Powerful Lessons of Gratitude And Faith From Psalm 136

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Deepest Within You podcast show. My name is Chasity Macmillan. We are thrilled to have you join us on a spiritual journey where we’ll dive into the profile depths of the human soul and explore the divine connection that binds us all regardless of gender.

This podcast is dedicated to bringing you inspiring stories, enlightening discussion, and transformative insight that will help you connect with your inner self and the world around you. Whether you are seeking spiritual growth, inner peace, or simply a moment of reflection, our episodes are designed to uplift and guide you on your pathway. We hope you find solace, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of yourself through our podcast.

Thank you for being a part of our community all around the world through faith, hope, and love. Before we get started, I would like to express gratitude and love to my husband, Eric, and daughter, Nya, and a happy Veterans Day to my elder brothers, Sam and Brad, to my brother in love, Douglas, and a host of family members, to many throughout being connected to the military as family and friends, plus those I have worked with or crossed paths with. All of you around the world, thank you, thank you, thank you for your dedication and unconditional love in serving our country.

I pray the Lord’s blessings continue to shower you in every aspect of your life. Psalms 136, gratitude and worship of God’s deliverance and guidance through the wilderness, how he led us through providing direction and care during our journey to our promised land, how he keeps steady and unmoved. The Lord God helped us to defeat and have victories over situations known and unknown.

He gave us the promised land of fulfilling his covenant promises to us. The psalm affirms that God remembered his people in their lowest state and rescued them. Psalms 136 celebrates God’s mighty acts of deliverance, emphasizing that each act is motivated by his steadfast love, which endures forever, that his saving power through Jesus Christ is constant and reliable.

His protection through the wilderness, the repeated phrase, his steadfast love endures forever, remind us that no matter our circumstances, the Lord God love is constant and unwavering. In our daily life, this encourages us to trust in the Lord God, care during good times and challenges, to give thanks to God in our lives, practicing gratitude, help us recognize our blessing and foster a positive outlook and strengthen our relationship with God and others. Remembering God’s past faithfulness recounts God’s deliverance of Israel.

We can look back on times when we experienced help, guidance, or protection. Remember these moments build faith and confidence for the future. In our lives, encourage us to rely on God when facing uncertainty, knowing that we are not alone, to show love and kindness to others, reflecting God’s character in our relationship and community.

I remember early on in my 20s, if it weren’t for a judge who bought self-awareness emotionally and mentally, I probably wouldn’t have still been carrying that burden that wasn’t meant for me to take. With gratitude and love, I’m grateful for the Lord allowing him to be in my presence at that very moment. Today, as I look back with so many obstacles to overcome today, I’m truly grateful for the process and the dedication, a promise I made to myself within the moment.

It would be an honor to thank him for taking the time to read and understand where I was at that very moment and knowing from my writing. In 1 Peter 20, 24, by his wounds we are healed, in which we all feel it within ourselves. We can look back with a smile, no matter what it is or was, and say thank you with so much gratitude and love.

In the Bible, the 11 months symbolize transition, preparation, and divine intervention in our time of waiting for fulfillment. It also represents a season where God speaks and brings renewal, even during outward dormant times. What are some areas of your life you have seen God in doing love? What are some mountains you can still reflect with gratitude and thanksgiving? What is a moment the Lord God has built your faith and confidence for the future? With trusting within him, knowing you are not alone, what areas in your life motivate you to show love and kindness, reflecting the Lord’s character? Today, I want to pray for us all as we continue to walk through our season and journey of gratitude and love.

As we pray, Abba, Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Lord God, we repent of our sins, known and unknown. We forgive those who have trespassed against us.

We ask that you bless them with your love, joy, and happiness. We thank you, Lord, for your steadfast love and faithfulness. We are grateful for your presence in our lives and for all the blessings you provide us every day.

Lord God, we thank you for guiding us through challenges and for delivering us from difficult situations. Your mercy endures forever, and we are grateful for your protection and care. We thank you, Heavenly Father, that you are the creator of all the beauty of the world around us.

Continue to help us appreciate your hard work and to see your love reflected in all that you have made. Lord God, we thank you for your provision, food, shelter, relationships, and opportunity. Remind us to trust in your goodness to share your blessings with others.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your unfailing love. May we remember your kindness and reflect your love to those around us. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

As we come to the end of today’s episode, I would like to thank you for joining me on this journey of exploring the deepest within you. I hope our discussion has inspired you to look within and connect with your inner self. Remember the path to self-awareness, self-exploration, self-discovery, and personal growth is a continuing journey.

Every step you take brings you closer to fulfillment and purpose, the deepest within you. Embrace the journey, trust the process, and allow yourself to glow and grow through the experiences. I encourage you to continue exploring the biblical principles and spiritual teachings that resonate with you and to apply them in your daily life, finding your in-between.

Thank you for being a part of this conversation. If you have any thoughts and experience you’d like to share, please reach out to UrbanCityPodcast.com and ChastityBMcMillan at Yahoo.com. Until next time, remember always, he is the I am that I am. You will strive, you will grow, and you will glow with living your in-between.

I pray and decree and declare that these words are not by might, but by the Holy Spirit. Resign at night and bring a revelation into your life for the Lord’s purpose in alignment with Him. Have a beautiful and glorious week.

God’s blessings and always, much love to you.
