Soul Care: Healing From Deep DisappointmentSample

Day 5: Rebuilding Faith and Moving Forward

The past can have a powerful influence on our present and future, often hindering our ability to move forward. This happens when unresolved issues, lingering emotions, or negative patterns from previous experiences continue to affect our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. No matter how heavy your heart feels, know that God has a plan for your healing and restoration.

Scripture to Meditate On:
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
— Isaiah 43:18-19

Reflection:
Healing from disappointment doesn’t mean we ignore what happened but that we choose not to dwell on it. God is always at work doing something new, even in the midst of our pain.

Practical Application:

1. Spend time in worship, thanking God for the new things He is doing in your life.
2. Write down one step you can take today to move forward in faith, whether it’s reaching out to someone, starting a new habit, or simply letting go of a negative thought.
