What Al-Wajid means
Al-Wajid means the Finder, who has everything and lacks nothing. Nothing is ever lost from Him, and whatever He wants, He finds. He found the Prophet (peace be upon him) as an orphan and gave him shelter, and found him in need and made him free of need (93:6-8).

In the Qur'an
The name itself is not in the Qur'an as a name, but its meaning is, as in this verse.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Al-Wajid is from the hadith list; the Qur'an uses its verb (wajada, to find) about Allah in 93:6-8.
Living by this name
When you feel you are lacking something, turn to the One who lacks nothing. Pray: O Allah, You have everything; give me from Your bounty and never leave me lost.
