Have you ever been in a difficult situation that makes you want to crawl up in a ball and cry but you know you should thank and praise God anyway; You know that it is only faith that moves God? Sometimes this is something that is super difficult! Look at what King David said;"I WILL bless the Lord at ALL times, His praise will always be on my lips." (Ps 34:1) 

There is something powerful about saying "I WILL"; taking control of all feelings and making them bow to the truth of God’s word! No matter how you feel...Praise him and thank him anyway. 

Ps 96:1  Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.  Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.  Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.  For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

Isaiah 61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion– to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.

The only way to have abundant increase is to believe God no matter what it looks like! You must trust that he loves you and will never let you down!

Heb 13:5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have because God has said,“Never will I leave you;never will I forsake you.”

When you praise and thank God during difficult times, it’s a sacrifice because your self-trust must die! Check out these two powerful scriptures!

Hebrews 13:15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

Psalm 50:21 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way that I may show him the salvation of God.

Thanking and praising God during difficult times is the fastest way to break through! Believe God no matter what the cost! Trust God even when it makes no sense! I promise you – he is entirely trust-worthy! Come on! Let the praises of God be stirred up within you right now! Say it and believe it! Be determined and on the inside declare an unequivocal…

I WILL!
