Melissa Overmyer, author of Living the Blessed Life: Seven Keys to Trusting God and Embracing Joy, joins Matt Swaim to discuss the first “S” in her approach to living a blessed life: song and worship. Melissa explains how praising God—even when we don't feel like it—can pull us out of sadness and refocus our hearts on His goodness. Drawing on the Psalms, the Mass, Brother Lawrence's Practicing the Presence of God, and her own experience of losing everything in a house fire, Melissa shares practical ways to make worship and awareness of God's presence part of everyday life.
