Gosh, in the last half an hour I have been disappointed three times, It is surprising how it can make you feel. I just want to wallow in self-pity. Trying to think of how I can get ride of these horrible feelings that eat away at me. Apart from asking God to take the feelings away. I suppose this is where gratefulness comes into play. I should just be grateful that I have had a fabulous day at the Church Toddler Christmas Party with the Children. I know that writing my thoughts and feelings down here will hopefully make me start feeling better. I should relish the fact that the last few days have been brilliant becuase the household seems to be much happier.
Philippians 4:6-7
English Standard Version (ESV)
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Just come across this too from the following website; http://bible.org/seriespage/chapter-14-dealing-disappointment
"Satan has a strategy to invade our spirits and bring us down until we are defeated. The tip of the wedge seems so harmless. It is simply disappointment.But if we let our disappointment fester, the wedge is driven in a little farther, and we experience discouragement. Unchecked, discouragement because disillusionment. Then the wedge invades even more territory as it proceeds to depression. Ultimately, we end in defeat. How do we prevent the penetration of this deadly wedge into our spirits? We find the answer in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "Give thanks in all circumstances."
I might have to purchase this book to read it looks very useful, anyone read this?
