  14. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights,with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

  15. 2. Avoid Complaining When I remember God, then I am disturbed; when I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. (Psalms 77:3)

  16. Complaining is the archenemyof thanksgiving! for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)
