I mentioned a few posts back about how much this book has encouraged me and helped me feel closer to the Lord in that I can call on a specific name of God in my prayers. Kind of like when you say your child's whole name, first-middle-last, to really get their attention.  "Praying the Names of God" by Ann Spangler.

Elohim ~ God, Mighty Creator

Elohim (e-lo-HEEM) is the plural form of El or Eloah, one of the oldest designations for divinity in the world. It is used more than 2,500 times in the Bible.

"When we pray to Elohim, we remember that he is the one who began it all, creating the heavens and the earth and separating light from darkness, water from dry land, night from day." (pg 15)

For Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

We can offer God thanks and praise that he has created us and made us in his own image. He had the power to create the heavens and earth from absolutely nothing. We should confess any tendency to forget that human life is very sacred and ask God to renew our sense of wonder and gratitude for the things he has made.
