Yeah I've always believed in that fact too that when you try all means and it proves abortive, try praising God. It's just that we mostly do find it difficult to praise God and not even ask when we are in times of challenges.
Generally, being positive in times of challenges and raising our hopes definitely attract positive outcome than wailing in our bad times and speaking negativity to ourselves. That was quite an amazing experience or should I say testimony you just shared and sure, everything is worth thanksgiving
