Matthew 6:8

New American Bible - revised edition

Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. The Lord’s Prayer.

See the chapter Copy

I am numb and utterly crushed; I wail with anguish of heart.

All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
