Prayer Promises

23 And (A)on that day (B)you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, (C)if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. 24 (D)Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your (E)joy may be made full.

25 “These things I have spoken to you in (F)figures of speech; (G)an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 (H)On that day (I)you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27 for (J)the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and (K)have believed that (L)I came forth from the Father. 28 (M)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and (N)going to the Father.”

29 His disciples *said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and are not [a]using any (O)figure of speech. 30 Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we (P)believe that You (Q)came forth from God.” 31 Jesus replied to them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, (R)an hour is coming, and has already come, for (S)you to be scattered, each to (T)his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet (U)I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you so that (V)in Me you may have peace. (W)In the world you have tribulation, but (X)take courage; (Y)I have overcome the world.”

  1. John 16:29 Lit saying

But if any of you (A)lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and [a]without reproach, and (B)it will be given to him. But he must (C)ask in faith (D)without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, (E)driven and tossed by the wind. For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a (F)[b]double-minded man, (G)unstable in all his ways.

(H)Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10 but the rich person is to glory in his [c]humiliation, because (I)like [d]flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with (J)its scorching heat and (K)withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out.

12 (L)Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has [e]been approved, he will receive (M)the crown of life which the Lord (N)has promised to those who (O)love Him. 13 No one is to say when he is tempted, “(P)I am being tempted [f]by God”; for God cannot be tempted [g]by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then (Q)when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and (R)sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death. 16 (S)Do not be [h]deceived, (T)my beloved brothers and sisters. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is (U)from above, coming down from (V)the Father of lights, (W)with whom there is no variation or [i]shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of (X)His will He (Y)gave us birth by (Z)the word of truth, so that we would be [j]a kind of (AA)first fruits [k]among His creatures.

19 [l](AB)You know this, (AC)my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, (AD)slow to speak, and (AE)slow to anger; 20 for a man’s (AF)anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore, (AG)ridding yourselves of all filthiness and all [m]that remains of wickedness, in [n]humility receive (AH)the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 22 (AI)But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his [o]natural face (AJ)in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, [p]he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, (AK)the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but [q]an active doer, this person will be (AL)blessed in [r]what he does.

26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not [s](AM)bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion (AN)in the sight of our God and Father is this: to (AO)visit (AP)orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained [t]by (AQ)the world.
