Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes those unexpected moments can lead to disappointment. I’ve certainly experienced my fair share of setbacks and unmet expectations, and in those moments, it can be challenging to see a way forward. However, through living daily with a belief that my faith is grounded in an all powerful God who loves me and the wisdom found in the Bible, I’ve found comfort and hope that has helped me navigate through those difficult times.

One of the most reassuring verses for me has been Isaiah 40:31, which says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” This verse reminds me that even in my lowest moments, God is there to renew my strength and help me rise above my circumstances.

Another verse that has been a source of comfort is Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This verse reminds me that God’s plans for me are good, even when things don’t go according to my plans. This is not always easy to see “in the moment” and how thankful I am that God doesn’t give up on me when my fledgling faith wanes in times of crisis.

In times of disappointment, I’ve learned the importance of seeking God’s presence through prayer and meditation. Philippians 4:6-7 has been a guiding light for me, encouraging me to present my requests to God and find peace that transcends understanding. So often my learning and growing has been slow. Praise God that HE sees me as HIS son, because of the cross and how it makes me clean in HIS sight.

One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned is that God’s strength is made perfect in my weakness, as 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 teaches. When I feel at my lowest, I’ve found that God’s grace is more than sufficient to carry me through when I alone can’t do it anymore.

Each day is a new opportunity to experience God’s love and faithfulness, as Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us. Despite life’s disappointments, I MUST hold onto the promise of Romans 8:28, knowing that God is working all things for my good.

May these reflections encourage you as they challenge, yet also encourage me, reminding you that even in disappointment, there is hope to be found in God’s unfailing love and promises.
