We are prone to praise God only when we feel like it.  It is easy to praise Him in the high emotion of corporate worship.  Does He not deserve our praise when we do not feel like it?  Yes!  Do we not need to praise for our own good when we are emotionally drained?  Yes!  Praise Him with your mind intentionally, even when your emotions may be saying something else.  If we only praise Him when we feel like it, we may be worshipping our feelings.  Let praise be intentional.

“I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1
