Alphabet Praise

I lead a women's bible study on Thursday nights and last week I asked the ladies to take each letter of the alphabet and write down an attribute or name of God that reflects their view of who God is to them. Over the next few weeks I am going to share these with you. This week we have letters A-G. I hope you will meditate over these names and how they reflect who He is to you. I would love to hear from you and who God is to you. Add a comment or send an email to alignwithhim@gmail.com.
