365 Devotions on the Power of Prayer
Romans 8:24-28 NKJV
24) For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
25) But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26) Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27) Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28) And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:24-28 NIV
24) For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
25) But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26) In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
27) And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for GOD’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28) And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #19: EL CHAY - LIVING GOD
Key Scripture’s : 2 Kings 19:15-16

Understanding the Name:
Scripture constantly warns against the worship of false gods. The first of the Ten Commandments is itself a proscription against idol worship. The title EL CHAY (EL CHAY), the living God, emphasizes God’s role as Creator of all that is, in contrast with idols made of metal, wood, or stone, which are merely the creations of human hands. Jeremiah paints a vivid picture, saying, “The customs of the people are worthless; They cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good” (Jeremiah 10:3-5 NIV) Imagine praying to a deaf and dumb god! That’s exactly the case when someone worships any other God than El Chay!
