Been listening to a few sermons that a childhood mate recently preached and he preached on the sins of the Prodigal Brother. One of the sins of the prodigal son was complaining.

Now why I am not saying God wants us to be complainers and sooks but can we complain? Does God listen to us when we complain? When we are sick and complaining in bed, does he listen? When we complain about our job, does he care? When we got that bill that we cannot pay and we complain does God hear?

Balance and who we Complain to..

Now I am not perfect or even sure if this is 110% correct but the way I personally see it is that Yes We can Complain to God.

However the key hear is that we complain to God. When we complain, who do we complain too? Do we just sit and sook or do we get on our knees and talk to God about our complaints?

Ok one last point is the word BALANCE. Yes God listens to us but do we just complain and yak on about how bad our lives are OR do we bring balance to complaining. Do we worship God? Give him thanks or do we just complain?

The perfect example to me is Elisha in 1 Kings 19:9-18 where he sooked BIG time to God straight after killing off 450 false prophets as soon as his situation changed slightly.
