“Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to
him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’ 2And he said to them, ‘When you
pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3Give us each day our daily
bread, 4and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to
us. And lead us not into temptation.’
Luke 11:1-13

“5And he said to them, ‘Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him,
‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have
nothing to set before him’; 7and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now
shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him
anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him
whatever he needs.

“9And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11What
father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If
you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask him!”

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach,
and it will be given him. 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is
like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he
is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
James 1:5-8
