Today God says:
 "Pray in the name of Jesus, and your joy will be full".

He promises me:
  "Hitherto, have you asked nothing in My name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full". (John 16:24)

My response to the word:
  Jesus invites us to pray in His name - a key to answered prayer. When I ask the Father for my needs to be met in the name of Jesus, I will receive His answers, and my joy will be full. Nehemiah said, "The joy of the Lord is your strength". In Jesus' name I receive this promise of answered prayer and fullness of joy.

My prayer:
  Thank you, Lord, for promising to answer me when I pray in Jesus' name. This promise gives me joy, answered prayer gives me joy, and knowing you gives me joy.

Today's scriptures:
 "I will do anything you ask the Father in My name so that the Father will be given glory because of the Son. If you ask Me to do something, I will do it". (John 14:13 GW) "May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in Him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit". (Rom. 15:13 GW) "Although you have never seen Christ, you love Him. You don't see Him now, but you believe in Him". (1 Peter 1:8 GW)  

Quote for today:
As a sound may dislodge an avalanche, so the prayer of faith sets in motion the power of God. (Mrs Charles Cowman)
