I would estimate that 90% of people who tag "in Jesus' name" onto their prayers aren't actually praying in Jesus' name.

Jesus gave us permission to ask God for anything in His name and He will do it.

This is why people begin or end their prayers with, "In Jesus' name." But let me shake things up a bit.

Jesus wasn't giving us an outro to tag on to our prayers. He was revealing the position we must take when we pray.

We are to show up before God in prayer as if Jesus Himself is showing up.

We must recognize that we are in Christ, so there is no difference between us and Him when it comes to God listening when we pray.

Did God do everything Jesus asked? Yes.

Was Jesus timid in His asking? No.

Take your position in Christ and pray like Jesus Himself is praying.
