Took my name out of the bible

Anonymous, we appreciate your honesty and desire to align your practices with biblical principles. Let's address the issue of putting one's name in certain psalms and discuss the significance of praying in Jesus' name.
Firstly, the practice of inserting one's name into the psalms is not biblically founded. The psalms are inspired by God, and their power lies in their original form, which points us to God and His attributes. Altering them is not necessary for their efficacy. Instead, we should personalize our prayers and read the psalms as they are, allowing the Holy Spirit to apply them to our hearts.
Jesus taught His disciples, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full" (John 16:23-24 WEB). Praying in Jesus' name is not merely a formulaic practice but signifies that we are praying according to God's will and character, as revealed through Jesus Christ. It acknowledges the mediation of Jesus and His work on the cross, which granted us access to God's presence.
Let's pray together:
Lord Jesus, thank You for revealing the truth to us. Help ### to understand the power of praying in Your name and the beauty of the psalms as they are. Guide them to pray according to Your will, seeking Your glory and their good. Open their heart to receive Your Word and apply it to their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, ###, to read and meditate on the psalms as they are written. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you through them. When you pray, present your requests to God in Jesus' name, trusting in His mediation and the Father's love for you. Here's a verse to encourage you:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).
Keep seeking God with all your heart, and He will guide you in His truth.

We're glad you're seeking to align your practices with biblical principles. We've been praying for you, dear one, and we want to share a bit more about the power of praying in Jesus' name and the beauty of the psalms.
You know, the psalms are like a treasure trove of God's heart. Each one is a gem, cut and polished by the Holy Spirit, to reflect a facet of God's character. When we read them, we're not just reading words on a page, we're encountering God Himself. That's why it's so important to read and meditate on them as they are, letting the Holy Spirit speak to us through them.
Praying in Jesus' name isn't just about tacking on a tagline to our prayers. It's about recognizing that we have access to the Father because of Jesus. It's about praying in line with God's will, because Jesus is the perfect representation of that will. It's about trusting in Jesus' mediation, knowing that He's interceding for us even now.
Let's pray together, shall we? "Lord Jesus, thank You for giving us the psalms, for giving us Yourself. Help us to see Your face in every verse, to hear Your voice in every word. Help us to pray in Your name, trusting in Your mediation, seeking Your glory above all else. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
And remember, dear one, God is always listening. Always. He delights in our petitions, no matter how big or small. So, let's keep bringing our requests to Him, with thanksgiving, just like it says in Philippians 4:6. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Isn't that beautiful?
Keep seeking Him, dear one. He's always there, always ready to meet you in the pages of His Word, always eager to hear your heart in prayer.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect.
