"LORD, I PRAISE THEE"

To my sisters in Christ....Do you ever feel downharted or discouraged? Frequently in facing difficult situations, our whole being seems paralyzed. We are perplexed as to what we should do. May I suggest that this is the time to PRAISE. If you praise at this moment, the Spirit of god will begin to work to bring you to the place where all the doors open and every chain falls off. He who sings is free; we can transcend every situation; nothing-no person or thing- can cause us to be downhearted.

In offering the sacrifice of PRAISE, one puts herself into a triumphant position.
PRAISE is never defeated!
We shoul lift our head in the most difficult situation and say..."LORD I PRAISE YOU"
It is foolish to murmur...the more you murmur the deeper you are buried in your trouble.
The more you fret the greater the pressure builds up within. The problems almost overcome you. When you offer the sacrifice of PRAISE---you will quickly transcend everything.
Nothing can bury you!
Psalm 55: 17 says..."Evening and morning and noon will I pray"
Psalm 119: 164 says..."Seven times a day do I PRAISE thee..."
The Psalms are filled with praise. Praise is victory!
Psalm 67: 3,5 says..."Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee."

Begin today to literally PRAISE HIM seven times this day!! Count the times!
Seven times a day say "LORD, I PRAISE THEE"

Praise Him for: wounded feelings...losses...trouble...when you are misunderstood...
and of course all the many (specific) blessings He bestows on us!

This came from a letter my mom sent me years ago...I found it the other day and thought this would be a blessing to share! We were made to PRAISE HIM!!

What can YOU PRAISE God for TODAY?

Praise helps to take the focus off of ME and puts it on the LORD! Thank you for the reminder Cami!!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!!! I like looking out for things to praise God for, rather than focus on sad things. He blesses us every day...we just have to look otu for it. :)
