*1.* “You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.” *2* “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” *3* “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Pray without ceasing.” *4* “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
