Disappointment is inevitable, but how we choose to react when our realities don't align with our expectations will determine whether we persevere or succumb to despair. This plan will explore the scriptural response to disappointment to encourage us to trust in God even when we don't understand.

Dealing With Disappointment

Encouragement is something that we all need and desire – whether it be a kind word or a helping hand to push us towards our goals. The Bible includes many examples of believers encouraging one another, as well as God’s promises to us to never leave us, to always fight for us, to strengthen us and so on. Be emboldened as you read along with this plan. You’re amazing!

Encouragement

"When a new King reigns in the city of your mind," as Isaiah 60:17 says, "I will make peace your governor and righteousness your magistrates." In the city of my mind, a new kingdom has been established, ruled by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, my beloved Jesus Christ. He has established a reign of peace there.
