Automatically, perhaps. Even unthinkingly. <\/p>\n<p>Many Christians pray <a href=\"\/node\/77970\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cin Jesus\u2019 name.\u201d<\/a> It\u2019s a common coda to our prayers. For many of us, it\u2019s something we learned to say early in our praying lives, in keeping with what Jesus told His followers: \u201cWhatever you ask in My name the Father will give you\u201d (John 15:16, NIV). But what does it mean? And are we using it properly? <\/p>\n<p>When my father entered a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/after-retirement-variety-keeps-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retirement community<\/a>, he signed a sheaf of papers granting me \u201cpower of attorney.\u201d It was, of course, a safeguard. If he became unable to pay his own bills, make his own decisions, or even sign his name (as eventually happened), I was empowered to act on his behalf, with the understanding that I should (if possible) consult him and always act in keeping with his wishes.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s something like what it means to pray \u201cin Jesus\u2019 name.\u201d It\u2019s not an addendum. It\u2019s not punctuation. It\u2019s empowerment to speak and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily_devotional\/jesus-voice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">act on Jesus\u2019 behalf<\/a>, with the understanding that we should consult Him and always act in keeping with His wishes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an echo of Jesus\u2019 own prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane, when He repeatedly prayed, \u201cNot My will, but Yours be done\u201d (Luke 22:42, NIV). Or, as He told His followers, \u201cI can&#8217;t do anything on My own. As I listen [to the Father], I make My judgments. My judgments are right because I don&#8217;t try to do what I want but what the one who sent Me wants\u201d (John 5:30, GWT). <\/p>\n<p>That is why, as Mother Teresa said, \u201cListening is the beginning of prayer.\u201d And author Robert Benson agrees, saying, \u201cI need to listen, listen for the prayer of God that is rising in my heart, perhaps for the prayer that I should be praying rather than the one that I am praying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m going to truly pray \u201cin the name of Jesus,\u201d I must begin by asking and listening to discern what Jesus wants. My hope is to think His thoughts and then to act in keeping with His will. <em>Then<\/em> I will begin to experience the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-faith-prayer\/how-a-band-aid-is-a-reminder-of-jesus-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fulfillment of Jesus\u2019 promises<\/a> about prayer, those promises that seem to go unfulfilled when my prayers are focused on what I want, how I want it and when I want it. Not that sometimes God doesn\u2019t surprise me by <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/true-stories-of-answered-prayer\/rebekah-of-the-bible-an-answered-prayer-for-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">answering those prayers<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m hoping that the prayers I pray in my own name, so to speak, may decrease, and I may more habitually listen for the prayer of God that is rising in my heart, and pray <em>that<\/em>\u2026in Jesus\u2019 name.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We do it all the time.
