When Complaining Turns Into Clarity

For a long time, I used to complain whenever things didn’t go my way. If you had known me several months ago, you’d probably agree that I was the kind of person who questioned everything. I was always asking God “Why?”, “Why did You do this?” or “Why did You allow that?”

But one day, during my prayer time, something shifted. The Holy Spirit spoke to me so clearly and said, “Migardly, you complain too much.”

I was shocked. It was one of the first times I had ever heard His voice that clearly. That moment marked the beginning of a transformation in the way I saw life and in the way I saw God.

Learning to See Differently

One of the things I complained about the most was my living situation. I used to tell God, “I was comfortable where I was. Why did You ask me to leave? Now my peace feels disturbed.”

I was constantly frustrated and grumpy, struggling to understand what He was doing. But with time, I began to see something beautiful hidden in that discomfort.

As someone who deeply values Love and believes that, if it’s God’s will, I will get married one day, and as someone who never knew her father and grew up with a distorted idea of what marriage really looks like, I realized that God had placed me exactly where I needed to be.

Right now, I’m living with a married couple, and the amount of things I’m learning is beyond words. I used to tell my friends that marriage looked scary and complicated. But now, I see that God wanted to change my perspective. He wanted to show me what marriage can be: not perfect, but rooted in Love, Grace, and Patience.

A Season of Preparation

I know without a doubt that God placed me here for a reason. He knows my heart, and today, that heart is open, ready to receive what He has prepared for me.

This season of my life hasn’t been easy. It’s been painful and lonely at times. There are days when I wish I had someone to talk to, someone to share my thoughts with, someone I could call at the end of the day and tell how my day went.

But through it all, God keeps reminding me to be still. To trust that, in this season, I only need Him.

Fix Your Eyes

When life feels heavy, I hold on to two things:the words a dear friend once told me: “Fix your eyes on Jesus, not on the storm” and the truth found in the Word of God:

«Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.»

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Those words stay with me. They remind me that peace doesn’t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting the One who does.

Because storms will come, but Jesus remains constant.And when my eyes are fixed on Him, even the strongest waves can’t pull me under.

Pray with Me 

Lord,

Thank You for loving me even when I don’t understand Your ways.

Teach me to trust You more deeply and to see beauty in every season You place me in.

Help me to stop complaining and start resting in Your plan.

Give me peace when I feel lost, and remind me that obedience always leads to blessing.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
