Praying in the Name of Jesus

In our prayers today, are we asking God to do something for us? Are we asking Him to heal someone, to take care of a personal situation in our family, provide us with a better job, for more money, or any one of a million other daily needs? Well if these are righteous requests that are within God’s will, and we ask Him in the name of Jesus, He will act upon them. The question becomes this… are we committed to our belief in Him when He says He will do these things for us, do we trust Him enough to put whatever it is in His hands, and only do what He asks us to do? Are we within His will in what we have asked? Are we praying as Jesus?

Are our Prayers our Own as Children of God?

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?
