2 Corinthians 12 5-2 Corinthians 12 10
In behalf of such a man I will boast; but in my own behalf I will not boast, except regarding my weaknesses.For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.Because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me— to keep me from exalting myself!Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me.And He has said to me,“ My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Psalms 77:1-3

Selah
-
Psalms 143:4-7
Therefore my spirit feels weak within me; My heart is appalled within me.I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your accomplishments; I reflect on the work of Your hands.I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, like a weary land. SelahAnswer me quickly, Lord, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will be the same as those who go down to the pit.
-
Psalms 42:1-5
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, God.My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long,“ Where is your God?”I remember these things and pour out my soul within me. For I used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God, With a voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

Luke 11:1-13
It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, when He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him,“ Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”And He said to them,“ When you pray, say:‘ Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.Give us each day our daily bread.And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation.’ ”And He said to them,“ Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him,‘ Friend, lend me three loaves,because a friend of mine has come to me from a journey and I have nothing to serve him’;and from inside he answers and says,‘ Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything just because he is his friend, yet because of his shamelessness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.“ So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened.Now which one of you fathers will his son ask for a fish, and instead of a fish, he will give him a snake?Or he will even ask for an egg, and his father will give him a scorpion?So if you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
