Matthew 6:7-8,26,31-33  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

7 <\/sup>\u201cAnd when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 <\/sup>Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 26 <\/sup>Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.Are you not of more value than they? 31 <\/sup>Therefore do not be anxious, saying, \u2018What shall we eat?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we drink?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we wear?\u2019 32 <\/sup>For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 <\/sup>But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:7-11  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ask, and It Will Be Given<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

7 <\/sup>\u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 <\/sup>For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 <\/sup>Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 <\/sup>Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 <\/sup>If you then, who are 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
