So this episode is part II of our episode on creating your own prayer in igbo, which seeks to give a blueprint or guide to creating a personal prayer in Igbo. In the previous episode we went over some "must know phrases" and then a list of names used in glorifying God.  In this part of the episode, we will explore how to show Adoration and thanksgiving,. 

So to explore this part of prayer we will introduce 4 phrases that can be used when beginning your sentences of thanks.  It's important to note that there are many ways to say thank you in Igbo  or to convey these means, but here are just a few phrases to get you started:

1. Nara Ekele (ekene) maka ____ inyere m/anyi- Receive thanks for ________ you have given me/us

3. Daalu maka ____- Thank you for _____

4. I meela ( I meena) maka- Thank you for ____  (you have done well for ____)
