When should we to talk to God and praise Him? Through all things!
I have found that talking with God is my "prescription" for many things that ail me. The Bible tells us in Mark 1:35 ESV "And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed". Jesus himself sought solitude to pray (talk) with God. He made it his priority and even rose before the sun. I have been trying to get up before everyone else in my family to pray and converse with God early in the morning. I admit that with the recent holidays I have strayed from this, but I have seen that when I don't set aside time to tell God what's on my mind my day is a little rougher. Ultimately, I will have to find some time during the day to pour out my heart.
"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint". Is. 40:31 ESV
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me." Pr. 8:17 ESV
I have really been searching for God's voice in my life. I really try to set aside at least 15-30 minutes a day for prayer. Priscilla Shirer's book "Discerning the Voice of God" might be another way for me to find God's voice in my life. She starts the book by showing how God talked to his people in the past and how he talks to them now. Look for a book review in the future on this one.
Here is a song to send you on your way and remember to praise God and pour out your heart to HIM in all things. Even through the storms in your life.
