Hear a conversation with Bethany and Carol as they share their individual experiences in part 1 of a two-part series on having joy in loneliness.

"P" Series: Praise!

Praise the Lord!
Praising can bring us Joy. How can we praise Him when we’re hurting, or the world seems to be falling apart? God is in control no matter what comes, and is the same yesterday today, and forever so that’s a big reason to praise him! The world is sinful but we can’t lose heart because God is in control. Truth: God is our provider, our refuge, our sustainer, and our strength. He is always with us through everything. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
