Praise, appears to be a plain and simple word, but when exercised provides an unmeasurable means of communication with God. Praise is defined as love, respect, and gratitude to God for His blessings that we take for granted each and everyday. Praise provides a favorable means to express our love to God and to glorify Him. Praising God is powerful, which can be used as a weapon to fend off satans attacks in our lives. God does not send tragedies and turmoil into our lives, that is a lie from the pit of hell. People who have encountered depression, anxiety, loneliness, may not have had the experience with praising God before. We are to remain faithful, trusting and praiseworthy no matter what is happening in our current situation. Praise is personal, between you and God and no one else. We can share with Him our inner most thoughts and dreams at anytime. Praise realigns our priorities, creates a positive attitude, improves our self esteem, builds confidence, and brings a joyful spirit within.
Remember, praising God removes us from the present into HIS presence.
