Do you have a child that, no matter what, always seems to be complaining or grumbling?
If you have a child who never seems to see the positive in things, is never satisfied, or always seems to be grumbling, there are many ways you can help them transform their heart into a heart that give thanks in all situations. According to 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, it is God’s will that we rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances.
Remember, there are many occurences in the Bible where Jesus was mistreated; but he still trusted and praised the Father. Before he was about to die, he wasn’t grumbling or complaining. Instead, he said, “Father, let your will be done!”
Children must understand that when they complain, they are complaining about the sovereignty of God. Throughout this episode, Lee Ann discusses the many ways you can start to transform a grumbling heart into a heart that gives thanks in every situation, just like Jesus.
