But Jehovah shall give you there a trembling heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of mind. ⁶⁶ And your life shall hang in doubt before you, and you shall fear day and night, and shall have no assurance of your life. ⁶⁷ In the morning you shall say, Oh that it were evening!

⁷ But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations. For they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard.

⁷ Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. ⁸ For each one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, it shall be opened. ⁹ Or what man is there of you, if his son asks a loaf, will he give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a snake? ¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him?

³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? ³² For the nations seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

¹ Take heed that you do not do your merciful deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in Heaven. ² Therefore when you do your merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. ³ But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does, ⁴ so that your merciful deeds may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret Himself shall reward you openly. ⁵ And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. ⁶ But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. ⁷ But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations. For they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard. ⁸ Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him. ⁹ Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ¹⁰ Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread; ¹² and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors. ¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. ¹⁴ For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; ¹⁵ but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ¹⁶ And when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, of a sad face. For they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. ¹⁷ But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, ¹⁸ so that you do not appear to men to fast, but to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. ¹⁹ Do not lay up treasures on earth for yourselves, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. ²⁰ But lay up treasures in Heaven for yourselves, where neither moth nor rust corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ²² The light of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body shall be full of light. ²³ But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! ²⁴ No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵ Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Behold the birds of the air; for they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them; are you not much better than they are? ²⁷ Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁸ And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, nor do they spin, ²⁹ but I say to you that even Solomon in his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ Therefore if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much rather clothe you, little-faiths? ³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? ³² For the nations seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. ³⁴ Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall be anxious for its own things. Sufficient to the day is the evil of it.

⁴¹ Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

¹ And He also spoke a parable to them to teach it is always right to pray, and not to faint,

¹⁶ For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

⁸ But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

¹⁴ so that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations in Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

⁸ Therefore, I desire that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

⁴ May He grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your plans. ⁵ We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up banners; may Jehovah fulfill all your prayers.

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty. ² I will say of Jehovah, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust. ³ Surely He will deliver you from the fowler's trap and from the destroying plague. ⁴ He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall trust. His truth shall be your shield, and buckler. ⁵ You shall not fear the terror by night; nor because of the arrow that flies by day; ⁶ nor for the plague that walks in darkness, of the destruction laying waste at noonday. ⁷ A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near you. ⁸ Only with your eyes you shall look and see the reward of the wicked. ⁹ Because You, O Jehovah, are My refuge; if You have made the Most High Your dwelling-place, ¹⁰ no evil shall befall You, nor shall any plague come near Your dwelling. ¹¹ For He shall give His angels charge over You, to keep You in all Your ways. ¹² They shall bear You up in their hands, lest You dash your foot against a stone. ¹³ You shall tread on the lion and adder; the young lion and the jackal You shall trample underfoot. ¹⁴ Because He has set His love on Me, therefore I will deliver Him; I will set Him on high, because He has known My name. ¹⁵ He shall call on Me, and I will answer Him; I will be with Him in trouble; I will deliver Him, and honor Him. ¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.

⁶ But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

¹³ No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹³ Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

¹⁹ But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

⁹ Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ¹⁰ Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread; ¹² and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors. ¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

¹⁶ Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

⁷ casting all your anxiety onto Him, for He cares for you.

¹⁶ Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.
