You pray – I’m sure you do, most Americans do…

I’ve found I tend to get in a rut without thinking through how I address God. So every prayer begins: “Our Father in Heaven” - “Kind and merciful God”- etc – GREAT phrases but they exclude some praise due and aspects I need awareness of in prayer. i.e. God is much more than a Kind Father. With 101 words I can get you started - think of addressing God from these aspects:

Righteous

Just

Mighty

Awesome in majesty

Loving

Father

Holy

Eternal

Each emphasizes something of God exalting an aspect of His character that will affect us if we will consider the implications.

(Extra - add your thoughts for others to "hear".)
