The Importance of Prayer

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

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,

The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

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.

Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.

Pray without ceasing.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
