Pray instead of complaining

Complaining is part of everyone's day to day life. How many times do u complain in a daily basis??? small complain such as "i dont like the food" counts because they are still a complain...
why do u complain and what do u complain about??

Complaining doesn't do any good to anyone...it means that we are not thankful with what has been given to us (as christians, i believe it means that we are not thankful with God's gift).
How lovely would it be if someone say 'thank you' to u after the long hours and hard work u put in finding them a special present instead of complaining about it because they dont like the present we gave??

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose"

God plan everything for us and he done that because it is for our good.What is bad in our eyes doesnt necessarily mean they are bad in God's eyes too. Remember human's standard are very different with God's standard.
Sometimes things doesnt go the way i wanted it to be, but knowing that God has a plan for us and it would be the best plan, it gives me a new hope that all the things that are happening to me are according to God's plan and it is for my good,as romans 8:28 says.

Lets keep reminding one another to value God's gift (whatever it is) with joy and thankfulness, not complaining as what we often do. I would definitely encourage you to pray instead of complaining because pray would show your dependece on God but complaining is just a totally different thing regarding showing our dependence. It doesnt showour dependence but rather showing our displeasing attitude in God's eyes.
