Dear Ladies,

We are starting an in-depth, 6-week Bible study, The Extraordinary Power of Praise by Becky Harling. Dates are Sept. 26–Nov. 14. The theme is how to turn your anxious heart toward God’s praise. Delving into key Psalms, we find a pattern to follow—pouring our hearts out to God and being honest about how overwhelmed we feel. As we dwell on His attributes, with the Almighty as our refuge, we learn to praise God by faith. Even when worshipping in the dark, in pain and sorrow, we wait for answered prayers, enduring discouragement, anger, or doubts. When we rest in our faith, then peace and even joy can overflow in our hearts.
