7 Reasons To Praise God During A Crisis

7 Reasons To Praise God During A Crisis 

It is easy to praise God when things are going good in our lives. You have no stress, bills are paid, no sickness, and  no family issues. But what about when things are not going good? Do you still praise God? It is hard as you are focused on the problem and fixing it. Here are 7 reasons why you should praise God during a crisis. 

1. God Is a God of Hope

There is always hope in God. When we were little, we used to say things like, “I hope I get that new toy.” Or, “I hope we go on vacation” When we talk about this kind of hope, it is an immediate action. 

When we speak of hope in the Bible it is an expectation. Our hope should be in God. 

We can exercise our faith by praising Him in all circumstances.

2. God Is Our Healer

One of God’s names is Jehovah Rapha: The God who heals. Jeremiah tells us in Jeremiah 17:14, Heal me and I will be healed…for you are the one I praise.

In Exodus 23:25, the people were instructed to worship God and He would take away sickness.

In 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 God tells his people to humble themselves and pray. He tells them to seek His face and turn from their ways. God is listening when we pray, and God does heal.

3. God Is Almighty

As humans, we get tired. Isn’t it wonderful to know that Ephesians 6:10 tells us to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might?

No wonder God invites us to come to him when we are weak and heavy burdened (Matthew 11:28). God wants to give us rest for our souls. He knew we would get tired.

Remember God is the one who made the earth, and Jeremiah 10:12 tells us God made it by His power.

4. God Answers Your Prayers

Do you feel that sometimes your prayers are not even heard? It’s not true. There are times God’s answer is not the answer we want. But by praising Him through our trials, we learn to trust in God’s wisdom. He see that God knows what our future holds, because he holds our future.

Psalm 91:14-16 tells us that not only will God set us securely on high, but when we call on Him, He will answer us.

In Exodus 3:7, The Lord saw the affliction of His people and was aware of their suffering. God knows when we hurt. Sometimes when God allows our hurt, it feels like He doesn’t care. But we can’t trust our feelings, for they are fickle. We can trust our Father.

5. God Is Our Creator

Out of absolutely nothing, God made everything you see. And every time, before God rested, he looked over everything he made and said it was very good.

God created us in our mother’s womb. Every little part of you was thought up long ago. God knows everything about us. How many hairs we have on our heads (Luke 12:7) and our every thought  (Psalm 139:2). 

6. God Is Our Shield

God told Abram in Genesis that God was his shield. God is also our shield. God knew we’d need protection. Before sin entered the world, Adam and Eve walked with God. They were safe. But once sin entered the world, things changed.

Psalm 18:2 tells us that the Lord is our rock and our fortress; someone we can take refuge in. When things scare us, we can try hiding, but that gives no comfort. If we run, let it be to God where we can be safe.

7. God Is Our Father

The Bible tells us as a good father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. And the meaning of fear in that verse is reverential trust (Psalm 103:13).

Even when we are disciplined in this life, it is out of love (Proverbs 3:11-12). When we trust in what Jesus did for us, the Bible tells us that we become children of God (John 1:12).
