The Danger of Complaining
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2021
- St. Paul tells us, “Do everything without grumbling,” but even the best-intentioned Christians can fall into a toxic habit of constant complaining. It’s true that sometimes, sharing a complaint can help rectify an unjust situation or call attention to something that needs to change. But when you start fixating on the negative things around you and voicing your critiques or grievances about everything in your life, you imprison yourself in your own personal hell.
Today, Fr. Mike encourages us to ask for God’s grace to break free from the habit of complaining.

I too complain too much but this is just a symptom of a bigger problem - being too focused on self. If we stop looking so much at ourselves and our situation and start focusing more on God and on others then we find ourselves complaining less.
Great point!
so true!
Not always so....take for example people, I include myself, who point out the sins of others instead of themselves...God’s commandments are to be followed and sometimes one needs to focus more on themselves than others...
@@210SAi You are correct.We should focus on God first and then on helping others not on judging them. You are also correct in that we must spend some time examining ourselves and our motives without sliding into a pity pit. The best way to do that is to (as Paul said) in all things be thankful.
@@yb5515 don’t forget, St Paul also was quick to point out the sins of his audience in a charitable manner as a spiritual work of mercy: educating the ignorant and admonishing the sinner(s)
Jesus died on that cross for my sin and yours, yet not once did He complain, not once did He make a bitter remark.
He was a son of God and he was called to do just that.
@@svetlanabarrow6026 Yes. But when he was on the cross he had the human form just like you and i... but yes he was the son of god also. But the statement "god why have you forsaken me?" tells alot that he had the human form and was suffering greatly, even on a spiritual level...
@@icephoenix1024 I never denied that Jesus suffered greatly and he did it for our sins. And there is nothing wrong to complain if there is a good reason for it.
@@svetlanabarrow6026 yes! But he could have stopped it & said enough! But He didn't He suffered for each one of us until the end! You & me wer on His mind!
I need to pray more...
For me I'm in construction so,...
We are always whinning and complaining.
I should be so very grateful for everything my lord has given me and my family.
Looking at all of the destruction around the world and I'm better off than than most by far..
I don't Thank him enough.
I'm going too work on not whining and looking on the Beautiful things Jesus did for me and everyone..
I just need to Shut up and humble myself and look around and help more of the unfortunate ones like the poor and the homeless peoples on the streets.
Lord Jesus son of God have mercy on me a miserable sinner.
I started complaining about a specific political party to the point where it took over my life. I constantly posted about how horrible these people were. My dislike for these people consumed my every thought. These people became the enemy. I was turning into a person I disliked. I finally got off social media and stopped watching the news.
God Bless America, the Catholic Church, and Fr. Mike. -
Thankyou for sharing. When we pray for our enemies, we acknowledge that their actions are harmful, but our own chosen reaction is to want them to become open to the Love and Truth of God. Our hearts stay pure and healthy, and some of them may consent to be converted. Win, Win!
@@granmabern5283 beautiful
Brother, I their with you !
Amen. Become a complainer that's it's begun to eat me inside & I hate it.
I started doing the exact same thing it was all I could think about or watch or talk or read about i started feeling anxious all the time angry but once I pulled myself back an stopped the reading and watching and engaging I felt better
I fornicated too much, now I am a fornicator. I lied too much, now I'm a liar, complaining is the same. May the Lord forgive me.
The Lord is kind and merciful! Do not despair of his great love and mercy!
Same
Try PRAYING daily!
I stopped drinking with daily prayer! ROSARY, DIVINE MERCY etc! Make a set time daily to pray no interruptions
So try it !
Gosh Fr. , you're making me 😢. I see myself
Amen ❤
Complaining is something I've been striving to eliminate from my life; Ingratitude is not something to cultivate. Thanks for this video, it'll hopefully help me reach someone close to me.
I find that when I grumble and complain I also nit-pick at other people's small "failings" or lack of perfection in tasks. I am 60 and learning gratitude every day.
