Creating a Vocabulary of Praise

In this Wednesday evening breakout session, Lorraine Cruz explores how to develop a richer, more intentional vocabulary of praise and gratitude in our relationship with God. Using Psalm 100:4 as the foundation, she unpacks what it means to “enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise.” Lorraine shares her personal six-month journey of practicing daily praise through the alphabet, discussing how gratitude reorders our perspective, recalibrates our souls, and deepens our intimacy with God. This session challenges us to examine how we come before God—not merely speaking rote prayers, but approaching His presence with genuine thanksgiving and intentional praise that reflects His true character.
