Sadie Robertson came in second place on the season finale of "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday night, but shared praises to God for the incredible experience of being on the show.

The 17-year-old expressed thanks to God for making it to the finals, and shared pictures with her hair and makeup team, her dance partner, and the season's winner, Alfonso Ribeiro.

The morning of the season finale, Robertson posted a Bible verse giving "all glory to God in all things," and received nearly 100,000 Instagram likes.

"Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness" (Psalm 115:1, NIV), her meme read.

Following the "DWTS" results, Robertson reflected on the past 11 weeks, and shared a photo from the "Good Morning America" episode where she was announced as a contestant.

"Wow what a journey?!?" she began.

"Just want to say thank you for everything. Y'all got us all the way to the end, and I am more than thankful for that. It's been so cool to be able to share this experience with everything. All glory to God for this crazy experience."

Actress Janel Parrish and her dance pro, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, performed a foxtrot/paso doble combination, and Robertson and Ballas executed a samba/quickstep combination. All of the couples received a perfect score in the season finale, but the highest combined score went to former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" actor Alfonso Ribeiro and dance pro Witney Carson.

Although she did not win the competition, Robertson said that her faith grew stronger after being on "DWTS."

"Wow what a crazy journey this has been," she wrote on Instagram on Monday. "I have grown so much from this experience. I have grown in my faith more then [sic] ever, and found out a lot more about the person I am."

Although her time on "DWTS" is up, Robertson appears with the rest of her Louisiana family on A&E reality show "Duck Dynasty," airing Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m.
