Praying Through the Names of God

Praying Through the Names of God helps readers deepen their prayer life by reflecting on the names and titles through which God reveals His character in Scripture. Tony Evans connects each name with a particular aspect of who God is, including His provision, protection, power, holiness and faithfulness.

Each section provides biblical reflection followed by guided prayer, helping readers move from learning about God towards responding to Him personally. The book is especially useful for those who struggle to know what to pray or who want their prayers to become more closely shaped by Scripture.

Readers should remember that the names of God are not formulas for securing particular outcomes. They reveal the one true God and should lead to reverence, trust and worship rather than being treated as spiritual techniques. Hebrew terms and their meanings should also be understood within the context of the biblical passages from which they are drawn.

Recommended for: readers seeking to strengthen their prayer life, understand God’s character and develop more Scripture-rooted devotional habits.

Reading approach: consider one name at a time, read the supporting passage in context and use the guided prayers as a starting point for your own worship, confession, thanksgiving and petition.
