In life everyone faces disappointment, we get let down by people or by things that we did/didn't want to happen... It can be frustrating and discouraging, especially if it happens more than once! In the book of John (11:40) in the bible it says 'Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?', in day to day life we put our hope into things and its similar to putting all our trust in God. Praying to Him and believing with all our heart that he will answer those prayers. But what about when we are faced with disappointment because our prayers aren't answered the way we expected?
Hebrews 10:35 says 'Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what happens. Remember the great reward it brings you!' After feeling like we've been let down it can be so easy for us to remain doubtful and discouraged in situations, but in these times we have to push ourselves to pour out more faith and more trust, because God does answer prayers it just might be in a way you don't expect. If doubt and disappointment get the better of us we would all be left stuck in one place, instead it should be what drives us, what pushes us to go further and what makes us believe even more. Mark 5:36 says 'Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, only keep on believing'. When met with defeat the Lord says keep believing, because theres always a silver lining if you look up to see it, and theres always another path if you turn the corner to face it...
