WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME

WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME

The foundation of prayer lies in a relationship with the Lord,
It begins with faith in Jesus and being made the sons of God.
God is now Abba, Father- this is a truly awesome thought,
This privilege was made possible because we are blood-bought!

Jesus taught His disciples to learn to pray in His holy name,
He assured them that their efforts would never be in vain.
The Father hears His children call out to Him in their hour of need,
The answers to our prayer confirm that we are sons indeed!

Prayer offers opportunities to build a relationship with God,
Jesus taught His disciples how to pray by His own record.
The dawn would find Him begin the day in gentle communion,
The night would see Him speak to His Father in tender union.

Praying in the name of Jesus was never meant to be a means,
Just breathing His precious name moves the heart to remain clean.
Pleading in the name of Jesus touches the Father’s heart,
He honours the one, who praying in faith, makes unbelief depart.

John 16:23
