For The Sake Of Your Name
For The Sake Of Your Name
"For your name’s sake, O LORD." Psalm 25:11
When you pray you want to be sure that you make your appeal to God on solid footing. There is no more solid footing than to make your appeal for the sake of God's name.
Frequently throughout the Bible, women and men of God receive significant and dramatic answers to prayer when they make their appeal to God's name--when they pray for the sake of God's name.
Psalm 25 was written when David was in trouble- enemies were dead set against him and his back was up against the wall. He could have squirmed, pouted, or retreated in defeat. Instead he prayed for the sake of God's name.
When you pray, you ultimately want to pray not for your sake, or for someone else's sake. You want to make your appeal for God's sake--for his name's sake.
Today you can squirm, pout, or retreat in defeat. Or you can pray, for your name’s sake, O LORD.
Loving Father, you know the enemies who stand against me. But today I pray for the sake of your name. Show the glory of your mighty name. Defeat my enemies for the sake of your name.
