Prayer (19 July 2026)


HOW TO PRAY

Concerning any matter, we need to pray. Now let us consider how to pray.

2. “In My name” John 14:13-14; 15:16; 16:23-24, 26

    We must pray in the Lord’s name when we pray. This does not mean saying “In Jesus’ name” at the end of our prayer. We may say this at the end of our prayers, but to pray in the Lord’s name is not a matter of saying a phrase. It is a matter of being one with the Lord. Only a person who is one with the Lord is in the Lord’s name. Therefore, praying in the Lord’s name means that in the matter of prayer, we are one with the Lord; the Lord’s affairs are our affairs, and our affairs are the Lord’s affairs. This is similar to my writing a check, signing my name, and then asking someone to go to the bank to withdraw the money. Thus, my business becomes his business, and his business is my business. In this matter he is one with me, so he can withdraw money from the bank in my name. When he goes to the bank to withdraw money, he is withdrawing money in my name. In order to withdraw my money, he cannot be in his own name; he must be in my name. He must do it in my name. At that time the bank regards him as if he were me. He is in my name because he and I are one. Similarly, when we pray in the Lord’s name, we are one with the Lord in prayer. We must be one with the Lord in the matter of prayer and allow the Lord’s affairs to become our affairs and our affairs to become the Lord’s affairs. Since this kind of prayer matches the Lord’s will, the Lord willingly answers and accomplishes it.

3. “Abide in Me” John 15:7

    If we want to pray effectively, we must abide in the Lord. This is related to praying in the Lord’s name. These two matters are part of the Lord’s teaching in John 14 through 16 . Praying in the Lord’s name is a result of abiding in the Lord. If we want to pray in the Lord’s name, we must abide in the Lord. In John 14 through 16 the Lord speaks of abiding in Him, and He also speaks of praying in His name. Abiding in the Lord is based on being one with the Lord and fellowshipping with the Lord. It is the practical experience of being one with the Lord. When we abide in the Lord, fellowship with Him, and are one with Him practically in our experience, we spontaneously pray in His name. The prayer that comes out of the Lord spontaneously through our abiding in Him matches His heart’s desire; therefore, He will answer and accomplish what we ask. We must eliminate the separation between us and the Lord and fellowship with Him constantly in order to be up to the standard of the Lord and His heart’s desire.
