When Days Are Difficult

When days are difficult and times are hard, you have a choice. You may choose to complain, but that really may not change anything. It could make things more difficult. There is a better choice. Choose to praise God. With God all things are possible. God has never seen a problem that He cannot change. That's the power of praise. "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God" (Hebrews 13:15).

You may find yourself one day in a situation that seems impossible. You make your requests known unto God and the circumstances remain the same. Prayer is far more than telling God what you want Him to do. Prayer should always include praise to God in all things. The power of praise is the power of God. "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised" (Psalm 145:3).

When you come to difficult times, remember that God your heavenly Father rules over all. There is no situation beyond His power. When you have prayed your requests to God and nothing seems to change, it's time for you to change your prayer. Praise God that He rules in the situations of life. He is sovereign over all things. Praise Him for who He is. Praise recognizes the power of God.

Praise is the language of heaven. There the praise continues forever. The same language of praise brings the power of heaven into your life. The sacrifice of praise will change you through the power of God.
