Joh 14:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : Jesus repeats His promise: “If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14 ). To pray in Jesus’ name means to trust in His merit and intercession for us. In the Old Testament, people prayed “for the Lord’s sake” or “for the sake of the anointed.” Now, through Jesus, we can ask clearly in His name. Praying in our own name does not guarantee an answer, but praying in Jesus’ name honors Him in heaven. When we pray in His name, our greatest desire should be God’s glory. Jesus encourages His followers to trust Him and pray boldly, confident that He will answer for God’s glory.
