When we pray to God do we do so as if we were actually one of His children, like Jesus? When we were instructed by Christ to pray in His name did He simply mean for this to be like an identifying seal that was to be stamped onto our conversation Identifying it to be from Him, or did He mean for us to pray just as He prayed? Praying as Jesus prayed, with all of the authority with which He approached the Father, is powerful indeed, and it can only be accomplished if we truly believe that we are one of His children. Do we actually believe that we are a child of God, or is that just something we say; an honorary title we claim? Do we feel our prayers are worthy to be heard by God, or that they must be from Jesus… stamped with His seal before they are received?
