Pray without Ceasing

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

Rejoice at all times. …

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

…and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.

But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.
