Dealing With Disappointment - Week 1

In our journey of faith, we often encounter disappointments that can shake our resolve. This message reminds us that even the greatest biblical figures, like Moses, faced moments of deep discouragement. The inclusion of Psalms 39 and 88 in scripture - songs that don't end with hope - shows us that God acknowledges our pain and meets us in our darkest moments. This raw honesty in the Bible proves it's not trying to 'sell' us anything, but rather to connect with our real human experiences. We're encouraged to respond to disappointment with prayer and faith, fixing our thoughts on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy. By doing so, we open ourselves to experiencing God's peace that surpasses understanding, even amidst life's storms.
