December 14 – Peace in Disappointment with God
Some of the deepest hits to your peace come from disappointment with God. You thought it would be different by now—the job, the marriage, the situation. You prayed, believed, showed up, and it still broke or stalled. Now you smile on Sunday but carry quiet suspicion inside: “Lord, can I really trust You?”
Brother, God can handle that question. The psalmists brought Him raw disappointment, not polished theology. Peace doesn’t come from pretending you’re not hurt. It comes from bringing your hurt to the only One who truly understands it.
Jesus Himself cried, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” He knows the feeling of unanswered agony. Yet He entrusted His spirit to the Father anyway. That’s the doorway to peace in disappointment—honest lament and stubborn trust side by side.
Today, instead of stuffing it down, tell Him where you feel let down. Out loud. Then say by faith, “Yet I trust You,” even if your voice shakes.
Let’s pray together,
Father, You know the places where I feel disappointed. I bring You every “why” and “how long.” Meet me in the ache. Heal my heart where hope has gone numb. Teach me to trust Your character when I don’t understand Your timing. Hold me in Your peace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God…” (Psalm 42:11a, NIV)
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7, NIV)
