Praise God!

Praise God

Even in tough situations, it is a great time to Praise God. When we do this, we show that we trust that God is in control.

When it seems there is no way out, we can become very depressed and doubtful.  This feeling adds to the situation and shows that we are not giving our problems to God.  Sometimes it may seem too big of a problem to overcome, but just trust that God will be there when we pray and never lose hope in Him. 

It seems when we try to do everything our way or try to handle difficult situations ourselves, it becomes very over whelming and it is really hard to live our lives in peace.  But that is exactly what God gives you “peace.”  “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.  Psalm 29:11.”

When bad situations are improved, some people may chalk it up as coincidence, but when confiding in God, you never have to rely on “luck.”  Luck is not what carries us through.   It is God’s loving hand that carries us.  Many people don’t understand this and go through life thinking that they need to handle everything themselves and that just leads to more worry and disappointment. 

It always intrigues me to hear about such dire circumstances that came out so well, some are nothing short of a miracle!   Another action that really pleases God that coincides with praying and confiding in him is praising Him.  When God creates a miracle, it feels great to praise God.  But even if it seems our circumstances are getting worse or not improving, it is still good to praise God for his blessings, even if we are not feeling that blessed at the time. 

God works everything together for “good.”  “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28.”

So his plan is the best and whatever the outcome, praise God for his works.  The more we are thankful and praise Him, it seems the more we feel a comfortable peace.
