Anxieties, Hurts, and Disappointments

Along with anxieties and hurts, we also bring our disappointments to God. If anxieties focus on what 'might happen', and hurts focus on what 'has happened', disappointments focus on what 'has not happened'.. acknowledging or naming our disappointment to God is an important move...because, many of us, if we don't bring our disappointment 'to' God, we will blame our disappointment 'on' God, alienating ourselves from our best hope of comfort and strength...
