²⁴ Therefore I say to you, ^(A)whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

²² And ^(A)whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Confidence and Compassion in Prayer

¹⁴ Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that ^(A)if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

²² And ^(A)whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments ^(B)and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

^5 (A)If any of you lacks wisdom, ^(B)let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and ^(C)it will be given to him. ^6 (D)But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

^19 (A)“Again^[a] I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, ^(B)it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words ^(A)abide in you, ^(B)you^[a] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

^13 (A)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be ^(B)glorified in the Son.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking^(A)

^7 (B)“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For ^(C)everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. ^9 (D)Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If you then, ^(E)being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
