You raise your children in the Lord, and they behave in ways that break your heart. You marry a man who promises to love, honor, and cherish you ’til death do you part, but some days he acts like he loves his job more than you. You join a church—the church—convinced it’s a match made in heaven, only to discover it’s led by flawed and frail people just like the church you left. Jobs, finances, health, people, and relationships all have the power to disappoint us. 

How should we—believers in Christ—handle the disappointments that hurt our hearts and weary our souls? 

I’m sharing these five ways over at ReviveOurHearts.com today. I’d love to continue the conversation. Click HERE to read the rest of the article.
