"Prayer and petition" in the Bible: Philippians 4:6
Anxiety can be crushing and can distract us from what we're supposed to be doing. In this passage in Philippians, we are told to present everything to God by prayer and petition, and to do so with thanksgiving so that we can stay focused on what we should be focusing on.

Prayer in the Bible: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Unity in the Bible: John 17:20-23
When Jesus himself prays for something, we ought to pay careful attention to what he's asking of God. In this case, Christ prays earnestly for the unity of believers, so that we can provide a solid and unbroken witness to the world around us.

Prayer in the Bible: Ephesians 6:18-20
When is the right time to pray? And what are the right things to pray for? In this short passage in Ephesians chapter 6, Paul urges us to pray "in the Spirit" in every circumstance we find ourselves in. He also tells us to pray for him to be bold in sharing the gospel even though he is in chains.

Devotional : Asking God For Help, Part 1
I think we sometimes miss the point of petitioning God. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking God for things we need or even things we want. The important thing to keep in mind is that actually getting the thing we're asking for is the least important part of the whole process....

In this final devotional in the series, we look at the role anxiety plays in our surrender to God. Whenever we find ourselves worrying about the outcome of conflict or crisis, it's an indication that there is something we have failed to do, or something we need to stop doing.

Dutch A Temple Leader Visits Jesus
Dutch: Jesus drives the moneychangers out of the Temple which is a house of prayer. Jesus tells Nicodemus he must be born again. Nicodemus asks how an old man can be born a second time. Jesus says that the spirit must be born from above. This happens when a person believes in Jesus.
