daily prayer

     Good morning!  How are we faithing?  We get bitter when things don't happen when or how we thing they should.  We get angry at things that go contrary to how we think they ought. Before long nothing is right or satisfies.  Before long we become those people that nobody wants to spend much time with. How do we get to that point? How do we prevent ourselves from becoming those people? Crabbing and complaining is the start. Who or what is served by complaining about everybody and or everything? Why do we only see the down side to things?  Selfishness.  How this thing affects me. The picture is bigger than just the trees and when we fail to see the forest that the trees have made we tend to focus more on our world and not the rest of the world.  Yes things may suck but does complaining help the situation?  Do you really feel better or have you just started digging a hole that leads to that bitter person everyone avoids? Yes there is a time to cry and to grieve but there also is a time to rejoice and sing!



Jas 5:9
Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.

1Co 10:10  

Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. 

Php 2:14-16

  Do all things without murmurings and questionings:  that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,  holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

Heavenly Father,

  Thank you for your blessings and help us remember them in the midst of trials and turmoil. Lord we ask for wisdom to see ALL the truth.  Help us maintain a clean heart and not get so self absorbed we complain over selfish things.  Forgive us our shortcomings and help us see where we need improvement.  Lord, we lift those mentioned to you.  Show your face and heal bodies, minds and spirits. In Jesus name, amen
