Praying the Names of God—Day 7

Welcome to Day 7 of our Jabez journey! Today, we focus on the power and beauty of praying the names of God. When I pray the prayer of Jabez, I like to begin with worship—praising God by His many names. Like Jabez, I want to acknowledge the God I’m praying to, just as Jesus taught us, “Hallowed be Thy name.” The following names for God, are found in scriptures speak of the beauty of his nature. His name is, Jehovah-M’Kaddesh (our cleanser and sanctifier), Jehovah-rohi (our shepherd), Jehovah-rophe (our healer).These names of God came from real people who experienced his hand of provision, protection, and deliverance in their life stories. We’re invited to do the same—celebrate the names of God from Scripture, and recognize how he reveals himself personally through our own experiences. God is not distant; he is personal, present, and intimately involved in every detail of our lives.Heavenly Father,We praise you for your beautiful names—our peace, healer, shepherd, redeemer, cleanser, and friend. Thank you for being personal and present with us. As we pray, we invite you into every area of our lives. Spirit of God, write stories of redemption through us. Jesus, teach us to pray and to see your hands in our everyday moments. May the Spirit of the Lord rest on us today—the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. Fill us with extraordinary wisdom, perfect understanding, wise strategy, mighty power, and deep reverence for you. Thank you for answering when we call and for walking with us every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
