If you pray thus, your prayer will be heard; for he who asks in the right way shall receive, and for him who continually knocks shall the gate be opened.

Is there a father among you who would give his child a stone when he asks for bread?
And if a poor man grants his child's request, how much more the mighty, good Father in heaven.

But be not too anxious for your daily needs: such anxiety spoils pure pleasure.

If you heap up material goods, then death comes.

Gather not the treasures which pass away; gather spiritual treasures to your inner profit, treasures which your Heavenly Father stores up into life eternal.
