Dealing With DisappointmentSample

Take Control of Your Perspective

When I experienced disappointment, I would ruminate on the hopelessness of my circumstances from a human point of view. Still, the Bible says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).

This taught me that although human reasoning might try to tell me things will never change, my limited scope of thinking does not dictate what God can and cannot do. Furthermore, regardless of what I think, He is always good and has my best interest at heart. This meant regardless of my dilemma, God would protect and save me.

The scripture goes on to say “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:6).

This also taught me that regardless of my fleeting feelings, I had to make the active choice to trust in God’s Word so He could direct my steps.
