I still complain and I don't like it.

Plain and simple, complaining is a sin and God hates sin.

Ask yourself:

How quick do I become impatient and begin to complain when stuck in traffic or while waiting in checkout lanes?

How quick do I spot and point out faults that my friends or family have?

Do I complain about my job when I should be Thanking God that I have one?

The best antidote for complaining is Thanksgiving.

Thankful people do not complain.

The Bible says that we are to:

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name."

Psalms 100:4 NLT

We need to make it a daily goal to live a life of Thanksgiving.

Let's be as positive and grateful as possible. Try going to bed at night pondering everything we have to be thankful for. Let it be the first thing we do in the morning.

Thank God for things we might normally take for granted: a parking place, waking up in time for work, a meal, your family...

Keep at it until we develop the habit of living with an attitude of gratitude.

Lord God,

I want to live with an attitude of gratitude, starting right now! Thank You for Loving me and for Blessing me. Help me see the positive things in life and to Thank You for them.

Amen
