ARE YOU REALLY PRAYING OR JUST COMPLAINING?

This is the Voice of the Prophet

ARE YOU REALLY PRAYING OR JUST COMPLAINING?
Like many Christians, they won’t say it out loud or to others, but in their hearts they know without a doubt that they feel God is being unfair in not judging others as soon as they think He should. Much like children will react and respond to their earthly parents in regards to their younger siblings when they say, “you would never have let me get away with doing that when I was in school.” Or as parents we will say to our older parents concerning their grandchildren as they indulge them in certain things. You know, like jumping in the bed or standing on the sofa. How many of us have said to them; “There is no way you would have let me even think about doing that!” In the Message Bible the third verse of that 12th chapter Jeremiah says; Meanwhile, you know me inside and out. You don’t let me get by with a thing! I personally have said to God, Lord if I even thought about doing that You’d be dealing with me! Here we see where Jeremiah is what some might refer to as petitioning the Lord. However, the question is, is he petitioning, praying to God or is he actually being impatient and complaining to God? Like many of us, without realizing it Jeremiah's prayers had become complaints.
