Alternative Names for God

Sometimes the “God” word can be triggering for people. I don’t really care for it because it’s associated with a male deity in my mind. I recognize that God is gender neutral, but because of the way the church has associated God with He, I’ve learned to do that, too.

But God is SO MUCH MORE than that! And She can handle being called whatever makes you most comfortable with Her! ;) Here are just a few other names you can use to replace the word God in your prayers, if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Ground of All Being (this one is from Paul Tillich)

Holy

Divine

Love

Mother/Father

Source

Creator

Spirit

Brother/Sister

Please call the Holy whatever makes you comfortable. It doesn’t change who They are to be called by another name. <3

Add to the list! Do you have other names for the Divine One? I’d love to hear in the comments!
