On account of the importance of prayer in the name of Jesus, David invites all Christians to the practice of this prayer.
"Praise the Lord, ye children, praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord, from now and forever. From sunrise till sunset His name is worthy of praise" (Ps. 112:1–3). - "Offer to the Lord glory to His name, worship the Lord in His holy court" (Ps. 28:2).
Pray in this way so that in your prayers the greatness of the name of Jesus may be manifested, and by its power you may rise to the inner temple not made with hands (the temple of the heart) and worship in spirit and truth.
Pray carefully and constantly. Pray in fear and trembling before the greatness of the name of Jesus, and let them trust in Thee, the almighty and all-good Jesus, who know Thy name from their own blessed experience, for Thou hast never forsaken them that seek Thee, O Lord (Ps. 9:11).
