Life tends to throw us some curve balls sometimes, and I know that when it does, I am not the one who dances or looks for the best. I have been working on that. I do get anxious and do think and overthink and tend to go into panic mode.... but there in the midst of it all I am thinking of the one who is in control of all things. God. And as I dwell on that and remember all the times he has been there for me or a loved one... all the times he has held us, loved us, healed us; my fears and worries start to slip further away.
This image just reminds me that even in the hard times we should praise God. He is worthy of all of our praises even when we do not feel like praying or praising. We should be joyful always singing unto our Lord and being thankful in all things and situations. Easier said than done. I know, but he tells us to
