TEN YEARS on the air (a Decade of Disappointment) and THIS is how we celebrate? Oy gevalt. The guys talk all about one of the worst movies of all time - The Hottie & the Nottie starring (and very unsurprisingly produced by) Paris Hilton. Just how mean CAN a movie get? Why is Nate in love with a child? Are "funny" names ever funny? Do ugly people only deserve love if they get hot? All this and more!

Last week's guest said something that really stuck with me: “The cost of community is disappointment.”We feel disappointed when a friend cancels at the last minute, when someone doesn't show up the way we hoped they would, when we feel left out, and when the birthday or baby shower or hard season does not look the way we imagined it would. And most of us do not really want to admit how much disappointment exists inside our friendships, because we want friendship to feel like joy, ease, fun, support, and belonging.In today's episode, I'm talking about the many ways disappointment appears in friendship, why the opposite of disappointment might be apathy, and how I try to sit with it when it stings.In this episode you'll hear about:How canceled plans, missed milestones, and feeling left out can all become different versions of the same feelingWhy I encourage my friends to hang out without me, and still sometimes feel sad when they doWhat slow-burn disappointments can do to a friendshipHow to tell the difference between a disappointment worth reflecting on and a repeated patternResources & LinksEpisode 146: Moving Past Inconvenience and Into the Joy of HelpingEpisode 191: How To Make Mom Friends When the Village Doesn't Just AppearLike what you hear?

I hope life never hardens you to the point where you lose your softness.There are plenty of experiences that can make us want to close ourselves off. Hurt. Disappointment. Broken trust. Relationships that did not go the way we hoped. Moments that make us want to say, “Never again.”And protecting yourself can feel like the safest option.But there is a difference between having boundaries and building walls around yourself.In this episode, I talk about staying connected to who you are while still being thoughtful about who gets access to you and how much access they receive. Different relationships deserve different levels of closeness, but I think being connected to another person is something worth treating as a privilege.I also get into forgiveness, change, accountability, and the willingness to say what you need while being open to hearing what someone else needs from you.None of that guarantees you will never get hurt again.You probably will.But completely closing yourself off can create its own kind of pain. You may protect yourself from certain experiences, but you can also end up disconnected from people, opportunities, and even parts of yourself.Life gives us the chance to change every day.We can appreciate who we are while still acknowledging where we need to grow. We can apologize when we have caused harm. We can genuinely change our behavior. We can learn from what happened without allowing the past to determine how we experience everything that comes next.Stay present. Stay connected to yourself. Keep your boundaries.But do your best not to lose your softness along the way.

There are things you've done that you wish you could take back. Choices you regret. Sins you're ashamed of. Parts of your story you wish no one knew. And even after you've repented, there can still be a voice inside that says: “God may forgive you…but He can't really love you the same.” Guys, that is a lie. This week in our Power Made Perfect series, we move from repentance to reconciliation. Repentance is when we turn around and head back toward the Father. Reconciliation is what happens when we discover who is waiting for us when we get there. Just like the prodigal son, we can come home expecting to be treated like a servant. But the Father says: No. You are still my son. In this week's episode, John covers:

Here are some of the many lessons God has taught me in my 20's.

Life has a way of knocking us out of alignment. Disappointment, betrayal, tragedy, loss — the potholes we hit along the way can leave us cracked, tired, and drifting from God. But in Jeremiah 18, God sends the prophet down to a potter's house with a message we all need to hear: what's broken doesn't have to stay broken.In this message, Pastor Delman Coates walks through the potter's wheel to show us how God realigns and restores our lives:

Jonathan Miltimore discusses the ongoing imprisonment of 79-year-old pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, calling it the world's most overlooked story. Miltimore expresses his deep disappointment that Donald Trumpfailed to raise Lai's case publicly during his Beijing trip, instead repeating CCP rhetoric that Lai caused "bedlam." He describes Lai's deteriorating health inside his tiny, unventilated six-foot cell and urges President Trump to pressure Xi Jinping during his upcoming U.S. visit. Miltimore notes that even certain CCP factions want Lai released to avoid international outrage if he dies in prison, emphasizing that Lai is fully prepared for potential martyrdom. (4)

