Praying in the Name of Jesus


Morning Psalm 34; Genesis 12:1-7; Hebrews 11:1-12
Evening Psalm 33; John 6:35-42, 48-51
When I pray “in the name of Jesus”, I put my faith in what God wants. Praying “in the name of Jesus” does not guarantee the prayer is true to him – especially if it’s all about me. If I say ‘yes’ to what God wants, I make myself ready to be transformed. Answers to prayer come when God empowers us to be agents of transformation in the world. Prayer is not only voicing my concerns; it is listening to God’s concerns, and acting on them. In Jesus, God offers us strength and inspiration to live for him.
