“Praying with Purpose”
📖 “…that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”
—John 15:16b (NKJV)
You’ve probably heard someone end a prayer with, “In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
But have you ever stopped to ask what that really means?
Jesus wasn’t giving a tagline.
He was teaching us how to pray with purpose and alignment.
To pray in His name means praying in agreement with who He is—His heart, His Word, His will.
It’s not about getting what we want.
It’s about desiring what He wants—and asking boldly for it.
You’re not invisible. You’ve been chosen and appointed.
God isn’t ignoring you. He’s waiting for prayers that come from a heart that’s abiding in Christ.
Challenge:
- What’s one thing you’ve been praying about that needs to be realigned with Jesus’ heart?
- Try praying today with more focus on what He desires than what you want.
Prayer:
Jesus, I don’t want to just pray out of habit. Teach me to ask for things that matter to You. Help me live and pray in a way that honors Your name. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
