ARE WE GOING TO BE REMEMBERING GOD ONLY WHEN WE ARE IN NEED?

As I reflect on the past two farming seasons in Zambia,I am struck by a profound realization. In 2023, farmers prepared well for 2023/2024 farming season, people bought seeds and fertilizers,they prepared their fields well in readiness for the rain season.
Time came,it rained and all the farmers were very happy and they started their works very well,they planted different varieties in their fields hoping to have a good harvest, suddenly the rains went before their crops were ready,it was a very hard season for some farmers didn't manage to harvest any single grain from their fields, even those who managed to harvest it was only for their families to keep them going.
It became a hard time for everyone but thanks to the government which brought some programs like (Cash for work,Mita ufole and some other programs)just to support the lives of people.
Churches spared some time out of their church programs to pray asking God to help us by giving us rains in the following season which is 2024/2025 season. Many gospel and other song artists like ( Choolwe Sikabanze Music who released a song asking God where he has gone,in his song he asked God to look into the world to see how his people are suffering, also released a song asking God to give us rains, and many more) released songs to ask God for help.

Fast-forward to 2024, farmers again started preparing for the rain season, although others were very disappointed with the previous season so they didn't want to try again, but thanks to who released a song titled mulimi,in his song he encouraged farmers not to give up to try again,he stated that if the farmers give up on planting again,they will kill the country with hunger.
Time came and people planted, there was enough rains and almost everyone who planted harvested.
Right now there is a lot of maize and other harvests around all corners of the country, thanks be to God who listened to our prayers.

Now the main story of this is;
When there was hunger, churches organized programs to pray for rains, musicians released songs to ask God for help and God answered.
Now that God has answered,I have never heard of any church which organized any programs to thank God for answering our prayers and not even one artist has released a song to thank God for answering our prayers.

My question is:
(ARE WE GOING TO BE REMEMBERING GOD ONLY WHEN WE ARE IN NEED?)

My advice is,God must be praised in happiness and in troubles,and remember to return tithes and offerings from your harvests.

Thank you very much
