Psalm 100:5 Deep Dive // God, Help Me Praise You!

November 04, 2024

Has your praise ever felt hollow or empty? On today's episode, Dwell Differently cofounder, Natalie Abbott, shares about how she initially felt "meh" reading Psalm 100 and our memory verse. She shares how God met her in confessional prayer and used his Word to transform her heart and help her honestly say those words of praise. She also helps us see how God himself and his character must fuel our worship. Finally, she leaves us with practical tips on how we can build our own honest praise on the foundation of who God is.
