Faith After Disappointment

Disappointment has a way of knocking the wind out of your soul. It can make you question what you thought you knew, or wonder if God is truly listening. When something you prayed for slips through your fingers, it's easy to feel like hope slipped with it. But even here—especially here—God holds space for your ache.

Faith after disappointment isn't loud or polished. It often looks like a quiet breath, a whispered "God, I'm still here." It's choosing to believe that God is doing something bigger than what you can see, even when every part of you feels tired of believing. Scripture reminds us, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18 ). That means He hasn't stepped away from you; He's stepped closer.

Your story isn't over because something didn't go the way you hoped. Sometimes God protects you from what you wanted, because He's guiding you toward what you truly need. Faith after disappointment is trusting that He can redeem even this moment—this loss, this letdown, this unanswered question.

Let your heart rest in this truth: God is still writing, still working, still holding you. And He won't waste a single tear you've cried.
