It’s amazing how the Lord leads you to so many new things when you are seeking Him! Every night as I’m busy working on lessons for my girls, because we homeschool, I like to listen to a sermon or testimony. Tonight, the video below came up on my YouTube feed. At first it didn’t stand out to me, but something told me I needed to watch it. When I tell you that I literally had chills by the end of this video! This woman’s story is incredible and is a perfect example of trusting the Lord and praising Him through life’s difficulties. I had to share this because it was so inspiring to me and deeply spoke to me. It’s well worth watching the video in its entirety.

If you took the time to watch the video, you are undoubtedly as amazed as I am. My life struggles are miniscule in comparison. Her story brought another aspect of what praising the Lord is and that is… praising Him even when we may not ever see the reason for our pain and struggles. Not only praising Him but also thanking Him and trusting Him. Can you thank me? Can I trust you? Can you trust Me? Imagine receiving these questions from our Creator. I pray that I can make this my attitude, to purposefully praise Him through my struggles and uncertainties. To remove the focus from myself and my life story and remember always that it is all to bring absolute glory to our Heavenly Father.