Ken names former Browns coach Kevin Stefanski as his biggest disappointment of the weekend after the Falcons looked sloppy in a 27-7 preseason loss, sparking a debate over whether Stefanski is a true head coach or just a good coordinator. Ratboy and the Hog also break down the Browns passing on injury prone Jordan Tyson in favor of Casey Concepcion, compare rookie QB preseason performances with Steelers pick Drew Allar grading out best, and react to breaking news that free agent Z'Darrius Smith signed with Stefanski's Falcons instead of Cleveland.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of effort, but the fact that you've become so used to expecting things to go wrong?In this episode, we're talking about the habit of rehearsing disappointment before it ever happens... Expecting to dislike what we see in the mirror, expecting the text to be bad news, expecting the parking lot to be full, expecting less money, less luck, less beauty, less love.Our brain learns from the evidence you repeatedly give it so what if you started giving it evidence that life is actually working in your favor?We're exploring the “mirror muscle” practicing looking at yourself expecting to be pleasantly surprised rather than searching for flaws and using that same exercise to uncover all the other places in life where you automatically anticipate struggle.What if the work text is actually a raise?What if the friend reaching out is bringing good news?What if there's a parking spot with your name on it?What if your bank account has more than you expected?Why not give yourself a chance and instead of “what could go wrong?” you start asking “what if everything goes right?”We're also getting into the identity of the person you're becoming. You don't need to wait until you have the body, money, relationship, career, confidence, or lifestyle you think you need before you can become her. How would she wake up tomorrow?How would she dress, speak, eat, love, move, and carry herself?Maybe being self-deprecating isn't humility. Maybe it's a habit.Maybe expecting the worst isn't protecting you anymore, maybe it's keeping you disconnected from the version of yourself who expects beauty, abundance, luck, and magic.This is your invitation to stop rehearsing disappointment and start practicing expectation.What if it really does work out for you?What if it happens faster than you think?What if your life is already beginning to shift in your favor?Expect magic. Then show up like it's already yours.

What happens when disappointment starts shaping what you believe about God? In this episode, Caroline shares how unanswered prayers, delays, loss, and difficult circumstances can affect our faith, and why we cannot build our theology around what has or has not happened to us. You'll be encouraged to bring your disappointment honestly to God, separate your circumstances from His character, and begin building unshakable faith that truly believes anything is possible with God.

Controversy. Disappointment. Drama. The Championship is so back... Norwich City's disappointing opening day record continued as they were beaten 2-1 by West Brom at Carrow Road, but much of the post-match discourse was dominated by the Baggies opening goal. Aune Heggebo diverted the ball into the net for to put City behind, with Philippe Clement describing the situation as 'ridiculous' post-match. But there were plenty of football reasons behind the Canaries defeat. Plenty to discuss with host Connor Southwell, Paddy Davitt and Adam Harvey - plus an insight on a hostile welcome for Matej Jurasek at new club Sparta Prague. ***Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd***You can also hear the Pink Un Podcast on Norwich's Community radio station, Future Radio 107.8FM.***To get in touch with the podcast now and in future, send any comments and questions into the crew with an email to norfolksport@archant.co.uk or get in touch with us @pinkun on Twitter, where our direct messages are open.And if you're interested in sponsoring the pod, or placing an advert in one of our shows, email connor.southwell@newsquest.co.ukALSO FIND US AT THE FOLLOWING:Subscribe: pinkun.com/podcastTwitter: twitter.com/pinkunFacebook: fb.me/thepinkunInstagram: instagram.com/the_pinkunFind more details on how you can sign up to Pink Un + here: https://www.pinkun.com/pinkunplus/#ncfc #norwichcity #podcast

Today's Bible Verse: "My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent." — Psalm 109:1 Some days simply feel harder than others. Disappointment, conflict, exhaustion, and circumstances outside our control can leave us wondering where God is in the middle of it all. Psalm 109:1 gives us permission to bring those difficult emotions honestly before God rather than pretending everything is fine. David's words throughout Psalm 109 reveal someone experiencing deep pain and frustration. Yet even in his distress, he turns toward God. His example reminds us that having a difficult day doesn't mean we've failed spiritually. God invites us to bring our anger, confusion, hurt, and disappointment into His presence.

