Whatsoever

Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.

"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

"and everything that you ask for in your prayers you shall have, if you believe."

That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.

"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.

"We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, to such he listens.

"And whatever' you ask in my name I will do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever your will is, and it shall be yours.

And in that day you will ask me no questions. "Most solemnly I tell you that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from the God who gives to all men freely and without upbraiding; and it will be given to him.

So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. For the fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty in its working.
