John 14:1-14
1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God ; trust also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
4 You know the way to the place where I am going."
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

REFLECT

Why do we end our prayers with the words,' In Jesus' name'. By praying in Jesus' name, we mean praying in harmony with His will.Are we certain that when we ask in the saviour's name we are in line with Jesus's course of action. Don't we ask for things that we are certain God may not want us to have? At such times its wise to admit that uncertainty and say, as Jesus did: ' yet not my will, but yours be done'( Luke 22:42)

C.S.Lewis - Prayer is request.The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infi-nitely wise being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them.

ACT

Pray that our prayers will be in accordance to His will.
