Praise Follows Answered Prayer

Have you seen God help you recently? Was there a concern lifted or a fear avoided? It is our tendency to run to Him when we need help and forget to return for praise and thanksgiving after He has "been there" for us. Monday I read this in Morning & Evening:
Praise should always follow answered prayer; as the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Hath the Lord been gracious to thee, and inclined his ear to the voice of thy supplication? Then praise him as long as thou livest. Let the ripe fruit drop upon the fertile soil from which it drew its life. Deny not a song to him who hath answered thy prayer and given thee the desire of thy heart. --Charles Spurgeon
