³¹ Now we know that ^(A)God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words ^(A)abide in you, ^(B)you^[a] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

^5 (A)If any of you lacks wisdom, ^(B)let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and ^(C)it will be given to him. ^6 (D)But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

Meeting Specific Needs^(A)

¹³ Is anyone among you suffering? Let him ^(B)pray. Is anyone cheerful? ^(C)Let him sing psalms. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, ^(D)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. ^(E)And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ^16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ^(F)The effective, ^[b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. ¹⁷ Elijah was a man ^(G)with a nature like ours, and ^(H)he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed ^(I)again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