People, please. He's not saying people can't complain or that their reasons for complaining aren't valid. Coming from someone who is a habitual complainer, I can tell you the entire point of this is video is to help people discern when maybe they're complaining too much. That sometimes people get so used to complaining they can't stop or they don't even realize they're doing it. That maybe every time you go to complain it's better to stop and ask yourself whether or not what you're about to say even needs to be said. He's not telling people not to complain or vent or be unhappy with different situations going on in their personal lives or out in the world. As he stated in the video, complaining can be good. It's at what point is a person complaining so much that they're never going to find peace or are unable to see what blessings they do have.
I wish I could put a zipper on my mouth 🤐
Exactly, MK. Sadly, I don't think some people are aware how toxic they are. Just glancing through comments on videos, tells me there is so much anger in many hearts - spewing it out is like a much needed release - and I presume they feel better because of it, not realizing how they have affected others. I think one of the apostles said something along the lines of how we can control strong animals - but can't control a small tongue.
Bravo MK !!!! 👍 👏👏👏
Although I would like to complain about how long it took me to read all your comment. 🤣
blujeans 94 I don’t think they DO « feel better » about complaining when it becomes habitual...Maybe they feel a bit more powerful, as if the anger was a better choice than fear or discouragement.
@@granmabern5283 Sad. I thought at least they felt better after venting. :-(.
sometimes i hesitate to click on these Videos because i exactly know that i have all of the bad habits father mike is talking about. still it is important that we face it and father mike explains it very well.
That’s why you need Jesus
WE.......
Very true. It's like having mould in your basement. If you ignore it, it doesn't stop being there. Just like our bad habits or vices.
Very true.
The Israelites kept on complaining against Moses and God, and look where that took them.
Yeah. God was not a fan of their complaints....
To Israel ?
@@onemore5952 after 40 years 😉
@@eszhun2296
If I remember correctly, I don't think they made it (not even Moses);
the 40 yrs seemed to be used to weed out the unfaithful generation
for their descendants only to inherit the Promised Lands
I know that I whine and grumble a lot. I have begun to pray for help with this. I feel that I need to overcome this before I do lose my soul.
I needed to hear this because I complain a lot about other people. I'm not a people person and others irritate me easily. I'm trying to strive for patience, kindness, love, and forgiveness for my fellowman. Please pray for me guys that I can be better! ✝️
@thecatholiccorner : I am praying for you 😊 Pray for me as well if you would.
Holy Spirit, please give your people an attitude of gratitude!!!
Thank you Jesus for giving us a Holy Pontiff who is uncreasingly destroying the One Holy Catholic Church and by every Encyclical he has written has put into place the superior doctrines of Freemasonry! Thank you for giving us spineless Bishops and Priests who are eager to cancel all Orthodox Catholics and strip all faithful priests of their Holy Priesthood while at the same time continue to make sodomy a virtue that merits promotion in the hierarchy of the Church. Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you that this priest exhorts us to not complain about anything, but instead be obedient to Satan and fulfill his all powerful will!!! Let's not complain! Let's do nothing at all!!!
Father Mike is surely one of the sweetest people on the whole internet.
I believe I complain too much. I dont realise I'm doing it till its done! Sort of makes sense as it's like holding a grudge or the past which isn't any good for us. So definitely makes sense!

This is where my head injury is a blessing. ..
Even y wife says at 36 years old I have a child like mind and attitude and that's cause if my head injury I cannot remember or his too many grudges
It's like the wisdom once said....
For anger observe the day lily...
In the day the Lilly opens to the sun and like the sun and flower you warmed to your anger.
It is night now, time for peace and to relax.
You have no idea how important this was for me to just watch and hear. I just found out my ex-wife from 2 years ago I’ve never gotten over, is pregnant. The wave of emotions is unthinkable and I spiraled. Barely hanging on and praying, I watched this and see exactly that these unsettled emotions have held onto me and held me back this whole time. I’m hurt but I dwell on it unintentionally. I’m not who I was created to be in totality. I pray for that and pray to face this inevitable sorrow without complaint but acceptance and hope in what He wants, and abandon what I want. Thanks Father, keep spreading his word. And more good books to read (The Great Divorce is immediately on the top of my list).
Lord, heal my heart to stop complaining. Help me cultivate a heart & mind of gratitude and humility.
