Questions 181 – 190
Q. 181. Why are we to pray in the name of Christ?
A. The sinfulness of man separates man a great distance from God. This distance is so great that we can have no access into His presence without a mediator.a There is none in heaven or earth appointed to, or fit for, that glorious work, except Christ alone.b Therefore, we are to pray in no other name except His only.c

Q. 182. How does the Spirit help us to pray?
A. We do not know what to pray for as we ought. Therefore, the Spirit helps our infirmities, by enabling us to understand both for whom and what, and how, prayer is to be made. He works in, and enlivens, our hearts to those perceptions, comprehensions, emotions [or desires], and graces that are necessary for the right performance of that duty. However, He does not work in the same measure in all persons or at all times.

2 Chronicles 20:6, 10-12 (WEB) Back
6 and he said, “Yahweh, the God of our fathers,
aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the
nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand
you.
10 Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab
and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the
land of Egypt, but they turned away from them, and didn’t destroy them;
11 behold, how they reward us, to come to cast
us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we
have no might against this great company that comes against us. We don’t know
what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
Psalm 83 (ESV) Back
1A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not
keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! 2For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads. 3They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your treasured ones. 4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a
nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” 5For they conspire with one accord; against
you they make a covenant— 6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites, 7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the
inhabitants of Tyre; 8Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong
arm of the children of Lot. Selah 9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and
Jabin at the river Kishon, 10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became
dung for the ground. 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their
princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12who said, “Let us take possession for
ourselves of the pastures of God.” 13O my God, make them like whirling dust,
like chaff before the wind. 14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame
sets the mountains ablaze, 15so may you pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane! 16Fill their faces with shame, that they may
seek your name, O Lord. 17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let
them perish in disgrace, 18that they may know that you alone, whose
name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
Psalm 83 (KJ3) Back
1¶ A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O
God do not keep silence to Yourself; do not be speechless; yea, do not be
still, O God.
2 For behold, Your enemies are
roaring; and those who hate You have lifted up their head.
3 They take shrewd counsel against
Your people; they plot against Your hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and we
will cut them off from being a nation; and, The name of Israel will not
be recalled again.
5 For they conspired with one
heart; they have cut a covenant against You;
6 even the tents of Edom, and of the
Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites;
7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia and those living in Tyre.
8 Also Assyria has joined with
them; they were an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.
9¶ Do to them as to Midian,
as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the torrent Kishon.
10 At En-dor they were destroyed;
they became dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles as Oreb and
Zeeb, and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna;
12 who said, Let us take possession
of God’s pastures for ourselves.
13 O my God, make them as whirling
dust, as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burns a forest, and
as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15 so pursue them with Your
tempest, and frighten them with Your windstorm.
16 Fill their faces with shame and
they will seek Your name, O Jehovah.
17 Let them be ashamed and afraid
for ever; yea, let them be ashamed and perish.
18 And let them know You rule ;
Your name is Jehovah, that You alone are the Most High over all the
earth.
Psalm 83 (NASB95) Back
1A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not
remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still. 2For
behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted
themselves. 3They make shrewd plans against Your people, And
conspire together against Your treasured ones. 4They have said, “Come, and let us wipe
them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.” 5For they
have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant: 6The
tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites; 7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with
the inhabitants of Tyre; 8Assyria also has joined with them; They have
become a help to the children of Lot.Selah. 9Deal with them as with Midian, As with
Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon, 10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became
as dung for the ground. 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their
princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.” 13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like
chaff before the wind. 14Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame
that sets the mountains on fire, 15So pursue them with Your tempest And
terrify them with Your storm. 16Fill their faces with dishonor, That they
may seek Your name, O Lord. 17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever,
And let them be humiliated and perish, 18That they may know that You alone, whose
name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
