Disappointment, God’s Plan and a Healthy Soul

1. DISAPPOINTMENT in broken dreams
2. Senseless pain & GOD’S PLAN
3. A HEALTHY SOUL in disappointment & loss

1. DISAPPOINTMENT in broken dreams.

Matthew 11:1-6

Just because you’re suffering, doesn’t automatically mean YOU’VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG.

Disappointment happens when OUR PLANS don’t come together the way we hoped they would.

2 reasons our plans don’t always come together:

1. God’s plans are far bigger than we can see
2. The world we live in is far more broken than we know.

2. Senseless pain & GOD’S PLAN

Matthew 14:1-12

It’s important for us to accept that we won’t always understand GOD’S WAYS.

What kinds of disappointments have you faced recently?

In the waiting, in the searching, in the healing & the hurting,
like a blessing buried in the broken pieces, every minute, every moment,
where I’ve been & where I’m going, even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it – there was Jesus.”
“There was Jesus” Zach Williams

3. A HEALTHY SOUL in disappointment & loss
