Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God. Psalm 42:11

 One of the necessary essentials in a soldier’s first aid pack is a blood clotting solution to stop the wound from bleeding out. Many lives have been saved by this miracle medicine and soldiers are alive to share their stories of survival on the battlefield.

 As a child of God, you too are on the battlefield. Satan does everything in his power to weaken your faith by causing personal injury to our mind, soul, and even your body. If he can distract you from your focus on God, he can turn your spiritual wounds into rivers of depression, regret, anger, and feeling worthless.

 Thankfully God has an antidote for your injury, praising God! When you praise God, you literally stop bleeding out the joy and peace He provides, and your focus turns to Him. He loves praise and when received, He blesses you with His presence in the form of healing, forgiveness, hope, and restores that confidence needed when facing the enemy of fear.  

 Life has its difficulties and sometimes brings pain to your soul. Don’t let it bleed out the goodness of God from your life. Trust God and give Him the praise He so rightly deserves. It’s the best antidote to life’s painful moments. God bless!
