Sure, some of these outfitted candy-seekers will look weird, freaky, and downright creepy. But rather than shutting out this nationwide costume party, let's take a fresh look at Halloween. ...

Praying to God who is El Kanna
"God You alone are worthy of every and all praise! You are worthy because you are the creator, sustainer, and redeemer of my life. Before I was formed and alive, you were. You desire honor and glory for your namesake. Lord I confess that there are times that I have cheated our covenant relationship, turning to idols and I’ve messed up. My eyes and ears have been veiled by lies from different voices, teachings, and from the enemy himself, that I’ve drifted away from Jesus Christ. Help me to uproot those lies, coming back to the source of my life, that I may worship you by treasuring your truth, lifting my voice, and living in a way that honors and glorifies your name. That through my life, all may know that you are God. For you are El Kanna, a God whose name is Jealous because you are a jealous God." ...

Praying to Jehovah Tsebaoth
God YOU are the LORD of Hosts. YOU are my refuge AND my strength. Though at times I feel like I might not make it through the day, I am glad that I can trust in you because you are always by my side. Though at times it feels like life has its way with me, I know I can pause and be still because you are God. When I look back from where I’ve come from, I know that I’m standing here because it was you who sustained me and I remember your marvelous works. Help me to remember that I can face my storms because you hold all power in your hand, you will be exalted over all nations, and your kingdom will reign forever. You are Jehovah Tsebaoth and my heart is glad that the LORD of Hosts is with me and sustains me. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, Amen! ...
Praying to Jehovah Tsidkenu
Father, There is so much injustice around me. I don’t know what to do about all the wickedness going on in the world let alone the ways people have hurt me and others in my life. But you are the LORD our Righteousness! You will judge all evil and punish the oppressors. So do not hesitate in bringing justice and repentance to the wicked, Lord. Heal what is broken, and punish the evildoers before they can do more harm....
Praying to Jehovah Rapha
Heavenly Father, I’ve tasted your goodness and I’ve tasted the bitterness of life. If I’m honest though, many times the sufferings I face overcome me and blind me to the wonderful ways you’ve worked in my life. Sometimes I’m so knee deep in my trouble, my insecurities, and the tragedies that I have no control over that it feels like you’ve forgotten about me. Renew my vision today and help me see that you are Jehovah Rapha- The Lord God who heals. ...

Praying to Yahweh
God, you are everlasting and your reign is timeless. You are Yahweh, the self-existent God of the universe. And just as the fire in the bush didn't need the bush to continue burning, you need nothing to sustain you. You are constant, never having to improve or grow because you are the I AM. I humbly come before you calling upon your name. Thank you for coming down to my level to rescue me through Jesus. Thank you that I belong to you. Help me to be mastered by nothing but you alone. Amen....