She asked for the best way to help our teenagers cope with this sort of disappointment. I thought it was a great question and a good opportunity to also look at how we parents can best navigate when our teen has worked for years toward a dream - a top university place, exam results, a team, a part - and it doesn't happen. The disappointment can feel earth‑shattering for them and gut‑wrenching for you.In this episode I talk with Dr Dominique Thompson, award‑winning GP and young people's mental health expert, about how to support teenagers through big disappointments such as university rejection, exam failure, and missed opportunities – without rescuing them or minimising their feelings.We explore:What teens are actually grieving when things go wrong – including the loss of an imagined futureHow to validate their emotions while gently stopping catastrophic thinkingThe difference between building resilience and teaching kids to suppress their feelingsWhy today's culture of perfectionism and “being the best” is driving anxiety, burnout and fear of failureHow to help teens separate self‑worth from grades, offers and achievementsPractical ways to prepare teens for university life, academic stress and independenceWhen dropping out isn't the only option – how to press pause, get help and return strongerWhat to do if your teen feels “left behind” while friends move on to university or big opportunitiesHow parents can be a “safe harbour”: supportive, boundaried, and not adding their own disappointment to their teen's loadIf you're a parent wondering how to respond when your child says, “I've failed you,” or “There's no point trying,” this conversation will give you concrete language, mindset shifts and step‑by‑step strategies to help them cope, reframe, and find a new path forward.Dr Dominique Thompson: is a multi-award winning former GP, young people's mental health expert, TEDx speaker, author and educator, with over two decades of NHS clinical experience.She is author of The Student Wellbeing Series for young people, and co-author of How to Grow a Grown Up (PenguinRandomHouse) for parents.dominique.thompson@me.comwww.buzzconsulting.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/drdomthompson/https://www.facebook.com/drdomthompson/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominique-thompson/Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

This episode “What To Do When Life Doesn't Go As Planned” sometimes nothing is the best thing to do because although it doesn't look like the plan is in order, you need to take a step back, pray about it, meditate about it and just trust because you could be in a pattern of adjustments or redirection. We can't be so quick to discard what we have because if you look at what you do have with gratitude and give it time to work itself out while at the same time keeping in mind that the people in your life are also going through things. If it's something that you do need to make a physical adjustment, then you need to do that but in many cases, it's just letting life unfold and as you step into the future and you look back you can oftentimes see the pattern with gratitude that you didn't make changes because you would have missed all that you have right now. In life sometimes we feel like there's other things that we want so bad or that the grass is greener on the other side.  Oftentimes looking back at what seemed so important at the time ends up being simply a bullet you dodged.  #Disappointment.   #I hopeSend us Fan MailSupport the showRefer a friend.

Hey Clutterbugs! If you've been decluttering for weeks and your house STILL looks like a mess, let me be the first to tell you you're doing everything right. If you're putting in the work without seeing results, you're not failing. You're in the Valley of Disappointment, and it's exactly where you're supposed to be. After 17 years as a professional organizer, I've learned that progress isn't linear. You can work for days, weeks, even months without seeing visible change—and then suddenly, like magic, everything clicks. But most people quit right before they reach that breakthrough moment. In this episode, I'm breaking down the Valley of Disappointment (a concept from Atomic Habits by James Clear) and showing you what it looks like for each organizing style. Because understanding WHERE you are in the process is the difference between giving up and pushing through to that transformational moment. The Valley of Disappointment is temporary. Your breakthrough is right around the corner. Don't quit now—you're closer than you think. Go work on a space that feels stalled while you listen. Make it 1% better. That's all you need to do today.

