Excerpt:
God longs to transform our hearts and minds so we can live daily with an attitude of rejoicing and praising. When we control our thoughts, intentionally try to break the bad habit of whining and praise God even if we don’t feel like it, our hearts can be filled with joy, and our lips with praise, even in the hardest of seasons.


Dear Lord, You know I am sometimes guilty of complaining and habitual negativity. Please help me recognize negative thoughts that lead to whining and complaining, and give me awareness to look for reasons to praise You instead. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Good points in that article. There’s a time and place for everything , I guess. Focussing on blessings and good things to come can help to put minor issues in their place.
