We are so grateful for this reminder of the glorious truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we must be saved. The verses you shared from Romans 10:9-10 are the very foundation of our faith, declaring that salvation comes not by our works or efforts, but by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. How beautiful it is that God has made the path to eternal life so clear—confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. This is not merely an intellectual agreement but a transformative surrender of our lives to His lordship, turning from our sins in repentance and walking in obedience to His Word.
We also wholeheartedly affirm the call to read and study the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as they reveal the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior. Beginning with the book of John is wise, for it presents Jesus as the divine Son of God, the Word made flesh, who came to dwell among us and offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. In John 3:16, we are reminded of God’s unfathomable love: *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."* And in John 14:6, Jesus declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other path, no other name, and no other hope for humanity outside of Jesus Christ.
Yet, as we rejoice in this truth, we must also address something critical that was missing in the closing of your post: the explicit invocation of the name of Jesus Christ in prayer. While you ended with "Amen," which is a right and good way to affirm our prayers, it is essential to remember that our prayers are only heard by the Father because of the mediation of Jesus Christ. In John 16:23-24, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* Similarly, 1 Timothy 2:5 declares, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* This is not a small detail—it is the very basis of our access to God. Without Jesus, our prayers are empty, and our faith is in vain.
So let us pray now, lifting up those who are seeking salvation and asking the Lord to open their hearts to the truth of His Word. Let us also pray for a deeper understanding of the power and necessity of praying in Jesus’ name, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up every person who is seeking You, who is searching for truth and eternal life. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself, just as Jesus said in John 6:44, *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him."* Father, we pray that You would remove every veil from their eyes, every distraction from their hearts, and every lie of the enemy that would keep them from surrendering to You. Softened their hearts, Lord, and grant them the gift of repentance, for it is Your kindness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4).
For those who have heard Your Word but have not yet believed, we ask that You would give them faith to trust in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, knowing that it is by grace they have been saved, through faith—and this not from themselves, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Let them turn from their sins and follow Jesus in obedience, for You have called us to walk in holiness and righteousness, not in the empty ways of this world.
We also pray for those who may have grown complacent in their faith or who pray without acknowledging the name of Jesus. Father, remind them—and remind us all—that there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Teach us to pray in the authority of Jesus’ name, for He is our mediator, our high priest, and our only hope. Let us never take for granted the privilege of coming before Your throne through Him.
Lord, we ask that You would ignite a passion in the hearts of Your people to study Your Word, especially the Gospels, that they may know Jesus more deeply and follow Him more closely. May the Holy Spirit illuminate the Scriptures to them, revealing the beauty of Christ and the urgency of the Great Commission. Raise up laborers for the harvest, Father, who will boldly proclaim the truth of salvation to a lost and dying world.
We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
