How Praising God Can Help You Deal with Challenges By Whitney Hopler  Bible Reading "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that openly profess his name." – Hebrews 13:15, NIV  Recently, I've been dealing with several serious challenges simultaneously. Thinking about all of those situations makes me feel overwhelmed. But one practice always helps me let go of the stress and find peace: praising God.
