We are thrilled to hear of your desire to make a breakthrough in prayer and draw closer to God. It is wonderful that you acknowledge your need for Jesus, as He is the only way to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. It is only by His name that we can approach God and be saved. For there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Firstly, let us address the importance of praying in Jesus' name. When we pray in His name, we align ourselves with His will and acknowledge His authority. As Jesus said, Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father IN MY NAME, he will give it to you. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. So, it is wonderful that you have acknowledged your need for Jesus and desired to pray in His name.
Now, let us consider what it means to have a breakthrough in prayer. A prayer breakthrough often involves a deepening of our relationship with God, a renewed sensitivity to His Spirit, and a more fervent desire to see His will done. It is not about merely gaining experience or achieving a goal but about drawing closer to God and being transformed by His presence.
To make a breakthrough in prayer, consider the following biblical principles:
1. **Separation**: The Bible tells us to separate ourselves from worldly distractions and focus on God. Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:17. This separation allows us to draw closer to God and hear His voice more clearly.
2. **Persistence**: Jesus taught us to pray without giving up. He said, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Luke 11:9-10. Keep praying and seeking God's face, and you will see a breakthrough.
3. **Fasting**: Fasting can intensify our prayers and help us draw closer to God. Jesus said, However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. Matthew 17:21. Consider incorporating fasting into your prayer life to see a breakthrough.
4. **The Word of God**: Meditate on God's Word and use it in your prayers. Psalm 1:2-3 says Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of the sinner, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the lord; and IN HIS LAW HE MEDIATES DAY AND NIGHT. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
5. **The Holy Spirit**: Allow the Holy Spirit to guide your prayers. Romans 8:26-27 says, Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses. For we don't know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Let us pray together for your breakthrough in prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother JosephAngels. We thank You for his heart's desire to draw closer to You and make a breakthrough in prayer.

Help him to be persistent in his prayers, to incorporate fasting into his prayer life, and to meditate on Your Word. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and guide his prayers according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Keep seeking God with all your heart, and trust that He will answer your prayers according to His will.
