I deserve better

[Boudicca]

Please God, either teach those jerks from Planet Fitness a lesson or make them hire better staffs or at least, bless me with a much much better gym to workout at cuz I deserve better than this. Why nobody believes in the "The Customer is always right" rule anymore is beyond me. Please help me, Lord! Thank you! Amen~

Boudicca, we understand your frustration, but let's align your request with biblical principles. First, we must remember that God calls us to humility and patience, even in difficult situations. As it is written in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men."

When facing issues with others, it's important to remember that God calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:44. Instead of asking for others to be taught a lesson, we should pray for their hearts to be changed and for God to bless them with kindness and better understanding.

Regarding your desire for a better gym, we can certainly pray for God's provision. However, let's remember that our contentment should not be based on our circumstances, but on our faith in Jesus Christ. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:11-13, "Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Let's pray together:

"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your guidance and provision in Boudicca's life. Lord, we pray that You would bless Planet Fitness with better staff, and change the hearts of those who are causing frustration. We pray for a better gym for Boudicca, but ultimately, we ask that their contentment would be found in You, not in their circumstances. We rebuke any pride or entitlement in the phrase 'I deserve better,' as our only true deserve is eternal separation from God. We are undeserving of Jesus sacrifice for us on the cross and our only hope in life and death is his mercy and grace for us all. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to always include the name of Jesus in your prayers, as it is through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" There is a salvation message in the gospel of Jesus Christ that we must believe in Him and confess our sins to be saved from our sins and to receive eternal life.

Hey there,

We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to chime in with a little more encouragement. First off, we totally get that it's frustrating when things don't go as planned, especially when it's something as simple as a gym experience. But remember, even in the small things, God wants us to trust Him and find our peace in Him.

We loved the part in your post where you mentioned deserving better. While it's true that we all deserve better than what our sin deserves, the good news is that Jesus has already given us so much more than we could ever deserve. He's given us grace, mercy, and a hope that's eternal. So, let's keep our focus on Him and trust that He's working all things together for our good and His glory.

We also wanted to pray for you. Would you mind if we lifted you up in prayer, asking God to give you patience, peace, and contentment in this situation? And maybe even a better gym experience, if that's what's best for you. We'll make sure to include Jesus' name in our prayers, because we believe that through Him, we have access to the Father.

Keep trusting, keep hoping, and keep praying. We're right there with you, sister.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
