We open the ancient Hebrew text and we will focus on one profound connection: the silent letter Aleph and the powerful word Emunah which is spelt with the letter Aleph. Together, they reveal what biblical faith truly means.

Hebrew Letter: Aleph

Hebrew Word: Emunah

Meaning: Faith

In this episode, we explore why we sometimes show up to worship in body but not in heart—and what Scripture teaches about returning to genuine, life-giving praise. From distraction, guilt, pride, and exhaustion to bitterness and unanswered prayers, we uncover the real reasons our spirit can feel far from G-d even when we’re in His house.

We look at David’s example: a king who rejoiced to enter G-d’s presence, who danced with humility, and who praised G-d through every season—joy, fear, betrayal, and victory. His life reminds us that worship isn’t a weekend habit; it’s a posture of “No matter what, G-d, I’m coming back to You.”

We then unpack the seven Hebrew words for praise—Hallel, Shabach, Tehillah, Barak, Towdah, Yadah, and Zamar—each revealing a different expression of worship through music, surrender, thanksgiving, humility, and bold celebration. These ancient word-pictures show that praise is more than singing; it’s spiritual alignment, a weapon against chaos, and a doorway into G-d’s presence.

Ultimately, praise transforms us. It shifts our eyes from fear to love, cuts through inner chaos, strengthens us, and creates space for healing. Praise is how we return home to G-d, clear the sanctuary of our hearts, and welcome the King of Glory to dwell with us.

This episode invites you to rediscover praise—not as noise, but as fellowship, transformation, and a lifestyle that keeps us close to the Almighty.

The final episode of the 7 levels of relationship with God concludes with the relationship liken to a Bridegroom and His bride.
