A right response to disappointment begins with resisting the natural tendency toward bitterness. Our second step should be to ask the Lord, “How am I to respond?” God can guide us to a wise and righteous reaction because He has all the facts.
Third, follow His direction, even if it isn’t what you want to do. Oftentimes the Lord’s way contradicts our own desires and the advice of friends. However, His plan is the one that will bring about growth and result in our greatest good.
And finally, keep your focus on God and His higher purpose in your life.
There is only one healthy method for dealing with letdown—pursue the Lord’s way and His will.—Charles Stanley
