How can we praise God when we feel emotionally unwell

Feeling stressed out? Anxious ? Fearful? Swipe through to find out how you can regain your strength on days like today when we feel like we just can’t praise God.

1. When we’re feeling emotionally unwell, praising can be a powerful tool to uplift our spirits. It might feel challenging at first, but starting with simple, honest expressions of gratitude can gradually shift our focus from negative feelings to positive ones. Even if we don’t feel like it, choosing to praise can help us reconnect with God’s goodness and love.
2. Putting on worship music during our dark days can be incredibly soothing. Music has a unique ability to touch our hearts and minds, creating an atmosphere of peace and hope. Allowing worship music to fill our homes or rooms can bring a sense of God’s presence, reminding us that we’re not alone in our struggles.
3. Taking a walk in nature is a beautiful way to admire God’s handiwork. Nature has a way of calming our minds and lifting our spirits. As we observe the beauty around us, we can reflect on God’s creativity and care, finding comfort in the knowledge that the same God who created the vastness of nature cares deeply for us.
4. Spending time with people who love God can be a source of strength and encouragement. Even if we don’t feel like participating in conversations, simply being in the presence of others who share our faith can be uplifting. Listening to their stories of faith and seeing God at work in their lives can remind us of His faithfulness and goodness.
5. Psalm 62:1 reminds us that our souls find rest in God. In moments of emotional turmoil, it’s crucial to remember that God is always near, offering us rest and salvation. No matter how far we may feel from Him, His love and grace are always within reach, ready to bring us peace and comfort.
