Hebrews 13:15

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

Praising God helps us get our minds off the situation and onto God who will solve the problem.  It will feel like a sacrifice because the flesh will only want to complain to God over the situation.  However, to turn the problem around, we need to change our focus to the solution over the circumstance. Thanksgiving and praise to God is the way to do it.
