I have been through a rough childhood and a rough marriage-both verbally and physically. When I gave my life over to Jesus in 1979 and as a young Christian, I did not know what was biblically right or wrong. Having two children to support and facing the struggles of life, I turned to the Word of God and read motivational books.Regardless of our problems or difficulties when we praise God, our focus shifts. We become aware of who He is and His love for us.We all have tiring days, minor setbacks, and unexpected expenses. As believers, we can choose to find strength by praising God or we may sinkinto despair.
