this weekend: Psalms of Praise (after struggle) There is a difference between the praise of a child, singing at the top of their lungs and flinging their arms to the sky and an someone older saying, ‘God is good’ in the face of difficult news. The praise that comes aſter struggle or in the face of uncer- tainty is unlike other praise. It’s easy for those on the out- side to think that we are not hurng because we’re praising God. But maybe we should think about the way the sun feels aſter the storm– we sll have some cleaning up to do, but we can’t help but to bask in it’s warmth. God, help us to feel your presence in mes of struggle like the warmth of sun aſter a storm; to have confidence in Your future for us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
