The more I have studied this, the more I see there are clear defined lines and consistancy regarding "asking" vs "praising, thanking" etc.

One thing that I cannot figure out and that is why some pray to God in His own name. "in your name, amen". What is this about? Where did this come from? All I can think of is the verses about there is no other name higher etc and God made a promise by His own name since there is none higher. It seems like a total dismissal of what Jesus commanded. I think many do it because they hear others do it. Ministers MUST teach about these things and not ignore them. This is about approaching the Holy One. If it were not important, Jesus would not have taught how to pray and there would not have been such continunity in the scriptures in the pattern of prayer we see from the inspired apostles.
