1 John 5:14

¹³Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

³‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

¹²You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.

²¹Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God; ²²so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

⁷If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

⁷“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. ⁸For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. ⁹Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? ¹¹If you then, 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!

²²All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

¹⁷The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

³You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
