Dealing with Disappointment

Recording from speaking to our young adult group and then Bailey and I hit the studio to discuss deeper! Get with a friend and talk through this discussion too! Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Unloved, unwanted, like there must be something wrong with me? Or that if you could just change that one thing about yourself or your life, that then people would love and respect you? what’s one thing you’ve thought if you could change, you might get what your heart really wants? Leah responded with manipulation, jealousy and competition with Rachel... probably blame too. What is your natural response when hope grows dim about something your heart desperately wants? Not what you should respond with, but naturally... is it - Blame - Withdraw - Unhealthy Competition and performing, perfectionism - Anger\rage - Manipulation or control- working your magic to get the thing you want It leaves Leah exhausted trying to manipulate Jacob for his love. When is a time when you’ve come to the end of the road, and said ok God, I’m ok right here? 1 Timothy 6:6 but godliness with contentment is great gain How do we maintain contentment? What does it look like on a Thursday to trust God with our lives when it isn’t working out how we thought? What’s a current struggle where life feels disappointing, or like you’re not measuring up. What can you be grateful for in the middle of it
