MORE PRAYING NAMES

This post is part of an ongoing ministry where I create prayers that people we love would live the meaning of their names. Go to the tab at the right, titled, "PRAYING NAMES" for a list of the names and prayers already created.

Every month I add new names. If you know of someone you would like to pray the meaning of their name, please click on "Comment" below and leave the name. I will research the name's meaning and create a prayer for them for a future month.

Kevin: handsome beloved

Heavenly Father, I pray that Kevin will live the meaning of his name. I pray that he will understand that—whatever he does, whatever he doesn’t do, whatever is happening in his life—to you he is beautiful and he is loved by you. Amen.

Thadius, Tad; heart

Heavenly Father, I pray that Thadius will live the meaning of his name. I pray that you will instill in his heart a deep love for you. I pray that his heart will remain strong and true to you. I pray that he will have a heart and desire for your will to be done in his life and in the world. Amen.

Virginia, Ginny: virginal, pure

Heavenly Father, I pray that Virginia will live the meaning of her name. I pray that she will live a pure life for you. I pray that—whatever mistakes she makes; however she may sin—that when she returns to you, repents and is forgiven—that she understands that your forgiveness returns her to purity in your eyes. I pray that always she will seek to live a pure life for you. Amen.

Joyce: little lord

Heavenly Father, I pray that Joyce will live the meaning of her name. I pray that she will understand her station in life as an adopted daughter in your family; that once she accepts Jesus, she becomes royalty as the adopted daughter of the King. I pray that always she will understand that you are Lord and thus, though royalty, she is little, while you—Oh, mighty God—are big. Big enough to handle every situation, every crisis, every joy, everything in the universe, no matter how large or small. Amen.
