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.
