It's easy to cry out to God when you're desperate—but what about when the relief finally comes? In this episode, Jen shares how a migraine-free morning reminded her that gratitude isn't just for answered prayers, but for the God who cares about every part of your life. Discover how bringing both your pain and your relief to God can deepen your relationship with him.

Verse
Luke 17:11–19
 "On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[a] who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”
Question
God, remind me of a relief you've brought to me. How can this deepen my awareness and my gratitude for you?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about learning to share our emotions with God.
What if the next time you sat down to pray, God asked you the same question your best friend would: "How are you really doing?" In this episode, we're exploring how to bring our actual emotions—the tiredness, the worry, the joy, the grief—into honest conversation with God. You'll discover why emotional honesty isn't just okay in prayer, it's the pathway to deeper intimacy with the Lord who already knows your heart and invites you to pour it out before Him. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Psalm 62:8 (ESV)
"Trust in him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah."

Question
God, what am I feeling right now that you want to remind me that I can bring to you?
