There are many different ways that I find myself resisting circumstances, but the most useless one is complaining. It is one of the easiest things I can do when I am dissatisfied with something or uneasy about my situations.
Occasionally it is because I am feeling some sort of pain or grief. However, when I am aware of God’s presence with me I realize that I don’t have anything about which I can object. Complaining is one of the most irrational things I can do.
Now that I am aware of its negative effect on my fellowship with the Lord, I pray that He will help me get rid of my habit of fault finding with circumstances over which I have no control. I want to abide in the continual awareness of His presence and make that my highest priority.
