In this episode of Behind The Highlight Reels hosts Cristal and Therisa discuss whether we are treating God like a genie in a bottle or are we truly being considerate of God. Do we truly include Him in decisions rather than “checking a box” and moving ahead? They emphasize waiting for God’s answer, being persistent in prayer (ask, seek, knock), and recognizing that God cares about both big and small matters. They talk about treating God like a genie versus cultivating a relationship, referencing the Lord’s Prayer structure, trust and surrender to God’s will and timing, and discernment through the Holy Spirit’s nudges, peace, conviction, or discomfort. They share personal examples about buying a car, house-hunting in a fast market, relationships where God said no, and accepting God’s Will in a family member’s death. They close with four tips:

1. Go to God about every decision,
2. Seek the Holy Spirit,
3. Wait for an answer, and
4. Surrender the outcome.