Is the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown a must-see shrine to baseball history, or does the experience fall short of expectations?In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we break down a recent firsthand visit to Cooperstown and what was surprisingly missing. From the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery and exhibits featuring Babe Ruth, Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Pete Rose, Shohei Ohtani and more, we look at how baseball history is presented and compare the experience with the Pro Football Hall of Fame.We also discuss Cooperstown's massive youth baseball scene, the challenges of visiting the small New York town, and the biggest question of all: Is the Baseball Hall of Fame actually worth making a special trip to see?Before getting into Cooperstown, we kick things off with a surprising Jaws story involving Martha's Vineyard, shark attacks, and one of the movie's child actors more than 50 years later.Do you agree with the criticism, or is Cooperstown still a bucket-list destination for every baseball fan?

I emancipated from the child welfare system at 16 with nothing.Years later, I returned to my high school reunion as a successful business owner, real estate investor, national child advocate, professional speaker, author of 15 books, founder of Successful Survivors Foundation, and a woman on a mission to help others, especially survivors of childhood trauma, find and fulfill their purpose and experience their own authentic success.What happened between those two moments matters. But the deeper story is found in the character and personality traits and survival skills that helped me create personal and professional success. Those things that you already possess can help you too.Your character, personality, values, beliefs, attitude and abilities are among the most valuable assets you can possess. They can help you build a successful life regardless of where you started or what you have endured.The best part is that they cost nothing. And you may already possess far more of them than you realize.CharacterCharacter is revealed through the choices you make, particularly when those choices are difficult, costly or unseen. The following traits contribute to success in every area of life:Honesty is telling the truth even when a lie would be easier. It is saying, “I made the mistake,” before someone else discovers it. Honesty may cost you comfort in the moment, but it earns something far more valuable: trust.Integrity is doing what is right when no one is watching and no reward is guaranteed. It is returning money when you have been overpaid or keeping a promise after it becomes inconvenient. Integrity aligns your private decisions with your public values.Courage is not the absence of fear. It is taking the next right step while fear is still present. Courage is applying for the job you don't feel qualified for, leaving a harmful relationship or speaking up when remaining silent would be safer.Perseverance is continuing after the excitement has faded and the work has become difficult. It is submitting another proposal after several rejections or returning to school after an unsuccessful semester. Perseverance understands that a setback is an event, not a verdict.Work ethic is consistently giving your best effort, whether the assignment feels important or insignificant. The employee who arrives on time, prepared, solves problems, avoids drama and conflict, and completes what needs to be done becomes someone others can depend on.Determination keeps your destination in sight even when you must change your route. When one door closes, a determined person looks for another door, builds a door or finds a completely different way forward.Resilience is the ability to recover, adapt and rebuild after hardship. Resilience does not deny pain. It refuses to allow pain to have the final word.PersonalityYour personality influences how you experience life and how others experience you. You do not need to possess every desirable personality trait. You do need to understand your natural tendencies and learn how to use them wisely.Ask the people who know you best which qualities they see in you. Their answers may reveal strengths you have overlooked.A healthy sense of humor helps you keep difficult moments in perspective. When plans fall apart, the ability to laugh at the situation — and sometimes at yourself — can release tension and help everyone begin again.Optimism is the expectation that something good can still come from an imperfect situation. An optimist who is turned down for an opportunity does not pretend the rejection feels good. Instead, that person asks, “What can I learn from this, and what opportunity might still be ahead?”Hope is closely connected to optimism, but it reaches deeper. Hope allows you to imagine a good future before you can see evidence of it. It gives you a reason to take one more step when everything in you wants to stop.An even temperament helps you respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. When you receive a harsh email, emotional regulation is the wisdom to pause before replying. Disappointment is inevitable, but allowing disappointment to control your behavior is not.AttitudeThe importance of a positive attitude cannot be overstated. This can be