The phrase, name of the LORD, is used only once in the book of Proverbs. The name represents the Lord Himself... His presence, and His power.
Praying in Jesus’ name means praying with His authority, and petitioning God the Father to act upon those prayers because we come in the name of His Son. Jesus is the mediator between us and God. He is God, and He was also a man.
1 Timothy 2:5 (NKJV) For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
If we remember that the ultimate victory has already been won by Christ Himself, we can claim the peace of Christ in the most troublesome times. He alone is a strong tower in whom we find true security.
