Instead of focusing on the stresses and challenges that sometimes await us, let us think about the Lord God who can help us conquer whatever we may face (Romans 8:37). Worship God. Honor Him for who He is. Meditate upon His attributes. Praise Him for our Salvation and all the ways He has helped us in the past. Let us thank Him for even greater provision, protection, and evidence of His love in the future. Open the Word and read about all the ways our God faithfully delivered His people throughout history. We need to express our gratefulness that He is present and powerful in our lives. When we worship the Almighty, our troubles will no longer seem overwhelming! Surely nothing can stand against us when we walk with Him. Therefore let us put our hopes in God. — Psalm 95:6-7
