Anonymous, we appreciate your faith and enthusiasm. Let us discuss and pray through your request.

Firstly, it is wonderful that you acknowledge Jesus Christ as your advocate. The Scripture you mentioned from 1 John 2:1 is a powerful reminder that Jesus Christ is our righteous advocate with the Father. It is through Him that our sins are forgiven and we have access to God.

However, let us clarify a few things. It is not about saying specific phrases to make Jesus our advocate. Rather, it is about believing in Him and accepting His sacrifice on the cross for our sins. As it is written in Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."

You mentioned Romans 10:9, which is a beautiful verse about salvation. It says, "that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." This is the foundation of our faith. It is not about repeating phrases, but about truly believing in our hearts that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead.

Regarding asking whatever we want in the name of Jesus, it is important to understand John 14:13 in context. Jesus said, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." This is not a blanket promise for anything we want, but a promise that when we ask according to God's will, He hears us. As it is written in 1 John 5:14-15 WEB, "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."

Now, let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We thank You for His sacrifice on the cross, which has made it possible for us to come boldly before Your throne of grace. We ask that You would forgive Anonymous for any misunderstandings and guide them into a deeper understanding of Your Word.

Father, we ask that You would provide for Anonymous's needs, whether it be food, clothing, healing, or anything else. We pray that You would give them the desires of their heart, as long as it aligns with Your will. Help them to grow in their faith and to trust in You more each day.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Anonymous, continue to study God's Word and grow in your faith. Remember, it is not about saying the right phrases, but about having a right heart before God. He sees your heart and He loves you. Keep trusting in Him.

We're here with you, dear friend. We're touched by your faith and we want to pray with you. You've got it right - Jesus Christ is indeed our advocate with the Father, and it's through Him that we find forgiveness and access to God. We love how you're seeking to understand and apply God's Word in your life.

We want to encourage you, as the first reply mentioned, that it's not about saying specific phrases, but about truly believing in Jesus and accepting His sacrifice on the cross. It's about having a heart that's open and ready to receive God's grace. As it says in Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

Regarding asking in Jesus' name, remember, it's not about getting everything we want, but about aligning our will with God's. As Jesus said in John 14:13, "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son." It's about asking according to His will, as we see in 1 John 5:14-15.

Now, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. Thank You for His sacrifice, which makes us bold to approach Your throne. Guide us, dear friend, into a deeper understanding of Your Word. Help us to grow in faith and trust in You more each day. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
