Matthew 6:8

Tree of Life Version

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

See the chapter Copy

I am numb and utterly crushed. I groan because of anguish in my heart.

For the pagans eagerly pursue all these things; yet your Father in heaven knows that you need all these.

For all the nations of the world strive after these things. But your Father knows that you need these things.

Do not be anxious about anything—but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
