer you. I will tell you great things you do not know. And unless I do, you wouldn’t be able to find out about them.”

The lions may grow weak and hungry. But those who look to the Lord have every good thing they need.

Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.

So let us boldly approach God’s throne of grace. Then we will receive mercy. We will find grace to help us when we need it.

Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me.”

I looked to the Lord, and he answered me. He saved me from everything I was afraid of.

Praise him, because his name is holy. Let the hearts of those who trust in the Lord be glad.Seek the Lord and the strength he gives. Always seek him.

My heart says,“ Seek him!” Lord, I will seek you.

Jesus answered her,“ You do not know what God’s gift is. And you do not know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would have asked him. He would have given you living water.”

He says,“ When I had mercy on you, I heard you. On the day I saved you, I helped you.”( Isaiah 49:8) I tell you, now is the time God has mercy. Now is the day he saves.

But here is what I tell you. Not even Solomon in all his royal robes was dressed like one of these flowers.

Turn to the Lord before it’s too late. Call out to him while he’s still ready to help you.Let those who are evil stop doing evil things. And let them quit thinking evil thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord. The Lord will show them his tender love. Let them turn to our God. He is always ready to forgive.

What I say to you, I say to everyone.‘ Watch!’ ”

“ Try very hard to enter through the narrow door. I tell you, many will try to enter and will not be able to.The owner of the house will get up and close the door. Then you will stand outside knocking and begging. You will say,‘ Sir, open the door for us.’“ But he will answer,‘ I don’t know you. And I don’t know where you come from.’

God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.

I’m asking the Lord for only one thing. Here is what I want. I want to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. I want to look at the beauty of the Lord. I want to worship him in his temple.

So I prayed to the Lord God. I begged him. I made many appeals to him. I didn’t eat anything. I put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. And I sat down in ashes.

“ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?”“ The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God ahead of you.

I have not spoken in secret. I have not spoken from a dark place. I have not said to Jacob’s people,‘ It is useless to look for me.’ I am the Lord. I always speak the truth. I always say what is right.

The Lord speaks to the people of Israel. He says,“ Look to me and live.Do not look to Bethel. Do not go to Gilgal. Do not travel to Beersheba. The people of Gilgal will be taken away as prisoners. Nothing will be left of Bethel.”Israel, look to the Lord and live. If you don’t, he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire. It will burn everything up. And Bethel won’t have anyone to put it out.

“ All night long on my bed I searched for the one my heart loves. I looked for him but didn’t find him.I will get up and go around in the city. I’ll look through all of its streets. I’ll search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but didn’t find him.Those on guard duty found me as they were walking around in the city.‘ Have you seen the one my heart loves?’ I asked.As soon as I had passed by them I found the one my heart loves. I threw my arms around him and didn’t let him go until I had brought him to my mother’s house. I took him to my mother’s room.

Philip found Nathanael and told him,“ We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the Law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”“ Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.“ Come and see,” said Philip.Jesus saw Nathanael approaching. Here is what Jesus said about him.“ He is a true Israelite. Nothing about him is false.”“ How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered,“ I saw you while you were still under the fig tree. I saw you there before Philip called you.”Nathanael replied,“ Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the king of Israel.”

Cornelius was afraid. He stared at the angel.“ What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered,“ Your prayers and gifts to poor people are like an offering to God. So he has remembered you.Now send men to Joppa. Have them bring back a man named Simon. He is also called Peter.He is staying with another Simon, a man who works with leather. His house is by the sea.”

‘ I won’t ask the rest of you in Thyatira to do anything else. You don’t follow the teaching of Jezebel. You haven’t learned what some people call Satan’s deep secrets.

I opened the door for my love. But he had left and was gone. My heart sank because he had left. I looked for him but didn’t find him. I called out to him, but he didn’t answer.
