7 Habits of Highly Miserable People
1. Our Complaining drives people away
“What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient? Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?”
“A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.”
“But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow, but that cease to flow in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.”
“Now you too have proved to be of no help so I have been allotted months of futile, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.”
“My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering. My eyes will never see happiness again.”
“I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. I prefer strangling and death, rather than this body of mine, I despise my life.”
2. Complaining is counter to God’s will.
Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
GODISNOWHERE.
“God is nowhere.”
3. Complaining is a step in the face of God.
