\n<\/strong>7 <\/sup>\u00a0“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.<\/span>
\n8 <\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>5 <\/sup>\u00a0Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;<\/span> <\/span>
\n6 <\/sup>\u00a0for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;<\/span> <\/span>
\n7 <\/sup>\u00a0and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.<\/i>‘<\/span> <\/span>
\n8 <\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything<\/i> because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
