Question

You all are such an encouragement to me! How wonderful to be in the same forum with a wonderful bunch of God praisers! I cannot decide who has the best answer so this goes to the vote! May the Lord bless you all!

Answer 1

That's a quality I must say took me way too long to learn. I stayed a baby Christian way too long because I was bent toward whining and complaining instead of trusting the Lord and praising Him through the hard times. It makes me sad to think of all the time I wasted pity partying instead of growing closer to the Lord. It's a funny thing, how the more you praise God through the hard times,it certainly seems that there are fewer of them. I think if you're just gona praise God and draw closer and closer to Him through suffering, Satan just isn't as interested in messing with you. Just a theory. God bless!!

Answer 2

I think it is extremely important to praise him then. God inhabits the praises of his people. What we see as trouble may just be the beginning of a miracle for us. People have lost jobs only to get a better one...Some of the people who lived in New Orleans during the Hurricane, have found a real home in other places, that they like better than New Orleans. And sometimes, just the lesson we learn from trouble can be worth it..I have heard people say, that overcoming a disease, has made them stronger..So, I praise him, even in times of trouble because only he knows how things will work out. The end result may be just what I needed.

Answer 3

Praise is the most important tool a Christian possess.Praise during the storm proves that we have faith in God above.Praise healed the Samaritan woman's daughter when she had been rejected even by the Lord, Matthew 15.

Answer 4

This is one of my areas that I'm still growing in. I think it is very important, because it shows my trust in Him.

I also try to remember the following 3 truths:

1) Of the infinite number of options of how my life should play out in the particular moment.....He is the wisest...and He has picked the best path for my life.

2) He is all-powerful...which is why I trust that He is able to act on Truth #1.

3) I am not God, and I do not have His mind....so I may not understand Truth #1

OH oH Oh, ME ME ME.

It is very important. Read the story of Job (pernounced JOBE) in the OT. God took away everything from Job, but because he stayed diligent to the Lord he was rewarded immensely.

I have and I will. Even if nothing else, it helps to relieve some of the anxiety. But the Lord inhabits our praise, so He is right there for us.

Answer 7

Peace of soul may well be won in the path of the perception in Jesus. besides the undeniable fact that, I worked on soul looking and peace of soul one after the different, and nonetheless do, ideals help to help in peace. Having a non violent soul facilitates by way of trials and burdens of existence better than maximum different issues. a non violent soul facilitates to discipline the concepts. maximum emotions that upload to trials and burdens come from a under pressure concepts. Having discipline to maintain the concepts at peace aids in navigation by way of confusing trials and burdens.
