Praise in the Pressure
Day 4 – Praise in the Pressure
 
Focus Scripture: Psalm 34:1 (NKJV)
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
Let’s be real, sis—this isn’t easy.
 
This is the kind of praise that costs something.
The kind of praise you give when your back is against the wall.
The kind of praise that rises not after the battle is over—but while you’re still bleeding.
 
Today is not about pretty worship.
It’s not about lifting your hands because everything is perfect.
Today is about raw, real, battle-born worship—the kind that emerges from the trenches and says:
“I STILL choose to bless Him.”

Can You Worship When You’re Weary?
 
Can you sing when your heart is shattered?
Can you raise a hallelujah through the heartbreak?
Can you offer up glory when grief is strangling your chest?
 
That’s the question before you today.
 
Because mature faith doesn’t wait until the miracle comes.
Mature faith says,
“I’ll praise Him right here—in the pressure, in the prison, in the pain—because I know who He is.”

This Praise Doesn’t Wait—It Wages War
 
This is war-time worship.
This is the sound of a woman who refuses to let the enemy silence her song.
 
Because here’s the truth:
  • When praise goes up in the pressure, the chains begin to break.
  • When praise rises in the storm, the atmosphere begins to shift.
  • When you worship in your weariness, hell backs up—because your praise says, “I still believe God is worthy.”
 
Praise isn’t what we do after the fire.
Praise is how we walk through it.

For the Woman of 
Encouraging Her Resilience
 
You’ve praised Him while navigating trauma.
You’ve smiled through the sting of shame.
You’ve danced in ashes, clapped with calloused hands, and wept in silence—
But still, you’ve kept a song in your spirit.
 
You are the kind of woman this challenge was made for.
You are the one who will rise out of the fire—not burned, not bitter—but blessed because you refused to let your pain steal your praise.
 
You’ve praised through poverty.
You’ve praised through addiction.
You’ve praised through heartbreak.
Now praise like the promise is already here.

There’s Power in Your Sound
 
Hell doesn’t fear your tears.
It fears your praise.
 
Because praise confuses the enemy.
Praise invites the glory.
Praise releases deliverance.
Praise reminds your soul who God is—and reminds your situation that you will not be moved.

 Day 4 Challenge:
 
Find your voice again. Let praise rise above the pressure.
 
Here’s what I want you to do:
  1. Turn on a worship song that ignites your spirit.
  2. Write down everything you’ve been battling in silence.
  3. Next to each one, write a praise that declares God’s power over it.
  4. Then say out loud:
“I will bless the Lord at ALL times—this pressure will NOT steal my praise.”
 
Even if you can’t say it loudly—say it anyway.
Even if you’re crying while you say it—say it anyway.
Even if all you have is a whisper—Heaven still hears it as a weapon.

 Today’s Declaration:
 
“My pressure will not silence my praise.
I will bless the Lord when it hurts.
I will worship when I’m weary.
I will lift my voice when the pain says be quiet.
I will bless Him at ALL times—
Not because of what I feel,
But because of who He is.
Praise is my power.
Praise is my posture.
Praise is my breakthrough.”
Sis, the storm may still be raging,
but the moment your praise rises—
everything in the spirit begins to shift.
 
Lift your voice.
Lift your head.
Because your praise is pushing you through.

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie

Founder, Encouraging Her Resilience
Certified Addiction Counselor & Recovery Coach
