"When we use these sacred words, 'in the name of Jesus Christ,' they
are much more than a way to get out of a prayer or out of a testimony
or out of a talk. We are on holy ground, brothers and sisters. We are
using a name most sublime, most holy, and most wonderful-the very name
of the Son of God. We are now able to come unto the Father through His
Beloved Son. What power and reassurance and peace come when we really
pray in His name. This conclusion to the prayer may, in many ways, be
the most important part of the prayer. We can appeal to the Father
through His victorious Son with confidence that our prayers will be
heard. We can ask and receive, we can seek and find and subsequently
find the open door." - L. Edward Brown, "Pray
unto
the Father in My Name," General Conference, April 1997

Oh, [Jesus] could have
chosen so many ways to begin the prayer: “O mighty Creator of heaven
and earth, O mighty God who is omnipresent, omniscient, or
omnipotent.” These grand titles contain grand and noble truths. But
He taught in one single word, “Father,” so very much that we need to
know, that indeed we long to know. God is our Father. And we are His
children. - L. Edward Brown, “Pray
unto the Father in My Name,” Ensign (CR) April 1997
