Not scripture, but a quote from The Angelic Doctor, St. Anselm himself. No matter what happens, we need to praise the Lord. This could look like what we typically think of as praise and thanks, but it could also include laments. Laments are somewhat foreign in most mainstream churches in America today, but we need to embrace them rather than simply ignore horrible things in our lives because they don’t look as glorious as we might want them to. If your life doesn’t look like an instagram post, don’t worry. Lament, cry out to God for answers, allow yourself to feel those things, then praise your way through.
