¹² In him and through faith in him we may approach God^(A) with freedom and confidence.^(B)

¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit^(A) on all occasions^(B) with all kinds of prayers and requests.^(C) With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying^(D) for all the Lord’s people.

⁶ Do not be anxious about anything,^(A) but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.^(B)

⁸ Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands^(A) without anger or disputing.
