Unanswered Prayers & Disappointment
Girls Gone Bible
July 4, 2025 · 50 min
Summary
Proverbs 13:12 explores hope deferred and fulfilled through personal testimony about unanswered prayer, heartbreak, and learning to trust God's wisdom over personal desires. The speakers teach that suffering with Jesus leads to redemption, and that disappointment—when surrendered to Christ—produces deeper dependence on Him rather than bitterness.
Highlights
If we join in his suffering, if we share in his suffering, then we share in his glory. Suffering with Jesus, suffering in the hope of Jesus, we get to share in his glory.
God let your life fall apart so you can finally stop clinging to the thing that was killing you. He's not punishing you, he's freeing you.
I have complete hope that my family member will be saved, healed, delivered, and I live with my final hope of being in heaven where I will never have to hurt again. That is how you combat disappointment.
