Praise him even when it is dark

It is so easy to praise God when life is good and my blessings are so easy to see. When life isn't blowing kisses anymore.. it is so hard to praise God for the blessings you still have.
So, I will praise the Lord for the blessings through the curses.

Praise Him for not leaving me alone.
Praise Him for sheltering me.
Praise Him for loving me, even when I am mad at Him.
Praise Him for giving me strength and courage.
Praise Him for my precious children.
Praise Him for my incredible husband.
Praise Him for placing good, sound, loving friends in my life.
Praise Him for knowing what I need and when I need it.. even if I don't agree.
Praise Him for softening my heart and hardening my resolve.
