The Bible instructs–and experience teaches–that praising God results in our burdens being lifted and our joys being multiplied.

From Psalm 138:1-3:  “I give You thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing Your praise; I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything.  On the day I called, You answered me; You increased my strength of soul.”
