i have no title for this one . . .

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

- Psalm 103:1

Praise the Lord my soul!

Well that certainly brings up a song reference!

Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up
It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

You're rich in love
And You're slow to anger
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find

And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
Forevermore

Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name

How many times are we told to praise Him?

Praise Him through everything, the good, the bad, the ugly.

Yes, it is hard sometimes.

Oh, it can be a real struggle to praise Him when it feels like the world is crashing in around us.

But I can tell you from personal experience: when the world is crashing down, He is there, holding us and loving us and setting us back on our feet.

Just believe.

And praise Him.
