var myName = "Name";
var myStyle = null;
var allStyles = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;
for(var i=0;i<allStyles.length;i++){
  if(allStyles.name == myName){
    myStyle = allStyles;
    break;
  }
}
if(!myStyle){alert("Style Missing!");exit()}
// continuation of your script
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myStyle;
//rest of your script

This assumes you only have one style by that name...
