in him and through him

And whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, so that the father may be glorified in the son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. (Jesus, speaking in John 14:13-14)

A PRAYER:

With what shall we come before you, O Father? Or bow ourselves in your presence, O you Most High God?

Cause us to come unto you in faith: mentioning no other name, pleading no other righteousness, and trusting in no other atonement than the Name, righteousness, and atonement of your blessed Son and our adorable Mediator, Jesus, the Messiah.

In him, we desire to be found; through him, we hope for favor with you, and acceptance in your sight. Blessed be your goodness for the mercies of the day, for the blessings of your providence, the comforts of your Spirit, and the privileges we enjoy.

Yes, and very amen, in Jesus’ name.
