As part of my daily meditation on the Lord's Prayer, I recalled a sermon I had heard about the names of God in the Bible. I found a list at bible.org/article/names-god. Drawing from their list, I categorized them to make them easier to memorize.
As I meditate on them, I'll continue to add notes here about what these names tell us about the God of Israel.

5- Yahweh “I am”
