The Prayer of Admiration: Praising God for Who He Is
In this episode of Chai Beauty, I reflect on Session Four of the When You Pray Bible study, focusing on the prayer of admiration. I share how this practice shifted my perspective from constantly petitioning God to simply honoring Him for who He is—provisional, personal, a giver, and good. Through scripture like Psalm 139 and Philippians 4, I unpack what it means to confess not just what God has done, but who He is at His core. From worshipping in sorrow to recognizing the Holy Spirit’s quiet guidance, I talk about the ways admiration builds endurance, deepens intimacy, and helps us use the tools God has already given us. 💬 Question for You: When was the last time your prayer wasn’t about asking God for something, but just admiring Him for who He is?

Instead of only petitioning God for what I need, I’ve learned the importance of admiration—confessing who God is: provisional, personal, a giver, and good.
