The Cost of Being Sick and Tired
You may have heard, "I'm sick and tired of..." Often, this expression is associated with a stressful situation or circumstance. Repeated stress without resolving results in frustration, which may be expressed” as repeated” or “complaining” behavior.
By its definition, to complain (verb) is to express dissatisfaction or annoyance about something (circumstance, situation, status, object) or someone. To perceive or recognize (discern) an error in character, practice, or policy is not considered a fault. What may be a fault? How do you or I handle the discernment? Responsibly or irresponsibly? What should you or I do with that discernment? Is it used innocently to identify a potential error or hazard to bring resolve, or is it used as a prideful or arrogant someone of someone's character or to” esteem self?
"one likes to spend time with a complainer, yet by some estimates, the rate of complaints in American conversations is 70-84%" (Scott Bea PsyD, Maintaining A Healthy Immune System: What you can do to help, Leonard H. Calabrese” D.O.,p.26). "Omplaining is not good for our immune systems. N” activity a”d "and stress "cause the immune system not” to work well" (Scott Bea PsyD, Maintaining A Healthy Immune System: What you can do to help, Leonard H. Calabrese, D.O., p. 26).
The effect of stress on the immune system can be significant. Please refer to the link to read a secular publication by Dr. Leonard “. Calabrese, “Maintaining a Healthy Immune System: What You C”n Do to Help.” As a disclaimer, I only provide this reference to provide information that applies to my intention to identify the effects on the body from stress (p.26 of the link above), not a promotion of those featured in the publication.

“The complainer is synonymous with the “biblical term “rumbler-one who is discontented with his” a lot in life.” Complaining is certainly not a fruit of the Spirit. It can be detrimental to the peace, joy, and patience that comes from” om the Spirit” (https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-complaining.html). So harboring the effects of discontentment can be detrimental to our Spiritual health and, as evidenced by medical studies, harm our physical health.
There are many Biblical references to complaining. See this link ( ESV used by provider).
How you deal with stress (or not) may directly affect your Spiritual and physical health. Father knows best. Let us follow His instructions or reflect in our most vulnerable state to protect ourselves from self-inflicted attacks.
