Jesus said in John's Gospel, ch. 15, verse 17, "if you ask anything in my name, I will do it." That's been my breath prayer for the day.
I know it sounds like it's magic: just say the right incantation, and you will get anything you want.
Or it sounds like a legalism: you are supposed to end every prayer by saying, "in Jesus' name. Amen."
But I think it means to pray like Jesus prayed, for the things Jesus prayed. So today like most days, I simple lift people and situations up to Jesus, and ask, "Jesus, what is your prayer for this person?" That's what I think it means to pray in Jesus' name.

Love,
