Jesus: Praying in My (Jesus') Name
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
John 14:14
“Jesus” is the name through whom you get your prayers answered. God created humans to have daily needs; that way, they will depend on God and cry out daily to Him. “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8). Through your prayer, God will provide your needs, but you must ask in Jesus’ name. “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do” (John 14:13).
In Jesus’ name, I ask for strength to make it through this day. In Jesus’ name, I ask for wisdom to make good decisions. In Jesus’ name, I ask for guidance through my problems.
Why must you pray in Jesus’ name? First, Jesus told you to ask in His name. Next, you come to the Father through Jesus’ cleansing blood. Finally, Jesus is your Intercessor at the right hand of the Father; in Him you have “a new and living way . . . through the veil” (Hebrews 10:20). Therefore, ask in Jesus’ name, because “There is one . . . Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Ask in Jesus’ name, because no one is closer to the Father than Jesus Christ, and you are as close to the heart of God as His Son when you come in Jesus’ name.
In the name of Jesus, I ask for forgiveness of sins so that I can intercede to the Father. Through the intercession of the Son, I ask that You would hear me. Amen.
