3 People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.

Isaiah 40:27-28
27 O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?
28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
Psalm 90:14-17
14 Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
15 Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.
16 Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.
17 And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
1 Chronicles 16:31-34
31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!
33 Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
Romans 8:11-13
11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.
13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.
