PRAYING NAMES—A FEW MORE

Here are a few more names for your praying enjoyment. Please email me or leave a comment with names of loved ones you would like to pray for. I’ll research the meaning of the name, create a prayer and post the next batch within a week or two. After they’re posted here, I’ll move them and add them to the permanent ‘PRAYING NAMES” page at the top of this blog.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about…go to my May POST that explains praying for loved ones by praying the meaning of their names.

===========================================

ANANDA: Bliss, worthy of love

Heavenly Father, I pray that Ananda will live her name. I pray that she will find true joy and peace through you. I pray also that she will understand how completely worthy of love she is both to you and to others. Show her your love in a real way today. Assure her of your presence in her life. Help her take hold of your hand and walk along side you, receiving your peace and knowing that she is worthy of your love.

JUSTIN: Just, lawful, true

Heavenly Father, I pray that Justin will live his name. I pray that in all things, he will live his life being just and true in everything he says and does. I pray also that he will understand that you are true and just and that your words in scripture and your example in life, Jesus, is the one real truth he can cling to throughout his life.

LINDSEY, LINDSAY: dark lake; linden trees near the water

Heavenly Father, I pray that Lindsey will live her name. I pray that she will understand that although the waters of life may be dark, she can rely on you to be her guide through them and to light her way across them. I pray also that she will be like the trees near the water’s edge, gaining strength and nourishment from you, Jesus, the living water.
