MATTHEW 6:9-13
“This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Let us look at some more of the names of God that we as His children extol and receive the blessings of God. These names are part of the character and nature of God and therefore representative of His intentions toward us and the blessings He wants to give us.
Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Who is our Peace) is another name that represents who God is in our lives. He desires to bring us true and lasting peace in our lives. The peace He affords us is the peace that comes from right relationship to the God of all. This peace is not temporary but eternal and gives us confidence that our Lord is in the midst of every circumstance and every situation in life. When we walk with God He bestows on us the ability to face everything life throws at us with grace and honor. The world takes notice of us when we are living in the midst of peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
Jehovah Mekaddish (The Lord Who is our Righteousness). What a great promise for us to grab hold of and cling to. God Himself has purchased our right-standing with Him. Our own righteousness is like filthy rags and can in no way appease the Lord. Through Christ's sacrifice on the cross, He secured for us eternal righteousness and pardoned our sinful heart. Knowing this, we can boldly come before the throne of grace and with confidence beseech our Lord and know that nothing stands in the way of His grace to us. Praise God for His awesome love bestowed on us.
Jehovah Nissi (The Lord our Victory). We are more than overcomers through Christ who has won the victory for us. As we stand and battle the enemy of God and His Kingdom, we know that there is no greater power on earth than the power of God in us. Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world. How confident we can be as we take His word, His promises, His Holy Spirit, and His joy and take the battle to the enemy with the assurance that when Christ said "it is finished!", it was. We are victorious in Him. As the gospel song so correctly declares, VICTORY IN JESUS!!!
There are many more Names that declare God's virtues and grace. Click Here to see these and know the blessings of God through each one...How great is our God. That's what I have been thinking....
