"Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart."

(Psalm 37:4   NIV)

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."   (Mark 11:22-24   NIV)

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.  'Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!'"   (Matthew 7:7-11   NIV)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 4:6-7   NIV)

Jesus said: "If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.  This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples.  'As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you.  Now remain in My love.'"   (John 15:7-9   NIV)

"If you need wisdom -- if you want to know what God wants you to do -- ask Him, and He will gladly tell you.  He will not resent your asking.  But when you ask Him, be sure that you really expect Him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.  People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.  They can't make up their minds.  They waver back and forth in everything they do."   (James 1:5-8   NLT)
