In this episode of Chai Beauty, we explore Session Three of the When You Pray Bible study, taught by Jackie Hill Perry, which focuses on the prayer of petition and thanksgiving. I reflect on what it means to bring a formal request before God, knowing we never come alone—the Holy Spirit intercedes for us—and how gratitude transforms the way we present our needs. We talk about letting our petitions glorify God, trusting His sovereign nature, and relying on His wisdom, counsel, and power when life feels limited by our perspective. I share why our “micro-movements” matter, how the Lord of Hosts fights for us, and how God’s timelessness changes the way we view waiting. This episode is an encouragement to hand over your struggles, walk in His guidance, and remember the goodness of God in every season.
