There is no name in this world greater then the name Jesus. Jesus' name is so powerful when we invoke HIM in prayer for any situation.
Prayer is the greatest need of the soul in us. It is a tremendous power that alone can break all the human chains and bondages. We, as we are, are finite individual, exposed from every side, to many forms of weakness, misery, trial and tragedy. We are never safe on earth. The only way out for us is somehow to touch the Infinite, somehow to associate ourselves with this absolute divine Consciousness, somehow to call upon this Godhead within us, around us, everywhere, somehow to adjust ourselves with the Infinite. And this ‘somehow’ is prayer in any of its numerous and profound forms.
Prayer is something that intimately binds us to the vastness, the power, the nature, the majesty of Godhead. Our prayer should be, if it is to be real, successful, profitable, something that touches the Divine, something that exposes our being to the influence and pressure of the Divine. Every prayer must be a kind of spiritual experience; and, therefore, we have to go to God with a heart full of love, trust, and confidence, with a self that is surrendered to His omnipotent and all-loving Will, with a nature that is submitted to His transforming Grace.
Every prayer should mean to us an act in which we are influenced by God’s Power, moved by God’s Grace, acted upon by God’s Presence. Every prayer should bring about some change in our thoughts, some expansion in our feelings and cause some transformation of our unpleasant nature.
An effective prayer, a true prayer, is a prayer that proceeds from the deepest energies of the human emotion of love, a prayer in which the whole inner being of the human individual rises as a single flame and touches God’s Presence and His Consciousness.
