Praying the redemptive names of God brings me so much peace. His name reveals His nature. Here are the 7 names and the scriptures that link them to the cross.
Below I quoted from F.F. Bosworth's, Christ the Healer.
I changed the verses to NIV version unless otherwise noted.
 
JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH is translated "The LORD is there," or present, revealing to us the redemptive privilege of enjoying His presence.
Ephesians 2:13 NIV (©1984)"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.”
 
JEHOVAH-RA-AH is translated "The LORD is my Shepherd."
John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
 
JEHOVAH-SHALOM is translated "The LORD our Peace" Jesus said, "My peace I give you."
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
 
JEHOVAH-NISSI-"The LORD is our Banner," or "Victor," or "Captain."
1 Corinthians 15:57 "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
 
JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU- "The LORD our Righteousness."
2 Corinthians 5:21  God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God
 
 
JEHOVAH-RAPHA is translated "I am the LORD thy Physician," or "I am the LORD that healeth thee."
1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
