Ep 24 - Celebrating One Year: How to Give Authentic Praise When Yahuwah Answers
Manage episode 489238997 series 3578991
A year of podcasting calls for celebration, reflection, and above all, praise! As we mark this milestone, we dive deep into a question that's transformed our spiritual walks: How do you genuinely thank Yahuwah when He answers prayers—especially the unexpected ones?
From spontaneous tears of joy to dancing like no one's watching, our personal stories reveal the beautiful diversity in how believers express gratitude. Faye shares how music becomes her sacred language of praise, while Cece finds God's touch in even the smallest victories—like catching that elusive morning bus with her son. But what happens when praise requires walking away from conflict rather than engaging? We explore the counterintuitive power of restraint as spiritual maturity, not weakness.
The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as we confess a common Christian struggle: the tendency to move quickly from answered prayer to the next request without properly honoring what's been received. "I can pray and fast for something with all my might, but when it arrives, I barely pause before asking 'what's next,'" reveals Cece. This honest self-reflection challenges us all to develop more intentional gratitude practices.
Perhaps most touching is what we're learning from children—their pure, uncomplicated thankfulness putting our adult hesitations to shame. When Shay's young son spontaneously exclaims "Amen, thank you Lord!" for catching the bus while she's busy worrying about schedules, it's a powerful reminder of Christ's words about childlike faith.
Whether you're in a season of waiting, celebrating breakthrough, or somewhere in between, this anniversary episode invites you into a deeper relationship with gratitude. Join our community as we learn to praise not just with our lips but with our lives.
