Meant to Overcome Not Forget
"The time we spend praising God together is not meant to be an escape from reality, or a time to forget about our troubles and our cares. Quite the opposite. When we worship God, we are gaining a truer picture of reality than we'll ever have. That is the time to look directly at our problems and say, "God is bigger than you!" We aren't meant to forget our troubles; we're meant to overcome them by the Word and the Spirit of God" (from "Corporate Worship: Responding to God" by Bob Kauflin).

thank you so much, dan. i can't even begin to tell you how the Lord has used this to fix my eyes more on Him this morning.
Fits well with the note I've recently rediscovered in my Bible margin. Next to Ps. 77:12-13, I have written, "when overwhelmed, ponder God's work."
Psalm 77:12-13
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
