Isaiah 27:11

11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
^aFor this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.

Isaiah 55:6-7

6 ^b“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.

Matthew 7:7-11

Ask, and It Will Be Given

7 ^c“Ask, ^dand it will be given to you; ^eseek, and you will find; ^fknock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for ^gbread, will give him ^ha stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, ⁱwho are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will ^jyour Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

8 ^kThree times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, ^l“My grace is sufficient for you, for ^mmy power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that ⁿthe power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 ^oFor the sake of Christ, then, ^pI am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For ^qwhen I am weak, then I am strong.

Philippians 4:6-7

6 ^rdo not be anxious about anything, ^sbut in everything by prayer and supplication ^twith thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And ^uthe peace of God, ^vwhich surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 2:10

10 ^wOnce you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
