1 John 3:22-24 and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight. ²³ And this is His command--that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do. ²⁴ The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.
