Legwork - Creating A List

As stated in an earlier post, this entry will be dedicated in creating a list of words in the Bible that will help us find aspects and characteristics of prayer. Some words will be obvious and some will be fishing expeditions. After this list is made, the next posts will have include at least one of the words and an entry from Strong's Concordance. For example, if we take the word pray, just in the Hebrew alone, the word has 11 entries in Strong's. Each entry uses and defines the word just a little differently. I will look at these different uses and see if I will be able to draw out any aspects or characteristics of prayer.
Here is the list so far(the list may grow as I get deeper in the study):
  1. Pray
  2. Prayer
  3. Prayers
  4. Prays
  5. Prayed
  6. Praying
  7. Fast
  8. Fasted
  9. Fasting
  10. Fastings
  11. Meditate
  12. Meditation
  13. Bow (down)
  14. Boweth
  15. Bowing
  16. Bowed
  17. Bows
  18. Kneeled
  19. Kneel
  20. Kneeling
  21. Knee
  22. Knees
  23. Lay
  24. Lift (up)
  25. Lifted (up)
  26. Beseech
  27. Seek
More will be added to the list if necessary.
