Stop Complaining
Tuesday | June 2, 2026
It’s difficult to be around someone who is always complaining, never satisfied with life. In fact, most people try to avoid them altogether because it is emotionally draining to hear someone constantly whining. Nothing is ever “good enough,” and they find fault with everything. They complain about their spouses, their jobs, their finances, and just about everything else. Whiners and cry-babies are just not happy people, and as long as they insist on seeing the glass half empty instead of half full, they will never be happy. They can get into such a complaining rut that they no longer even recognize how negative they are. What a difference their lives would be if they learned to praise God for all the good things in their life! The apostle Paul set a good example when he described himself in Philippians 4:11 as having learned to be content no matter what his situation might be. God made it very clear about how He feels about complaining in Numbers 11:1: “You have said that when the people complained, it displeased You.” And in Philippians 2:14 and 15, the Bible says, “Do all things without complaining and disputing.” Ask God to give you the victory over whining and to help you speak kindly and politely, being sensitive to the feelings of others. Become a positive person and allow God’s sweet, gentle spirit to flow from your heart. May the words of your mouth cease to complain, bringing God continual praise.
