Praise is power.

Psalms 22.3
But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

Every time you praise God, something extraordinary happens. God inhabits, dwells and enthornes the praises of his people. When you praise God,  God shows up.

You remember Paul and Silas were put in prison for preaching the gospel. They were beaten very bad and were in chains. There was no reason to praise God in that moment. They didn't feel like praising God. But the word says Paul and Silas started signing and praising God. They made a decision to praise God inspite of the terrible challenges they were facing. As they were praising God, there was an earthquake and the foundation of the prison was shaken and chains came out of their hands and the prison doors were opened. Hallelujah. Praise is powerful. Friend, you may be in a similar situation as Paul and Silas. You see no reason to praise God. Things may be tough right now. Many challenges may be surrounding you. Just like Paul and Silas, I encourage you no matter what you are going through, just begin to praise God.  To praise means to exalt, to magnify, to speak highly of. As you take your eyes away from the problems, the difficulties and challenges and begin to praise God, God will show up and when God shows up, the foundation of that problem will he shaken.

Praising God is a choice. Make a quality decision to exalt him. Tell him that he is All powerful. There is nothing that he cannot do. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Jesus is Lord.
