A Prayer of Jesus

by

The possibilities of prayer reach to all things. Whatever concerns our highest welfare, and whatever has to do with God’s plans and purposes concerning His church on earth, is a subject for prayer. In “whatsoever ye shall ask,” is embraced all that concerns us. And whatever is left out of “whatsoever” is left out of prayer. Where will we draw the lines which leave out or which will limit the word “whatsoever”? Define it, and search out and publish the things which the word does not include. If “whatsoever” does not include all things, then add to it the word “anything.” “If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)

A Prayer of Jesus

To pray in Christ’s name is therefore to be identified with Christ as to our righteousness, and to be identified with Christ in our desires by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. To pray in the Spirit, to pray according to the will of the Father, to pray in Christ’s name, are identical expressions. The Father Himself loveth us, and is willing to hear us: two intercessors, Christ the Advocate above, and the Holy Ghost, the Advocate within, are the gifts of His love.

Two lines in this prayer offered by our Lord contrast the horror of the cross with the victory it represents. Jesus knew what suffering awaited Him. Yet He also was certain in His resolve to finish the work for which He had come: to redeem humanity and to bring lasting glory to the name of the Father.

The answer of our Lord’s prayer was the proof of His mission from God, as the answer to Elijah’s prayer was made to the woman whose son he raised to life. She said, “Now by this I know that thou art a man of God.” He is highest in the favor of God who has the readiest access and the greatest number of answers to prayer from Almighty God.

A Prayer of Jesus

When we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” we are, in a measure, shutting tomorrow out of our prayer. We do not live in tomorrow but in today. We do not seek tomorrow’s grace or tomorrow’s bread. They thrive best, and get most out of life, who live in the living present. They pray best who pray for today’s needs, not for tomorrow’s, which may render our prayers unnecessary and redundant by not existing at all! (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)

A Prayer of Acknowledgement

by

Those who let God be Father always and in everything, who live their whole lives in the Father’s presence and love, who allow God in all the greatness of His love to be a Father to them, they will experience most gloriously that a life in God’s infinite Fatherliness and continual answers to prayer are inseparable.

A Prayer of Repentance

by

Certain sins, sadly, are found in one generation after another within a family. Sins like drunkenness, dishonesty, rebellion against God, adultery, and many others. If such a sin is evident, the only recourse – the only way to achieve true freedom from this cycle – is to turn to Christ and ask Him, by the indwelling power of His Holy Spirit, to break the chains of iniquity so that they will bind and enslave no more.
