In its common usage, praise is the act of making positive statements about a person, object or idea, either in public or privately. Praise is typically, but not exclusively, earned relative to achievement and accomplishment. Praise is often contrasted with criticism, where the latter is held to mean exclusively negative statements made about something, although this is not technically correct (see also Blame).

In religion, praise is an impassioned exaltation of God (ie. a Supreme Being, or Creation), typically as an expression of gratitude for one's life or being. In other cases, praise may be tied to more situational aspects of living, such as health and prosperity.

Praise and psychology

This section requires expansion.

Most people are responsive to praise and will increase in self-esteem or confidence if a suitable amount of praise is received. Some psychological theories hold that a person's life is comprised largely of attempts to win praise for their actions. However, some people are less affected by or even averse to praise, for example people with autism or schizoid personality disorder.

What is the difference between a "praise team" and a choir?
Q. I recently heard about a praise team, and after Googling the phrase, it seems to be a much more contemporary term for a church choir. Am I right, or is there some difference between the two? What exactly is a "praise team"?

How difficult is it to praise God during the difficulty?
Q. Is it possible that the painful or difficult situation is there as an opportunity to choose to praise God continually regardless of the circumstances? This does not mean that God created the difficulty - humans are quite capable of creating hurtful circumstances on their own. That is not the point of this Q. Praising God during the 'dark moments of the soul' may sound easy to some, but it can be a difficult personal practice for others, and sharing some helpful suggestions would be quite beneficial to many. Thanks.

A. There's a hymn which has the line, "And even though our tomorrows be good or filled with ill, we'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still." Only faith can enable that to happen. I was once depressed and had lost all the joy of the Lord. But he 'spoke' to me through a piece of religious music on the radio that night and as the words of that song reminded me of the glorious resurrection of Christ, my heart was filled with great joy that made me laugh and weep with relief, and I could then praise God. The next day I was able to reach out to two relatives who visited. If I had not been released from my gloom by the power of praise, that might not have happened. Why is praise so critical? Because the Bible says that God… [cont.]
