Perhaps most significantly, when going through a rough patch, and even just the “blahs,” keep in mind that worship is warfare. Fear, anxiety, sadness, depression, negative thoughts, anger, shame, and regret cannot exist when our spirits are connecting with the Lord in praise. Worship changes the atmosphere around us, each physically and spiritually. When we praise the Lord, we’re declaring to the enemy and over ourselves that the spirit of the Lord dwells and reigns here. In your automotive, in your kitchen, on the subway, in your office, on the gym. And where the spirit of the Lord is, there’s freedom. And that, friends, will at all times be reason enough to praise.
