Do an online study of the character of God

Recently I‘ve been studying the names of God from a wonderful document John’s cousin compiled with her friend over several years of research. It is a deep well of riches and I want to share it with you in the form of prayers during this next while. The first part of the document of names can be found at

Psalm 89: 15-17 expresses the thought that God’s strength becomes our glory as we rejoice in His name all day long. It seems logical to explore the depth of this name… so come along with me and let’s do it together.
“Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. For you are their glory and strength…”
Name 1
I am that I am, Yahweh, The Lord, Jehovah who is there for You today.
Dear Father in Heaven,
Today I thank you that You are the Self-Existent, manifested, revealed God; the God of all Heaven and Earth.
I thank you that You make Yourself known to us. Today, Lord, I ask that You would make Yourself known to me in a very specific, new and very real way. Reveal to me Your heart, O God. Reveal to me Your shield of protection around me. May any darts that are being hurled at me from the enemy of my soul today be deflected by You, my great God who is over all, and in all and through all things.
Thank you that there is no power on heaven or earth that is stronger than our God.
Encase me in Your presence and in Your holiness. Let me feel the shelter and protection of Your wings today as You wrap me in Your love. Give me hope and assurance of Your power at work on my behalf.
Give me confidence today that Yahweh, The Lord, Jehovah, the great “I am” is standing with me and over me this day. Wow! What a picture. I will walk in that confidence today.
in the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
Questions: Is studying God’s character helpful to you? In what way?
