Worship is Warfare (not worry, doubt and fear).
Worship is our battle position!
Read 2 Chronicles 20:14-25. Jehoshaphat took his battle position of worship (bowing down). When they obeyed God's battle plan to praise and worship, their enemies were defeated and destroyed. Often, when we face trials, difficulties, opposition, etc. our response is to become burdened, fearful, worried, and just want to give up, but, especially in the battles that are really not ours to fight, we are to keep our focus on our Mighty God and to continue to praise and worship Him in the midst of the battle and no matter what our circumstances look like (we are to live and walk by faith and not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7).
When we begin to feel overwhelmed or depressed from a situation, Isaiah 61:3 tells us to "put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness..."
