I just got off the phone with a brother who has recently gone “through the mill” in life. In the past year, he has lost his wife due to cancer among other things.
He made one statement that has rung in the hollows of my brain ever since. “I’ve been counseled to pray ”In Your name“ as opposed to ”in Jesus’ name.“ the point is the emphasis on a more personal communication. Rather than praying in the name of Jesus as in the 3rd person, I am to pray in the 2nd person - ”in Your name.“”
Makes sense, doesn’t it?
