To Look to You When Facing Disappointment

Lord God,
Be my rock whenever I face rejection or disappointment. No matter where I experience it, in relationships, at work, or just in life in general, it can be heavy to process. And, I’m often vulnerable during such times to give in to specific temptations as unhealthy and destructive ways to cope. Provide me with a battle-ready faith that can fend off such temptations, while also turning my focus to you. I say and sing that if I have you, I have all that I need, but occasions like these harshly put that claim to the test. Help me navigate through what I’m feeling, and strengthen my heart not just to know that you are enough, but to trust it, and to find healing in that truth.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Handle Disappointment Well

Lord God,
Help me to handle disappointment well. Some letdowns carry more weight than others, depending on the expectations or the time, energy, and resources invested. Whether the impact is minimal or widespread, guide me to manage the disappointment in a healthy way that honors you.

As I manage these struggles and reflect on them when they arise, give me the wisdom to patiently review them so that any needed changes may be able to be made in the future. When this isn’t the case, let me accept the outcome and move forward with the confidence that you are still very much able to bless any new or adjusted plans which may arise out of the ashes of disappointment. Remind me that regardless of any outcome, you are over all things and you promise to work out all things – even disappointment – for the good of your people, including me. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
