Andrew often led people to Christ. Apart from the fact that he was a fisherman and the brother of Simon Peter, we don't know much more about this apostle. But isn't it the kind of name you want to have?

Prayer

You are deserving of all adoration, glory, and respect, El Shaddai, the One True and All-Powerful God! I'm grateful that you accepted my feeble efforts to laud you and were made joyful and pleased by my affection and effort. You are too great for my intellect to comprehend and too magnificent for words. I'm delighted to confide all my intentions in you. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
