Prevent Disappointment

Prevent Disappointment

by Joyce Meyer - posted November 12, 2014

They trusted in, leaned on, and confidently relied on You, and were not ashamed or confounded or disappointed.


—Psalm 22:5

There is nothing unusual or wrong about initial feelings of disappointment, but it is what we do from that point forward that makes all the difference in the world. Absolutely nobody gets everything they want all the time, so we need to learn how to deal properly with disappointment.

Trusting God completely and believing that His plan is infinitely better for you than your own will prevent you from being disappointed with God. You might feel anger toward your situation, but don't ever be angry with God. When you get angry, you naturally want to lash out at someone, but it is unwise to make God your target. He is the only One Who can help you and truly comfort you; therefore, it is much better to run to Him in your time of pain than away from Him.

Power Thought: I trust God completely and am never disappointed with Him.

Horizon, this is so very true. Disappointments are just little potholes in the road to salvation. Thank you for the comforting words .
