Praying Through Disappointment

What do you do when disappointment makes you want to stop praying? In the first episode of our new series, STRIKE: Praying Through Disappointment, we're talking about what happens when life doesn't go the way we planned and how disappointment can quietly steal our expectation. Looking at the story of King Joash in 2 Kings 13, we'll discover that he didn't stop striking because he ran out of arrows—he stopped because he lost expectation. The same can happen to us. We stop praying, believing, hoping, and asking—not because God has changed, but because disappointment convinces us it's no longer worth continuing. If you've been carrying unanswered prayers, delayed promises, or simply feel spiritually exhausted, this episode is a reminder that your story isn't over. Sometimes the greatest act of faith isn't seeing the breakthrough—it's choosing to pray again. Main Scriptures: 📖 Luke 18:1 📖 2 Kings 13:18–19 ✨ Affirmation I will not allow disappointment to silence my faith. I will keep praying. I will keep believing. I will keep hoping. God has not forgotten me. My circumstances do not determine God's character. I choose to strike again because my God is still faithful. 🎧 Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and join us each week as we learn how to keep praying—even when life doesn't go as planned. 🌿 Learn more about Beauty for Ashes Co. and upcoming events at: www.beautyforashesco.co
