2 Chronicles 33:12-13

12 And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God ^aand humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 He prayed to him, and ^bGod was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. ^cThen Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

2 Chronicles 33:18-19

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and ^dhis prayer to his God, and the words of ^ethe seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the ^fChronicles of the Kings of Israel. 19 And his prayer, and how ^gGod was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites ^hon which he built high places and set up the ⁱAsherim and the images, before ^jhe humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers. ^{▼▼One Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint; most Hebrew manuscripts of Hozai}

Psalms 10:17

17 O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will ^lstrengthen their heart; you will incline your ear

Isaiah 55:6-9

6 ^m“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 ⁿFor as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Luke 11:8-10

8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything ^obecause he is his friend, yet because of his impudence ^{▼▼Or persistence} he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ^qask, and ^rit will be given to you; ^sseek, and you will find; ^tknock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Luke 18:13-14

13 But the tax collector, ^ustanding far off, ^vwould not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but ^wbeat his breast, saying, ‘God, ^xbe merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For ^yeveryone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
