Cast all your cares upon the Lord and He will hear you,in Psalm 55:17 it tells us that we can bring our grumblings and complains to the Lord and He will hear us Psalm 55:17As for me, I shall call upon God, And the LORD will save me. 17Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice. 18He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me, For they are many who strive with me.… 2 Cor.4:15-16 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. 3 For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. Psalm 95 :2-3Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. 3 For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. Psalm 7:17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without grumbling and fault finding and complaining… Complaining comes from an ungrateful, prideful attitude of the heart. Complaining is Evidence of Unbelief for not trusting God that He takes care of us and is with us in every situation ! The pastor this morning used the example of the 9 people who all lived in 1 room and 1 boy was extremely unhappy about it and couldn't handle it any longer . He went for help and the counselor told him to bring a goat with him in the room,he did as he was told and noticed right away how bad the smell was around him and as the days passed by he could not stand the smell any longer and went back to the counselor and complained that he couldn't stand the smell of the goat anymore ,the counselor told him to take the goat out his room and to come back in a week,he did again what he was told and got rid of the goat,immediately he started feeling better and in a week he went back to the counselor who asked him how he was doing and he told the counselor that since the goat was gone he felt great! Grumbling leads to crumblingGratitude leads to healthy attitude Col.3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

So do I thank God for all the smoke from forest fires surrounding us (but not nearby)? I guess that I can be thankful that my asthma/bronchitis is slightly better today, the infection is decreasing in spite of the unhealthy air warnings. I can thank Him that my blood sugar that has been way high from the prednisone is starting to come under control. I can thank Him for all the people on Worthy who have been praying for me.

Hi Willa, Amen to your post , God is good and takes care of His children:) I agree so much with you ,we have so much to be thankful for and it's good to be reminded now and then not to complain because that's human nature and because all the things God has done for us we do have a new life in Him and He takes care of us and is in control over everything in us and around us I try not to worry but to trust God for everything for He is my hope and my Salvation ,we don't know about tomorrow but we do know that our heavenly Father cares... Colossians 3:15-17 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Even though we may have problems of all shapes and sizes, just remember HE is there to help us and guide us through our everyday tasks. (1Th 5:18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Peace and Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
