Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? How about one of those weeks, months, or even years? I’m sure we have all been there a time or two. It’s hard to praise God when you think He isn’t listening. Prayers go unanswered and you find yourself questioning everything, even your faith. After all, doesn’t it say that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed nothing is impossible? So, does this mean our faith is smaller than a mustard seed? There are many reasons why our prayers might go unanswered. When this happens, perhaps it is a good time to do a little self-evaluation. Just keep in mind that unanswered prayers don’t always mean we have done something wrong. Sometimes God has a plan, but He is waiting for the perfect time to reveal it to us.

“For there is a time and a way for everything,
although
man's trouble lies heavy on him”.
Troubles can indeed weigh heavily upon us even
when we are faithful and patient. However, God promises that He will never
leave us nor forsake us. His timing and His ways are perfect. So, no matter how
difficult the storm we must bear, we should always praise Him.
I read a story not long ago about a farmer and a donkey.

The moral…..
Life is going to
shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is
to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We
can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake
it off and take a step up.
When life throws dirt on you, as you shake it off
and take a step up, don’t forget to praise our Holy God for His mercy and
Grace. When things don’t go as planned and we feel like we can’t take any more
pain, praise Him anyway. He is worthy of our praise.

It is very important to praise Him in the happy times and in the times not so happy. Relish and praise in the storm because sunny days will certainly follow.
