Philippians assumes prayer and daily dependence and shows what it looks like in practice.
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.
Colossians treats prayer and honest petition as something its first readers had to work out rather than something handed to them ready-made.
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew pairs prayer and daily dependence with a concrete instruction rather than leaving it as an idea.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
The argument of Psalms gives prayer and honest petition its meaning here; the line is not self-contained.
