- Hey, you're tunedinto The Superbook Show.

Welcome everybody.

Today, we're talking about praising God.

Hey, what are you doing?

(paper crinkles)

Alitheia for president?

(boings)

(whooshes)

President of what?

- National Honor Society.

I've run a good campaign.

And today the people vote.

- Well, I wish you nothing but the--

(phone rings)

- Sorry.

Hey.

So, how'd I do?

(man mumbling)

I know, I--

(man mumbling)

Uh-huh.

(man mumbling)

No, so they?

(man mumbling)

Uh-huh.

(man mumbling)

Uh.

Okay.

Thanks for all your help.

(suspenseful music)

I didn't win.

- Oh, man, I'm sorry.

- It's crazy because Ireally prayed for this.

I thought I was definitely gonna get it.

- I know you're disappointed.

- I can't do today's show.

Isn't the topic about praising God?

I don't feel like praising God.

- Whoa, slow down, youcan't do the show now?

- Praising God is somethingyou do when you're happy.

♪ Alleluia ♪

I'm

not happy.

- Actually, praisingGod is something you do

because He's worthy.

It doesn't have to do with your feelings.

- Don't you have to feelgood to make a joyful noise?

- I mean--

(screams)

(scary music)

Does that sound joyful to you?

- Sounded painful.

(coughs)

- It was.

- Since we're talking about joyful noises,

Joy had this same problemin the Paul And Silas

episode of Superbook.

(whooshes)

- [Man] Say a prayer of thanks with us.

- A prayer of thanks?

For all this?

I'm not feeling toothankful at the moment.

(dramatic music)

- Paul and Silas prayed for a young girl.

When they prayed for her,

she was healed of demon possession.

- Wow.

- There were men thatmade money off that girl.

When they say she was healed

from the power the evil spirits gave her,

they had Paul and Silas beaten

and thrown into jail.

- Jail for prayer?

That doesn't seem fair.

- That's just it.

It wasn't fair.

Chris joined Gizmo were thrown into prison

with Paul and Silas.

And Joy was not in apraising God kind of mood.

- Okay, see, that I understand.

How can Paul want to praise God?

(whooshes)

(dramatic music)

- I have learned to be satisfied

with whatever I have.

I've lived under all kinds of conditions.

Christ gives me thestrength to face anything.

And whatever happens, I keep thanking God.

This is what He wants you to do.

- God can give you thestrength to face anything.

- So, whatever happens, keep thanking God?

- No matter what.

- Okay.

I'm not gonna lie.

This seems weird to do.

But I'm gonna try it.

Say a prayer of thanksgiving with me.

- Okay.

- Heavenly Father, thank you God,

I got a chance to even be inthe National Honor Society.

Thank you for the peoplethat voted for me.

Please help the new president to do well,

and to lead us to great things.

In Jesus' name.

- Amen.

Praying for your opponent.

That's pretty big.

- Just because the personI voted for didn't win,

doesn't mean I can't wantthe new leader to do well.

If they don't, we all suffer.

- His word is forever alive.
