Sometimes we struggle with praising the Lord. We think how can I praise when everything is going bad? The Bible says to pray without ceasing. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, In everything give thanks; For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thess 5:16-18 NKJV Sometimes praise is a sacrifice, because it is hard.God doesn't say praise when it is easy. If you can praise through the hard times, The sad times he will be there. Hebrews 13:15-16 : "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." I find that if I praise during the hard times, the difficulties seem to pass quicker. Even though I am crying praise makes it better it brings me comfort and peace. A peace that is so enduring, that nothing matters, but God.

Give God all the Glory!

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ASV) We are human and yes we walk through life as a earthly being, we have to remember that true war is fought on the spiritual plane, And that is God's Specialty we must lay these strongholds at his feet and pray that he releases the Holy Spirit and we must give him all the glory and praise. Trust God give him control. Put on the Worship Music and give Him all the Glory, always remember to give him all the praise and glory.
