Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your hearts before him. God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 65:2
O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come.
1 Peter 5:7
While you throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.
Matthew 6:7-13
When praying, do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they think that they will be heard for their use of many words. So do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need even before you ask him. You must pray, then, this way: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. Give us today our bread for this day; and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.
Luke 11:1-4
Now on one occasion, when Jesus was praying in a certain place, as he stopped, one of his disciples said to him: “Lord, teach us how to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.” So he said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: ‘Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Give us each day our bread according to our daily needs. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is in debt to us, and do not bring us into temptation.’”
Matthew 7:7, 8
Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray constantly.
