El Shadday is our God Almighty! "When we pray to El Shadday, we invoke the name of the one for whom nothing is impossible." (pg 40)

Genesis 17 tells the account of when Abram met with the LORD at the ripe ole age of 99 years old. Th Lord said to him, "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God (El Shadday); walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, as for me, behold my covenant is with Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee..." (Genesis 17:1-5)

El Shadday (EL shad-DAI), is often translated as God Almighty, but it may literally be translated as "God, the Mountain One." "Like the mountains themselves, God is seen as strong and unchanging. El Shadday reveals God not only as the one who creates and maintains the universe but who initiates and maintains a covenant with his people." (pg 42)

"The next time you feel tempted beyond your power to resist, call on the name of El Shadday, asking him to help you bear up under it, confident of his ability to sustain and bless you." (pg 44)

"Lord, help me to know you as my All-Powerful God, the one who is able to sustain and bless me, to fulfill every promise he makes. Increase my awe of you and of your power so that, like Abraham, I may follow you faithfully, always believing you are enough for me." (pg 41)
