One of my friends was in tears on a beautiful summer day, unable to deal with life’s difficulties. Another could not look beyond the life-altering sadnesses of her past. Still another struggled with the closing of the small church he had pastored faithfully. A fourth friend had lost his job at a local ministry.
What can our struggling friends—or any of us—do to find hope? Where do we turn when tomorrow offers no happy promises?
We can praise or “bless” the Lord, as David said in Psalm 103. In the middle of trouble, acknowledging God’s role in our lives can redirect our thinking from the hurts of our hearts and force us to dwell instead on the greatness of our God. David knew trouble. He faced the threat of enemies, the consequences of his own sin, and the challenges of sorrow. Yet he also recognized the healing power of praise.
That’s why in Psalm 103 he can list reasons to turn our attention to God, who gives us many benefits: He forgives us, heals us, redeems us, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and renews us. David reminds us that God provides justice and righteousness, and He is gracious and loving.
Take it from David: Praising God’s greatness puts hope in our troubled hearts.

AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“Sanctify them through thy truth.”
- John 17:17
Sanctification begins in regeneration. The Spirit of God infuses into man
that new living principle by which he becomes “a new creature” in Christ
Jesus. This work, which begins in the new birth, is carried on in two
ways-mortification, whereby the lusts of the flesh are subdued and kept
under; and vivification, by which the life which God has put within us is
made to be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life. This is
carried on every day in what is called “perseverance,” by which the
Christian is preserved and continued in a gracious state, and is made to
abound in good works unto the praise and glory of God; and it culminates
or comes to perfection, in “glory,” when the soul, being thoroughly
purged, is caught up to dwell with holy beings at the right hand of the
Majesty on high. But while the Spirit of God is thus the author of
sanctification, yet there is a visible agency employed which must not be
forgotten. “Sanctify them,” said Jesus, “through thy truth: thy word is
truth.” The passages of Scripture which prove that the instrument of our
sanctification is the Word of God are very many. The Spirit of God brings
to our minds the precepts and doctrines of truth, and applies them with
power. These are heard in the ear, and being received in the heart, they
work in us to will and to do of God’s good pleasure. The truth is the
sanctifier, and if we do not hear or read the truth, we shall not grow in
sanctification. We only progress in sound living as we progress in sound
understanding. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.”
Do not say of any error, “It is a mere matter of opinion.
“ No man indulges an error of judgment, without sooner or later tolerating
an error in practice.
Hold fast the truth, for by so holding the truth shall you be sanctified
by the Spirit of God.
