Psalm chapter 106 verse 8

yet he saved them for his name's sake

that he might make known his mighty power.

Oh, what a great simple picture of what we see all throughout scripture that God does all that he does ultimately for his names sake, for the glory of his name.

And I want us to think about how this changes the way we pray.

For anything, for everything in our lives and others lives in the world,

there's a sense in which all of our prayers should end in for your

name's sake that you might make known your mighty power when we pray for things in our lives to ask God for

his help for his namesake for his glory in our lives. We ask God to lead us and guide us for his name's sake.

Just what Psalm 23 says, he leads, guides them in paths of righteousness for his names sake.

As we ask God to provide for us in different ways, God, do it for your names sake, for your glory.

And then as we pray for others, God save this person for your namesake.

God help this person for your namesake.

And as we pray for all kinds of things in the church,

God, help our church to grow in health

in this way or that way, for your name's sake.

As we pray for different things in the world,

God we pray for peace among the nations

for your name's sake as the giver and the author of peace show

your power in all these ways that result in your glory after all this is how Jesus

taught us to pray our Father in heaven