That makes me think of Jonah and the Whale, he didn’t want to go to Nineveh so he runs away. Getting caught in a storm, Jonah tells the crew to throw him overboard only to get swallowed by a whale. He’s being given this opportunity and wasting it. Until he was so small inside the belly of a beast, he cannot see the grace that God gave him. Even how he later was sad over the little tree that withered under the big tree, the default is to complain until you see the hand of God at work.
Jonah is a beautiful story of God's Mercy ✝️💗 Jonah did pray to God in the whale & listen to God & helped convert the people of Nineveh 🙏 God chose Jonah because he was a righteous man. We are all Jonah sometimes when we don't follow God's Will
I need to hear this. I am still very upset about awful family related things that happened after my dad passed away, that were so unnecessary and disrespectful to his memory. This reminds me to just leave all to God. Thanks Father Mike.
❤
I needed to hear this. So insightful and pointing to our need to more closely follow the Gospel.
Yes he's a good looking guy.
Please pray for me. I know I have the demons of lust, gluttony, and wrath in me.
I think there's another more sinister layer to complaining that most people don't see and that's complaining in your heart. You may resolve to not complain outwardly with words but all the while quietly complaining in your heart. It's not what goes in that defiles us but what comes from our hearts. I think to overcome complaining we have to not only look at what we say but also what we say in our hearts.
I’m not sure if this is the same thing Father, but I have excessive anxiety over my life. I try to be honest about my anxiety but I don’t want my anxiety to be other’s anxiety. I trust in God, I pray the rosary often, and meditate with the Holy Spirit, my anxiety takes over too intensely every day regardless of what I do 😅
My anxiety focuses on the negatives, & I logically know that I have SO MUCH to love and be grateful for.
If anyone has a prayer to overcome anxiety I am all ears 😂👏
I used to live in constant fear too. I didn’t know that it was possible to live any other way. Then one day, I noticed that had changed, and at the same time, I recognized that it was because I had been going to Adoration for an hour every week. In Adoration, I had been pouring out all of my fears to the Lord, and I began to hear Him speaking to me. Slowly and inperceptively, that hour every week began to heal me. I began to trust the Lord. I no longer suffer from chronic fear. There is more to it that just going, and talking to God though. I had to act on what God was saying to me too. Did I do that perfectly? No. But when He would say the same thing time after time, it began to sink in. Another point is that It takes some discernment to know when it is the Lord “speaking”, but that too became apparent over time because His “voice” would bring peace and His message would be consistent with what I already knew was good and true. Don’t worry! God will make Himself clear to you. “Trust in Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding; in In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 God bless you!
You hit me with this video Father Mike. It was mainly internal complaining that was eating me from the inside. I will need some prayers. Thank you and God bless.
True.....but more often than not complaints go unnoticed or unanswered like the 17 year old student who just died in FLA at a boarding school tht refused to hear her complaint of illness.
So even though we don't want to be habitual complainer or ungrateful we should not cover our ears to legitimate complaints or act as if complaints are not important and dismiss the complainer as someone who is not worthy.
👍👍👍
That is so sad
The Lamentation Psalms are some of my current favorites:
Mostly David’s ‘greatest hits’ of complaints -
Psalm 130
‘Out of the depths I cry to you Lord, Lord hear my cry.’
I pray every day and ask GOD to help me be the person he needs me to be each and every day, stay blessed ❤️✝️❤️🕊💕❤️💕
An expression of one's misery by tragedy is truly a complaint. Asking God for help on this complaint to be free works well.
Can you share your experience with this?
Blessed are you Lord our God, who brings forth the rain from the sky. I said this prayer sitting in 3 feet of water, my vehicle stuck on a giant coral rock, getting ready to walk 10 miles home. It helps me to focus away from the negative aspect of my experiences.
I feel bad everytime I complain or immediately after I complain I feel ungrateful! Its hard to stop it, I keep reliving my past this way.
I was just complaining to my friend on call, cut the call and opened TH-cam this video shows up first. Thank you Fr.Mike through you the Holy Spirit revealed God's deepest truth that I've been wanting to know.
Don't let the false self overtake the true self? Let Go and Let God, (Jack Cassidy's Christian song).
Wow,thank you Father Mike, what a wonderful reminder to be Grateful, GOD is GOOD 👍 🙏 always, GOD BLESS, love and Prayers 📿💝📿🙏
I really don't complain until i get push to the limit God bless fr mike..
