Praise God Anyway

Share your problems with God in prayer. More than that, praise God in the midst of the problems. Even if God chooses not to change your circumstances, it will change your attitude and thoughts. Look above your problems and praise God anyway.

Praise is the language of heaven. The praise of God never stops there. The song of heaven knows no end. Your prayers and songs of praise to God connects with heaven. Praise changes our hearts and our focus. We are no longer focused upon the problems but the one who is the solution.

God can change any situation in your life anytime he pleases. In a word, he is sovereign over heaven and earth. As you praise God, he may choose to bring amazing changes. However, if he chooses not to change your outward circumstances, praise God anyway. He will sustain you with grace on the way to victory over those circumstances.

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name (Hebrews 13:15, ESV). When everything goes wrong, praise God anyway. That's the sacrifice of praise. God rules over all. Offer praise to God through the hard times, as well as the good. Praise God through it all. Praise God anyway!
