Praying A Name Of God

Have you ever prayed any of the names of God, to God? If your heart is right and you use His names appropriately, I believe God is pleased.

First, use God’s appropriate name for what you are talking to Him about or asking. It will deepen your prayer. For example, “Jehovah Jireh,” in English means, “The God who provides” or “The Lord will provide.”

Any name of God should humble our hearts and cause us to bow our heads, but “El Shaddai” should humble our hearts and cause us to bow our heads, but “El Shaddai” should cause every part of our being to bow. For He is the “God Almighty.” The One that can overpower anyone or anything. He is the “Almighty.” He has unlimited power. That knowledge alone should cause us to confess our sins and walk in the ways of the Lord. Your God knows everything about you and has unlimited power to curse you or bless you. Read II Chronicles 20. There He blessed the king Jehoshaphat and tells of a beautiful prayer. Then later in life, Jehoshaphat aligned himself again, with the wicked king Ahab, so God corrected Jehoshaphat, and I believe, protected him.
