Praise Him Even When.  By Christina Cannon.

Yesterday’s worship was amazing  . We started off with the song “Praise.”  Oh, how I needed that.   We all need to be reminded to praise God even when we are struggling to do so.  When we praise God, our spirit is lifted up.  Our attitude shifts when we praise.  The focus is taken off of ourselves and places it where it belongs – on Jesus.

Psalms 42:11 NASB

“Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me?

Wait for God, for I will again praise Him. For the help of His presence, my God.”

I found this article on the Power of Praise. Take a look at it for reasons to praise and what praise does in our lives.

The Power of Praise

Praise gets the focus off of ourselves and directed back to God.

Praise brings us to a place of humility.

Praise causes the enemy to flee.

Praise leaves no room for complaining and negativity.

Praise opens the way for God’s blessings over our lives.

Praise invites His presence, and our spirit is refreshed and renewed.

Praise paves the way for God’s power to be displayed.

Praise shared through our testimonies serves to encourage others.

I found another article, 31 Ways To Praise.  Please take the time to look it over as well; hopefully, you’ll choose to utilize it.

Everything That Has Breath