I am complaining right now at my job. I had to file a grievance to fight an unjust evaluation. This is the first step to start the firing process. I know that I do my job and do not let anyone say orherwise. God gave me a sign and I know that I am doing the right thing. My medical issues are also a factor and my employer has violated my rights. I have to complain so rights do not continue to be violated.
I needed this video. I complain too much to the point where its all I do when I conversate
Sometimes it makes me both sad and happy at the same time when the priest talks straight to me
Definitely
I needed this. I am so angry right now. I just got my covid shot and I resent being Forced into it. I am sitting here waiting at pharmacy for side effects and I fumbled onto this video. I feel like God himself is helping me. Praise God for his mercy. I hope to be forgiving if this shot hurts me. I hope to carry my cross without grumbling or tossing it down to wallow in self pity.
Prayers for you. I pray you have no ill effects from the shot and know that it is okay to be upset. God bless.
May God protect you!
God bless you, and I hope you have been protected from side effects. I see the tragedy of how human powers handled Covid, but I realize that happened in ways it couldn’t have had we not been a faithless society governed by fear, blame, and anger. It made me more prayerful, brought me to cherish my opportunity to go to church and see my family, and made me see the consequences of not living as if God is a fact, especially for those of us who don’t even doubt it. I witnessed how vulnerable our refusal to speak the truth in love makes us all. I see how that negatively impacted others, so I better understand what sin means to outcomes for whole societies and nations of people. Im more accepting of the fact that I may have to suffer worldly punishments and persecutions for speaking and acting on truth, but Im more willing to endure these things because I see how devastating it is for even those who persecute us when we don’t. I hope you have experienced similar blessings since you wrote about getting vaxxed. No one should be happy about the disgraceful way that was handled. But I hope we all see how the sins of our society were visited upon the whole suffering world because people acted with good intent but no wisdom or enlightenment.
Thank you Father Mike for helping to open my eyes about the negative & complaining.
I agree with Father Mike, but having said that if life keeps kicking you, for instance you have bad health, and are stuck in a horrible job where you barely make ends meet, can't even pay your bills sometimes and have no family, or friends to turn to. It is certainly a lot easier to complain than if you have a big family who loves you very much and would do anything for you, lots of money, have your home paid off, and lots of friends you can rely on. It is a lot easier to complain when your the former. I think God would understand that as well.
I'm sorry if the former is your situation. Keep in mind everyone faces difficulties at some point in their lives, some much worse than others, and the easier thing to do isn't the same as the right thing to do. Many people who are poor have better attitudes and grateful hearts than those who are rich. Money doesn't buy happiness. Times when it would be easy to complain would be better spent in prayer, offering it up to God, so that our suffering is joined to Christ's redemptive work, which then makes is useful, unlike just complaining.
We may not be able to choose our circumstances, but we can choose how we respond to them, and difficult times are opportunities to grow in humility and grow closer to God, recognizing our dependence on Him. We're called to be detached from the things of the world, to be in the world and not of the world, placing God first above all else. One could be very lonely without family or friends (St. Therese de Lisieux lamented not having friends, but then recognized it as a blessing since it allowed her to develop a more intimate friendship with the Lord); what some people see as curses, others see as blessings, or at least not good enough reason to deny praising the Lord. If someone is in the situation you described, I would suggest reading the story of Job in the Bible.
May God give you peace, joy, and comfort in His unconditional and abundant Love. God bless!
Hey there, I am sorry you find yourself in such situations at the moment. For what is worth, I hope things somehow improve for you soon.
He didn't say you can't complain at all. If life is hard, sometimes it helps to vent. I think this video was meant for people who complain unnecessarily about every little thing. I hope life gets better for you!
Thank you father Mike. I am working on it. I was starting to not enjoy my only son who is 3 years old because all I did was complaining.
Yes, he drives me nuts, but he makes me happy too and he is a gift.
Now I do focus on guiding him and correcting him and move on.
Thank you for this reminder
Orthodox Christian Viewer here. Love the video!!!
It comes down to ingratitude, which can destroy relationships. . . Yes, I see that grumbling negativity can truly rot a soul.
