Have you ever been disappointed? I know that no sooner do I need to ask that question than I already have the answer. We all face disappointment at some point or another. What defines us is how we deal with it. God is typically the most popular subject whenever we talk about this subject. Many times when we are unhappy with the way things are we blame God. Despite the fact that God does not owe us anything.
Many times when we are disappointed our first thoughts fly towards God. Why did God allow this to happen? Why didn’t God answer my Prayer? What did I do wrong? Many times this can cause us to become angry at God, and we will sometimes think that we can’t trust God. When we do this, we think that we are getting back at God, however we are only hurting ourselves.
People today seem to think that God is some magical genie that they can just make their wishes on, and get what they want immediately. Some people don’t take into account that they are speaking to the God of the Universe. The who placed the heavens in the sky and the one who created life. So what would we do differently when we take this into account? It is very likely that we would tend to rethink our arguments against God.
God answers all prayers. Though sometimes the answer is not the one that we might have wanted. As Christians we must try to understand this and attempt to overcome our constraints of disappointment. This way perhaps we will be more prepared for when God says no.
