Praying God's Name

10/26/2020

2 Comments

 
When the winter storm blew in last week and I started hearing reports of car accidents and power outages, I found myself praying again. The prayers were not for myself but instead for complete strangers who might be in danger. I find that I’ve been doing that a lot lately. When I hear about something that is completely out of my control, which is literally everything, I find ​myself praying to the one who is in control.

I used to try and figure out the best answers when something happened in our lives. 2020 has bombarded life with problems that I simply have no answers for. I found myself quickly getting weary trying to handle what’s next. So as I turned to God for the answers I do not have, I found it’s easier to pray using God’s names to remind me who He is. Here are just a few of God’s names:

Elohim -means “God”. Simply God. Have you ever thought about how huge and all-encompassing that name means?  He is the one and only God, He is Sovereign, He is the one we can fully rely on.

Yahweh - means “Lord”. The name means the One of authority, the One with great power, the “I AM”. 

Abba - means “Daddy, Father”. This name shows His love for us as His children. When we are facing difficult times, we can run to his open arms for comfort and safety.

El Elyon - means “God Most High”. This name shows that He is bigger than any problem we face in our lives. It shows us that he is fully in control.

El Roi - means “God Who Sees”. This name shows that He watches over us.

El Shaddai- means “God Almighty”. ​This name reminds us that He is all-powerful. We can rest and find comfort in Him.

There are so many names for God in the Bible. I hope to learn more of His names over time because they remind me about who He is and that He cares for me. He has showed me that no problem is too small or too much for God. He knows what we need even when we do not.

In His Name,
Stephanie

Stephanie,

LOVE your blog this week ✝️

Our God is such a comfort in these trials & leaning into him is how I (we) get our strength, discernment, and wisdom to deal with all that is going on in this world.

Thank you for your words of wisdom, and sharing the need for prayer both for help in these times for ourselves as well as intercessory prayers for others 🙏✝️

Love & hugs, dear Sister-in-Christ ❤️🤗
