I am indebted to God and to many other Christians who are helping me out. One was Pastor Jeff Hough of Angel Community Church in Muskegon. He during a retreat encouraged us to increase our prayer vocabulary. As part of my prayer practice, I am going through the alphabet and I began to realize that there are so many ways that we can describe God....and that I need to increase my knowledge of attributes.
The following list is not exhaustive, and is borrowed from
