Matthew 6:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

O Lord, you understand my heart's desire; my groaning is not hidden from you.

Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away!

For all the nations of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

At that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.
