Day 12: The Name Above Every Name
“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name.” — Philippians 2:9 (NIV)
In the Lord's Prayer, when Jesus teaches us to pray, “Hallowed be Your name,” He is reminding us that God’s name is not just a title—it represents His character, His authority, and His power. Throughout the Word of God, God reveals Himself through His name so that His people will know who He is and how they can trust Him.
Later, Jesus tells His disciples something even more profound: we can ask the Father in His name. The name of Jesus carries authority. It stands above every fear, every sickness, every failure, and every situation that feels too big for us.
Praying in the name of Jesus is not a formula we tack onto the end of a prayer. It’s a declaration of trust. It’s saying, “I’m not coming to God based on my own goodness or strength. I’m coming because of who Jesus is and what He has already done.”
When you pray in His name, you are declaring that you don’t stand alone. You come covered by grace. You come with access. You come with confidence—not because life is easy, but because Jesus has already overcome.
Whatever you are facing today, the name of Jesus is not powerless or distant. It is present, active, and sufficient.
As you pray today, be intentional about praying in the name of Jesus—not casually, but confidently. Speak His name over the situations that feel overwhelming, and trust that His authority is greater than what you see.
Take a moment to reflect:
What situations in your life right now feel bigger than you? How does remembering the authority of Jesus’ name change how you approach those situations in prayer?
