I am always troubled when in prayer my reason is the Bible says the most high God has a name and he will answer those who praise in his name and I am not sure which is the right one there are so many can I get an answer?
The right thing is to pray (and ask things for) to Father God in the name of Jesus Christ.
As far as names of God are concerned you must know that every name God has has the purpose to show us a God's characteristic
So Sabaoth means Lord of Armies or powers that is the Powerful God, Eloheim means God . Adonai means Lord. Jehovah or Jahve probably means the existing God and so on . God used his names to reveal Himself to people especially in the Old Testament. Thus God's names have a discriptional purpose, they have nothing magic which when you say the Heavens open to you
The name of God in New Testament is Father, because we are reborn by God who becomes not only our God but our Father as well. God is not father to all people no matter who they are or what they believe but He is Father to reborn christians. And that is done by the Spirit of God . John 3:1-8
Well said. He is our Father and also, in Jesus, our Lord, Savior, and also in the Holy Spirit, our Helper, Sanctifier, Comforter. If we are to know the names of our God from the Scriptures than we can address Him by these names according to our circumstances. In Exodus God told Moses that His name was I AM WHO I AM (YHWH) and that Abraham called Him Almighty God (El Shaddai). In both the Old Testament and New, He was called "God Most High". (Far above all other creatures) speaking of God's transcendent nature. I suggest that it is good to study these names to understand more about our God and to call to Him inprayer by these names.
Pray to "God" there is only 1 God, and he knows who he is!
Ephesians 4:6
"One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray he responded:
Luke 11:2
"And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth."
Jesus asks us to pray to the God the Father, in His Jesus name:
John 16:23
"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you."
