Scripture
“Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.”
John 16:24 HCSB
Pray
Father You know my needs, wants, and desires. Some things are of greater priority than others, only because they impact other people beyond myself. I humbly ask for these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Reflection
I can recall that for many years I never asked God for anything in Jesus’ name. I was disconnected from what and whom Jesus really was and is in my life, as the Son of God, and as our first proof of life after we shed our human shells.
Jesus said that it is only through him do we reach our Father. Only through him do we find and know the Truth. Only through him do we see our ability to bear the cross and carry those dreaded yokes.
I’m grateful for my strengthened relationship with Jesus which in turn has led to a strengthened relationship with God.
How is your relationship with Jesus?
