Name Above Names Prayer

Prayer is an area that I have often struggled with. I have such good intentions, but as I go into my quiet time I am often distracted by my thoughts, my children or my to-do list.

I decided that since I am focusing on the Father this month that I would take some extra time to focus on praying specifically with the names of God in mind.

I realize it is already the 2nd of the month, but I have included 31 names and scriptures to pray God's name through any month.
