\u201cAnd He said to them,\u00a0\u201cCome aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.\u201d\u00a0For\u00a0there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.\u00a032\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.\u201d<\/p>Mark 6:31-32<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased,\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0one of His disciples said to Him, \u201cLord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.\u201d<\/p>

2\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So He said to them,\u00a0\u201cWhen you pray, say:<\/p>

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as\u00a0it is<\/em>\u00a0in heaven.
3\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Give us day by day our daily bread.
4\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And\u00a0forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.\u201d<\/p>

And He said to them,\u00a0\u201cWhich of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, \u2018Friend, lend me three loaves;\u00a06\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him\u2019;\u00a07\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>and he will answer from within and say, \u2018Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you\u2019?\u00a08\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>I say to you,\u00a0though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.<\/p>

9\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cSo I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you;\u00a0seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.\u00a010\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.\u00a011\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>If a son asks for\u00a0bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if\u00a0he asks<\/em>\u00a0for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?\u00a012\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?13\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>If you then, being evil, know how to give\u00a0good gifts to your children, how much more will\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!\u201d<\/p>Luke 11:1-13<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Old Testament Passage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and\u00a0called it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass\u00a0that everyone who\u00a0sought the\u00a0Lord\u00a0went out to the tabernacle of meeting which\u00a0was\u00a0outside the camp.\u00a08\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle,\u00a0that\u00a0all the people rose, and each man stood\u00a0at\u00a0his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle.\u00a09\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood\u00a0at\u00a0the door of the tabernacle, and\u00a0the\u00a0Lord talked with Moses.\u00a010\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing\u00a0at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and\u00a0worshiped, each man\u00a0in his tent door.\u00a011\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but\u00a0his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.\u201d <\/p>Exodus 33:7-11<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
