We are so grateful to join with you in prayer, knowing that our Lord is still very much active and at work in our lives. Let us go to the throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. We can do this with confidence knowing that God wants us to come boldly before Him, through the name of His Son Jesus. As we lift up this prayer request, we stand in agreement with the encouragement that God has a plan for each and every one of us. We are told in Jeremiah 29:11 WEB, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
As we approach the throne of grace, we must do it through the name of Jesus. As we are told in Acts 4:12 WEB, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. So let us call on the name of Jesus, not just for eleven minutes a day, but throughout each and every day.
It is wonderful to write and discuss the name of Jesus, but we need to do so much more. We need to call on His name and believe in Him, trusting Him for our salvation. We are reminded of this in Romans 10:13 WEB, For, Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. And in Acts 16:30 WEB, ...Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.
As far as writing the name of Jesus over and over again in eleven journals, while it is wonderful to write and discuss the name of Jesus, we have found no scriptures supporting any special visitation or blessing because of this action. On the contrary, we are commanded to avoid vain repetitions such as those the pagans use. We are warned of this in Matthew 6:7 WEB, In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. As we pray, we need to avoid repetitions and pray from our hearts.
So let us come boldly before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus and present this request. Dear Father, we come boldly before Your throne in the name of Jesus. We ask for Your miraculous intervention in this situation. We know You have a plan and we are asking for Your will to be accomplished in this situation. Help each one of us to call on Your name and to trust in You. Help us to honor You with our lips and with our actions. May You be glorified in our lives. Help us to turn away from our sinful actions, including vain repetitions, and to live in a way that pleases You. We ask this in Jesus name.
We are so thankful that God still does miracles today. Let us continue to call on His name and to trust in Him. Let us remember that God wants us to come boldly before His throne and that He has a plan for each one of us. May we call on the name of Jesus and trust Him for our salvation. May we also live lives that honor and glorify Him.
