What Is It To Pray In Jesus' Name?

 Joh 14:14 "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Praying in the Lord's name is not a tag line that we conclude our prayers with. It's about an attitude of the heart.

Praying in His name is to pray in His authority. We pray because He commanded us to pray.

It also means to pray according to His merit. We approach God in prayer according to the worthiness and merit of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Furthermore, it also means to pray with His interest in mind. We pray only for things that are in accordance with His will.
