you; seek, and you will find; knock,
and it will be opened to you. 8 For
every one who asks receives,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks
it will be opened.
These three go together.

9 Or what man of you, if his son
asks him for bread, will give
him a stone? 10 Or if he asks
for a fish, will give him a
serpent? 11 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!

Philippians 4:6-7 Have no
anxiety about anything, but
in everything by prayer
and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests
be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which
passes all understanding, will
keep your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus.
