The Westminster Larger Catechism

Q.180. What is the significance of praying in Christ’s name?

A. When we pray in Christ’s name, we obey his command and confidently rely on his promises as a basis for requesting mercy for his sake.[1] This involves not just mentioning his name[2] but drawing our encouragement to pray and our boldness, strength, and hope that our prayers will be answered from Christ himself and his mediation.[3]
