Friends, sometimes life is hard, and our hearts break open and bleed. Sometimes we even wonder if our prayers are really enough. During these times, do you (like me!) feel like a weary warrior ready to run away and hide?

But the Bible reminds us that hope is NEVER lost. Even in our darkest times, if we choose to praise God through our pain, He will supernaturally fill us with His overwhelming joy, peace, and strength. In Nehemiah 8:10, He tells us that “the joy of the Lord IS our strength.”

What wonderful thing has God done for you lately? What prayer has He answered?

Today, let’s fill UP our souls with songs of grateful praise!!!

Even when life doesn’t go how we want, we can still offer God hearts full of thanksgiving.

“O Lord, you are my God, I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for YOU have done WONDERFUL things!” Isaiah 25:1
