Morning

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be enquired of.

Yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh the door shall be opened.--This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.--If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him.--I [am] the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.-- Men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their cry.--[The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.--Ye shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me.-- Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Evening

Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.--O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.--It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.

Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of [thy] judgments.

He shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver.--Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.--It is enough for the disciple that he should be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household?--Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

But rejoice, seeing ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.--These are they who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
