Stop Bellyaching to God J M Mason

In this day and age, so many people seek an answer to the problems plaguing their lives. Too many are looking to a man to solve the challenges only to come up empty. Just because a mere man says, "Only I can fix it," doesn't mean we must tie our whole trust in this person. We all fall short of the glory of God. The Bible still has a blueprint to follow to make things better. It begins with prayer. The good book also gives us a guide for approaching the Lord and recognizing false Christs and teachers. Because of my experience from youth to old age, I found it's better to talk to the Lord as a friend and not bellyache so much. Many seem to like being a martyr so they can have multiple pity parties and refusing to take responsibility for their actions by blaming others or simply denying there was a problem. It has been commanded by the Lord in Luke 6:27-36 that we're to love our neighbor as ourselves. Sadly, the hate that seems to be oozing out of every aspect of life shows we hate ourselves.
