How can I overcome disappointment?
Here's the answer:
You can overcome disappointment by focusing on God.
Disappointments will happen throughout our lives. There is no running or hiding from disappointment. This is because disappointments are part of living in a fallen world. God never intended for us to face disappointments. But now, ever since the fall of mankind, we often encounter disappointment.
Maybe you just went through something disappointing. Know that God is still by your side. If you are feeling weak, know that the Bible says we are strongest at our weakest (2 Corinthians 12:9). God will strengthen us and help get us back on our feet.
Disappointments are only temporary. You might be feeling down now, but it won't last forever. It is also important to remember that no disappointment can ever separate you from God. We will continue to be disappointed in this life, but one day, we will never be disappointed again. The day will come when we will be with God forever.
Bible Truth
"I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But be encouraged! I have won the battle over the world" (John 16:33).
"But he said to me, 'My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.' So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
"My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, think of it as pure joy. Your faith will be tested. You know that when this happens it will produce in you the strength to continue. And you must allow this strength to finish its work. Then you will be all you should be. You will have everything you need" (James 1:2-4).
