The 3 “D’s”

Hello everybody.

Today’s blog is about the 3 “D’s”… Disappointment, Depression, and Doubt. And the funny thing is.. they usually occur in that order too. Let’s use a typical situation. Say that you prayed for something.. like a new car for instance. You don’t end up getting the car a few weeks later. So your all disappointed at either God or yourself because either: you feel God didn’t answer your prayers for no reason.. or that you couldn’t pray strong enough. After that, you start getting depressed mostly because you don’t have a car.. and we’ll throw in that you feel like you “aren’t where you need to be with the Lord”. Finally, your little buddy called doubt comes along. So now, you start feeling doubtful and wonder, “Is God really there?” or “Does God still love me?”

This happens all the time. Even on a daily basis with some Christians. The car could have been substituted with anything in life.  Hopefully, you ask yourself, “Why are so many people victim to the “D’s”? It’s a very simple answer. People become disappointed, depressed, and doubtful because they attach so much emotion and put so much focus on the material or temporary thing.

Here’s the verse that everybody knows : Cast your cares on the LORD  and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. (Psalms 55:22). Here’s a bit of advice for all you people out there experiencing any of the “D’s”… Do what this verse says. Disappointment happens after something that you care about fails you. Depression is basically a stronger feeling of disappointment. And doubt is the same way.

So,  if you released some of your cares or burdens.. your “D’s” would go away.. because your getting to the source of what started them. Yes, this blogger knows that the process of letting go is easier said than done… but that doesn’t make it any less impossible.

And with that said ladies and gentlemen.. this includes the super duper awesome blog for today! :)