Thank you Jesus for giving us a Holy Pontiff who is uncreasingly destroying the One Holy Catholic Church and by every Encyclical he has written has put into place the superior doctrines of Freemasonry! Thank you for giving us spineless Bishops and Priests who are eager to cancel all Orthodox Catholics and strip all faithful priests of their Holy Priesthood while at the same time continue to make sodomy a virtue that merits promotion in the hierarchy of the Church. Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you that this priest exhorts us to not complain about anything, but instead be obedient to Satan and fulfill his all powerful will!!! Let's not complain!

This was very helpful and I definitely see myself in this state. I do not like myself when like this and become depressed. I never clearly linked the complaining to the depression until now. I will prayer for the grace to be more optimistic and grateful in my thoughts and actions. Thank you Fr. Mike.
I needed this video. Right after I finished watching it my mom came over to ask for my help in trimming some bushes outside. Had I not just watched this I definitely would have complained about it. Amazing how God always sends me the message I need at the right time.
YES! Living in the truth means seeing all its aspects: the good, the bad and the ugly. Unchecked positivity is a lie; unchecked negativity is a lie.
Thanks Fr Mike for the clarity!
Oooof this is me- I have to pray for change from this bad habit of complaining 🙃
My mom once said quit complainin! And start motivatin!
Thank you, Father Mike! St. Gregory of Nyssa agrees: "May we never risk the life of our souls by being resentful or bearing grudges." Continued prayers for you and all of our clergy. God bless!
I agree. The Serenity Prayer is very appropriate here. Some people will not only complain all the time, they'll even criticize things that are dear to you. Such a "grumble!"
People that complain too much are difficult to be around and their energy takes a lot out of you. I've been around many whom fuss about even little things.
I remember I used to also be a BIG complainer. Thanks to God, the Holy Spirit convicted me!
I confess @ times i gripe or complain & praying i need 2 change...🙏
We need to stay focused on the LORD & push Satan out of our lives, always!!!
✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
One of the reasons I had to stop watching certain Catholic TH-cam Channels. They simply bred criticism and complaining in me towards the Church rather than love for my Saviour's bride.
Sending love to everyone who likewise seeks two continue to re-examine our thoughts and actions. And may we hold no shame to the imperfections. Lord forgive us. Grateful for God's love and for courage in times of self-assessment and accountability.
Hey guys pray for me please 🙏🏼❤️✝️
One thing I complain a lot about is the drivers where I live. Everyday, several times a day. I have been trying so hard to stop it. I’m getting better.
I use bad language when people pull bad maneuvers on the road.
Thank you for sharing this insight Fr. Mike. Never realised the impact of grumbling so will now take a conscious effort to refrain from it.
I've been struggling with this since childhood. I've lost the man of my dreams because of it. Complaining and negativity is so much a part of my identity that I feel like if it went away, there'd be nothing left.
Start adding good stuff to your garden...read the lives of Saints and learn their reactions to difficulties...pray for your ex.... someone I love is losing her husband now because of this...
Had to laugh when I watched the video...had been avoiding it because I knew it would touch on me.
My story: because of covid lockdown on churches, I do my confession in front of Jesus of the Divine Mercy. At one of my confessions I was complaining about something. For my penance I heard Jesus say, "Go and read The Imitation of Christ, chapter 19". I did and the first two sentences say, " What are you saying, My child? Think of My suffering and that of saints, and cease complaining ". I now think twice before complaining.
Thank you, Fr. Mike, for clarification on my grumblings and complaints. I need to really check on what is holding my heart. I am so grateful to you for the direction on how to surrender this to God’s Grace. 🙏❤️
It is so very hard not to complain with chronic illness. For real.. It is hard.
I’m reading texts from Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus to learn Joy in suffering. She is a wonderful teacher! Also reading the life of Saint Alphonsus Ligouri...who had similar health problems to mine. I also ask Saint Margaret Clitherow for help when the pain is bad.
Sometimes I have to cry for a while. Alone with God. Then back to business!
April, dealing with a chronic illness is awful, Complain as much as you wish !!! 🧸
Having an illness with no recognised diagnosis or cure causes you to get cut off from people in work , with few friends or family to support you as you get older .
Edward Desenne Yes. Then you have the added mental suffering! Any invisible illness opens the door to misunderstanding and disapproval from other people. Many people fear and resent what they don’t understand. Maybe to protect themselves?
