How to Overcome Our Disappointment?

People are disappointed when they cannot do what they really want to do. When one is disappointed, one usually hates both him/herself and others. Then, one is usually filled with fear or discouragement to exist for the future. Have you ever had that feeling? If so, I have one remedy. Before you do anything else to settle your disappointment and fears, kneel down and pray to God. Build a proper relationship with Him first. You may need to ask God's forgiveness or you may need to count his blessings in your life. Do whatever it take to build peace with God. Actually, there are not many problems but a problem that is a broken relationship with God. The more you run away from God's direction, the more problems you face as you are traveling without a proper GPS. 

GPS tells us recalculation when we do not obey its command. As soon as we know it is wrong, the wisest thing to do is to turn back right away. If not, GPS will still give us another road but it takes more times and gas. Likewise, the best GPS of our life is the Holy Spirit. She wants to be with us and relates with us all the times but we usually try to ignore her warnings and direction. Consequently, we just move without the right direction of life. A purposeless life and disappointment are the results of ignoring the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

Then, what should we do when we feel disappointment or dissatisfaction in our life? Kneel down and have fellowship with the Holy Spirit again. Then, she will give you another chance again and again but the more you ignore her warnings, the further you will have to go to reach the goal of your life-journey. 

Dear friends, solve your problems with prayer first and then, God will take care of the rest through you.

(1) Kan thlacam daan a dik lo (James 4:3)
     Bible in," Thla nan cam tikah nan dil dik lo ruangah nan hlawhsam theu. Nan mai nomnak ding lawnglawng ruatin thla nan cam," in ti. Kan mai ngahnak ding, kan hlawknak ding, kan tluannak ding lawnglawng ruatih thla kan cam hi Pathian in leh in tum lo. Kan Pathian sunlawinak ding le kan minung pipawl ih thathnemnak ding ruatin thla kan cam le a hlawknak cotu cu kan mah lala kan si theu. Curuangah zumtu unau, midang hrangah thlacam tam awla Pathian in nangmai tulsammi a lo pe tengteng ding.

    Jesuh in,"Nan ni keimah ih nan um ringring ih ka thu nan sungih a um ahcun nan dilmi hmuahhmuah peek nan si ding," in ti. Samson kha Pathian thusungih a um ahcun tidai adil khalle Bawipa'n a pe mai. Nehnak a dilih a ngah mai. Asinan Pathian thu ih a um lo cun a dilmi lehsak a si nawn lo. Cubak ah sar thih

Zumtu cun thla kan cam tikah Bawipa in in ngai, Bawipa in in thei, in let tengteng ding ti zumnak thawn thla kan cam ding.

(4) Aduh zawng in thla kan cam lo (I John 5:14-15)
     Johan in ,"Kan nih cu Pathian hmai ah ralthatnak kan nei. Ziangruangahtile a duh zawngih kan dil ahcun Pathian in kan thlacam in let ti kan thei" a ti. Pathian duhzawng thei ding cun piangthar si a tul, a duhdan ih nun a tul, Thlarau Thianghlim ih kaihhruaimi si tengteng a tul. Thlarau Thianghlim lawngin Pathian duhdan taktak cu a thei.

(5) Pathian ih daan kan ngaihthah (Thufim 28:9)
     Bible in Pathian ih daan ziangsiar lo ih thlacam cu tenum men a si a ti. Leidaan hmanah fapa / fanu nu le pa ziangsiar lo tukih nung cun nu le pai duhsaknak an co thei lo pi. A daan ngai poimawh tu Daniel, Elijah, Elisha,

(6) Sual kan poisa lo (Saam 66:18)
     Siangpahrang David in, "Ka thinlung ih sual ka ngai poimawh lo ahcun ka thlacam khal Pathian in in let lo," ati. Mai duhduh ih nung cingih Pathian hnenih mai duhduh dil cu Pathian hrang ahcun a huat um taktak. Pathian poisa
tucun sual khal a poisa tengteng. Mai duhbik mi fala/ tlangval huatmi cu zo so tuah rero ngam ding?

(7) Beidong lo in thla kan cam lo (Luke 18:1-8)
     Jesuh in beidong lo ih thla kan cam ringring ding thu tahthimnak hmangin in sim. Khua pakhat ah thuthentu bawi pakhat a um. A inhnen nuhmei nu in a thuhla rel sak dingin a tur hnawh, a ngen ringring ih zamrang te'n a thuhla
a rel sak. Cubangin sunzan ih beidong lo ih Pathian hnenih bomnak dil tucu Pathian in a leh sak ringring a ti. Zumtu tampi cu thla kan cam tikah kan bei dong ol tuk. Pathian ih in pek hlanah kan beidong mai ih thlacam kan baang sal mai theu.

Prayer

If God answers your prayer, He is increasing your faith.

If He delays, He is testing your faith.

If He doesn't, He knows that you can handle it.
