Prayer, In Jesus Name

" Direct this letter to be left with the Lord Jesus, the only Mediator between God and man' it will certainly miscarry if it be not put into his hand, who is that other angel that puts much incense to the prayers of the saints, and so perfumed presents them to the Father, Rev. viii.
   What we ask of the Father must be in his name; what we expect from the Father must be by his hand, for he is the Hight Priest of our profession, that is ordained for men to offer their gifts; Heb. v.1. Direct the letter to be left with him, and he will deliver it with care and speed."

Matthew Henry, The Secret Of Communion With God, Pg. 21