This might sound abstract but I really try to find Saints who suffered similar things, and sometimes Divine Providence will present me with a book or a video about just the Saint I needed to make friends with, then I pray (and complain sometimes) to them about it. I ask them for advice and for help.
Dear April, I think the goal is to not let complaining become too frequent, and to avoid bitterness, by learning to sanctify our crosses. If we focus on the sufferings only in a negative way, we are making ourselves suffer more than necessary. Distractions bring some relief.
We absolutely have to inform our family and caregivers of our condition, but not people who can’t help us.
I immediately sent this to my wife.... She complains all the time! 😆
Well you just might be sleeping on the couch tonight LOL
I’m trying to get up the nerve to send it to my sister....yikes!
Awwww…. who said that romance is dead 😀
Thank you Fr Mike. This is definitely timely. God does speak to us if we are only willing to listen 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Indeed!!! Thank you Jesus for giving us a Holy Pontiff who is uncreasingly destroying the One Holy Catholic Church and by every Encyclical he has written has put into place the superior doctrines of Freemasonry! Thank you for giving us spineless Bishops and Priests who are eager to cancel all Orthodox Catholics and strip all faithful priests of their Holy Priesthood while at the same time continue to make sodomy a virtue that merits promotion in the hierarchy of the Church. Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you that this priest exhorts us to not complain about anything, but instead be obedient to Satan and fulfill his all powerful will!!! Let's not complain!

If losing your soul can be accomplished by complain, then it looks like I will have a front row seat.
Thank you, Fr Mike.
Great stuff Fr Mike! I was literally the complainer yesterday. I owe my wife, and the Lord, an apology.
Love this!!!
Thank you Father I truly needed to hear this.
Thank you Father, for messages
Thank you Father Mike.
Wow. This is so apt.
Thank You Father Mike. God Bless You!
Thank you Fr. Mike!!!

Father, I'm so grateful to have come back to this channel. From an imperfect man, with hope for God's love making us whole, I send this out to you all. I'm grateful for you too. With love.
I'm a complainer. and this is something i need to work on
God needed me to hear this 🙏🏽
Thanks Lord ❤️ I needed to hear this.
This is well said Father Mike.
Thank you for the encouraging word. This resonates with my struggles at work from a few months ago. I have turned it around but I was definitely stuck in that headspace for a while.
Excellent!!!
God Bless you Father Mike! God Bless Ascension Staff! Never stop sharing these! You don’t know how incredible these are for the people who follow the Gospel! Your videos and podcasts are my fav!🙏🏻🙌🏻
This is a powerful Truth!
I love all,your videos, this one is on point for me today!
Man this is something I definitely need to listen to. It’s a subject that makes so much sense for an Ascension video, yet I never would have thought of it! Thank you Father Mike. Everyone share this
Complaining is ingratitude. Find gratitude to God in ALL things. It is there to be found- in all things. Start seeking it and start speaking it. My first born son was born and lived for only a day on this earth. I am grateful to God. Why would I be grateful for this? Because my son is with the lord he is with him very closely - he is loved more than I could ever love him. He is safe, secure and pure in the love of God. Thank you God Thank you
Thankyou Fr. Mike
thank you father
I use to complain alot I just had a hard time being grateful. Praying rosary every day helps. Since I praying the rosary 2-4 times daily I am happier my life fills fuller. I still feel the presence of "why me" " why couldnt I find a husband" but God choose me to be a Christian and then I feel more calmer.
Was struggling with this one. Thank you so much❤
This is helpful. Thank you Fr. Mike👍🏼
there aren't words. my most humblest of thanks
Thank you Father Mike for these words.🙏🙏🙏
I needed this
Another Wednesday, another Fr. Mike video!
This video was one time where I didn't want to hear it , but it was exactly what I needed to hear , so thank you Father Mike
Thank you so much Father ❤️ this hit my heart hard and thank you for always helping us in the prayers to say to God . Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Ok I needed to hear this...hard to swallow yes...thanks to God for speaking this through you.
A wonderful lesson. Simple but difficult to master. Thank you for this reminder!
Thank you Fr Mike for explaining this so well. Please do keep on posting more videos. They are of great help!
