"If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."
~ John 14:14
What a wise promise! We are always to ask in the name of Jesus. While this encourages us, it also honors Him. The name of Jesus is as mighty at assurance.
What an instructive prayer! I may not ask for anything to which I cannot put Christ's hand and seal. I dare not use my Lord's name to a selfish or willful petition. I may only use my Lord's name to prayers that He would Himself pray. It is a high privilege to be authorized to ask in the name of Jesus as if Jesus Himself asked.
Am I asking for that which Jesus approves? Dare I put His seal to my prayer? Then I have that which I seek of the Father." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us no into temtation, but deliver us from all evil: For Thine is Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
