Instead of cowering in fear as rockets exploded, believers chose to praise God as they hunkered down in a bomb shelter in their country. They sang, danced, drummed, as missiles streaked the air, destroying buildings around them. When stressful situations are pummeling you, what is your response? Praise is essential to keep our minds focused on God, so we can cope. Check out this episode, 30-Distressed? Three Ways Praise Breaks Chains of Depression.
