2 Corinthians 12 5-2 Corinthians 12 10
I will boast about this person, but not about myself, except of my weaknesses.For if I want to boast, I wouldn’t be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I will spare you, so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me,especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so that I would not exalt myself.Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it would leave me.But he said to me,“ My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Psalms 42:1-5
As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for you, God.I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God?My tears have been my food day and night, while all day long people say to me,“ Where is your God?”I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts.Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him, my Savior and my God.

Luke 11:1-13
He was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him,“ Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”He said to them,“ Whenever you pray, say, Father, your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come.Give us each day our daily bread.And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone in debt to us. And do not bring us into temptation.”He also said to them,“ Suppose one of you has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says to him,‘ Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I don’t have anything to offer him.’Then he will answer from inside and say,‘ Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s shameless boldness, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.“ 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.For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
