Reflection and Discussion Ch10 Q6

        What names and characteristics of God do you need to live “in dependence” on in your life right now?  Ask God to help you, and love for promises that assure you of His faithfulness.  Journal how your confidence grows as you depend on Him more each day this week.
I totally live in dependence of the following names:
Abba – My Father…Daddy
Emmanuel – My God with me
Right now I am also living in dependence of:
Jehovah Rapha – The God who heals me
Jehovah Jireh – The God who will provide for me
El Roi – The God who sees me
Jehovah Shammah – The Lord is there for me
Jehovah Shalom – The Lord is my peace
El Sali – God of my strength

Abba, I begin with thank you.  Thank you for being so much a part of my life and thank you for all the aspects you have to your character truly making You all I need.  I thank you for being Emmanuel, with me always so I am never truly alone.  Thank you, Abba, for being my Father who holds me close and comforts me.  There is so much going on in life at all times, yet each moment I need you in a different way.  I feel so weak and distracted lately.  El Sali, you are my strength when I am weak.  I often feel invisible.  El Roi,  you see me and know my needs.  You are Jehovah Jireh, providing for each of those needs.  With all the stress I’ve been under, my health has struggled.  Although the enemy is testing me through my health, you are Jehovah Rapha.  You are healing me – mentally, physically, spiritually – you are with me.  And in these tests and trials of life, I praise you for being Jehovah Shalom.  You are my peace; the peace that passes ALL understanding and helps me get through each day.  Thank you for these promises.  Thank you for being there when I call out.  Thank you for being real and for loving me so intimately.  Thank you for always being with me.  I lean on You, Abba, now and always.  Amen.
