Most of the time you being disappointed by a friend that is in Christ or even a family member that's also in Christ. BE STRONG, BE COURAGES and do what David did. He encouraged himself in the Lord.
When things don't turn out the way you hoped, it may seem like the end of the world. Here are some things you can do to keep disappointment from getting you down.
1. Stop. Calm Down. Give yourself some time. Things might not seem nearly so bad tomorrow.
2. Get your feelings out in a way that doesn't hurt you or anybody else.
3. Talk about it with your parents or a good friend.
4.Ask yourself if this is really worth getting angry or upset about.
5.Think about what you can learn from the experience and how you can do better next time.
6.Don't judge yourself. Failing at something does not mean that you are a failure.
I have done some things in my past that has caused me to feel so sad in the end, but God made all things new. He made me so strong and i just cannot help myself not be angry at people when they hurt or disappoint me. Jesus is living on the inside of me and i don't need people to make me feel better, all i need is Jesus and the people He sends on my path to help me. So whoever hurt me/you, it's ok. Move on, don't ponder on it. Know who you are in Christ.
The way i used to feel after a disappointment was so bad, i just locked myself up in my little corner. AGAIN I SAY, JESUS made all things new by planting a few things in my spirit.
HOW TO COPE
With An Unpleasant Feeling
Sometimes we feel good, and sometimes we feel bad. Both kinds of feelings are normal. Of course, we all enjoy good feelings. But when we don't like the way we are feeling, sometimes we don't know what to do about it. Here is a plan that will help you help yourself when your feelings are bothering you.
1. ACCEPT your feelings. Say to yourself: "I am sad." "I am frightened." "I am angry." "I am embarrassed." It's all right to have feelings. I am counting on Jesus to help me.
2. RELAX and take "time out" before you act. Take slow deep breaths and relax all the muscles of your body. Know that you are in a safe palec.
3. THINK about ways to help yourself. Thinking helps you do something smart instead of harming yourself or making things worse.
4. DO something to help yourself. Maybe it would help to talk to someone, or to do something you enjoy.
Remember what the scripture says:
Hebrews 13:5 (The Message)
5-6Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote,
God is there, ready to help;
I'm fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?
I AM SO GREATFUL THAT THE DISAPPOINTMENT THAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS ANOTHER WAY OF BUILDING MY CHARACTER.
