How to deal with disappointment without allowing the pain to turn into bitterness, resentment, or estrangement from God?
In this episode of the "Woman in the Style of Christ" Podcast, Jana Libório shows, in the light of the Bible, that disappointment arises from the distance between what we expected and what actually happened. We can be disappointed by people, relationships, leadership, circumstances, and even our own choices.
Through the stories of David, Peter, Martha, Mary, Lazarus, and Joseph, we learn to recognize pain, examine our expectations, avoid hasty decisions, choose forgiveness, and return our trust to God.
In this episode, you will learn:
Why the greater the trust, the greater the pain can be;
How to bring a disappointment to God's feet;
The difference between conviction and condemnation;
Why God does not fail when the answer does not come as we expected;
How untreated pain can produce a root of bitterness;
How to deal biblically with disappointments within the church; Five practical attitudes to face disappointment.
Verses discussed: Psalm 41:9; Matthew 26:75; John
11:21–25; Proverbs 3:5; Hebrews
12:15; James 1:5; Jeremiah 17:7.
Watch until the end and reflect: what disappointment is still influencing your decisions?
