Praise Me Instead
"All I ask is that you shake off the discouragement, stop asking why, and begin to praise me instead." (I Hear His Whisper, July 7)
I have been experiencing the power of praise in my life. I'm learning that being discouraged will get me to a place I really don't want to camp out in; and asking questions when I'm really hurting will cause me to doubt even more. Instead, I've been choosing to sit at my piano and pour out my praise to God as I release everything on my heart to Him. It takes away the heaviness in my heart and connects me with the beauty and power of a God who loves me with all of His heart.