difficult for people who naturally tend toward pessimism, but a positive mental attitude can be developed through intentional thought and practice.A positive attitude does not require pretending that everything is fine. It means refusing to believe that one painful moment will define your entire life.We cannot always control the first thought that enters our minds, but we can decide whether we will entertain it, challenge it or redirect it. We do not have to become prisoners of every negative thought that appears.When your mind says, “I failed, so I am a failure,” you can challenge that thought with the truth: “This attempt did not succeed, but I can learn, adjust and try again.”When you lose an opportunity, you can spend months asking, “Why did this happen to me?” Or you can ask, “What can this teach me, and what can I do next?”That shift does not change the past. It changes what the past is allowed to do to your future.Values and BeliefsYour values identify what matters most to you. Your beliefs shape what you accept as true about yourself, other people and what is possible for your future.Together, your values and beliefs create guardrails. They help you remain within the boundaries of the life you want to build and become the best version of yourself.Imagine being offered a profitable opportunity that requires you to mislead a customer. If honesty is one of your core values, the decision has already been made. Your values protect you from trading long-term peace and credibility for short-term gain.Values and beliefs also help you decide who belongs in your inner circle. A person may be charming, successful or exciting, but if that person repeatedly mocks your convictions, violates your boundaries or pressures you to compromise, closeness to that person can derail your life. That is too high a price to pay.Boundaries are not punishments. They are filters that protect what you value most.AbilitiesYour abilities include the things you have learned in classrooms, workplaces, relationships and difficult life experiences.You may have survival skills, conflict-resolution skills, communication skills, friendship skills and abilities you developed simply because life required you to figure things out. You also have natural talents that were present long before you recognized their value.Some survival responses require healing, but others can be refined into powerful abilities. A child who learned to read a room may grow into an adult with exceptional situational awareness. Someone who learned to accomplish a great deal with very little may become an unusually resourceful entrepreneur. A person who frequently helped others resolve disagreements may have the natural ability to lead, negotiate or build strong teams.You may be a gifted listener, organizer, teacher, encourager, problem-solver, storyteller or peacemaker. Because these abilities come naturally, you may assume they are ordinary. They are not. What feels effortless to you may be exactly what someone else needs.Purposeful Practice: Take Inventory of What You Already PossessCreate five headings on a piece of paper:CharacterPersonalityAttitudeValues and beliefsAbilitiesUnder each heading, list the assets you possess. Beside every asset, write one example of how you have demonstrated it.Do not merely write, “I am resilient.” Write the evidence: “I rebuilt my life after losing my job.” “I raised my children while going to school.” “I survived something that could have destroyed me, and I am still moving forward.”Then circle one asset you have not been using fully and identify one way you can put it to work this week.You may not have started life with money, connections, encouragement or opportunity. But that does not mean you started with nothing.When you recognize, develop and intentionally use the assets already within you, you can create a purposeful life and experience the five facets of real success: healthy relationships, peace, joy, wellness and the financial provision needed to do what you are uniquely qualified to do.Your past may explain where you began. It does not get to decide where you finish. Get full access to Rhonda Sciortino's Wounds to Wisdom Diary & Podcast at rhondasciortino.substack.com/subscribe

Unprocessed grief doesn't just go away—it corrodes the soul over time. Too many of us were never taught how to grieve loss or process deep disappointment. Instead, we adapt by becoming distant, bitter, or detached from God and the people we love.But suffering doesn't have to push you away from God. Psalm 42 gives us a practical roadmap for lament, showing how life's hardest seasons can actually anchor us deeper in Christ. Join us this Sunday as we wrap up our two-part series on Psalm 42.

Chile... what a week. It was disappointing to experience, but this here Big Brother, after all. This week, we're joined by the absolutely lovely Neddie to break down Kamu's HOH reign, Jason's eviction, and dive into a larger conversation about LGBTQ+ and diverse representation on the show (& much more, of course!)

As parents, watching our kids hurt can feel harder than experiencing disappointment ourselves. Our instinct is to fix it, protect them, or make the pain go away.But what if disappointment isn't something we're supposed to rescue them from?What if it's one of life's greatest teachers?In this episode, I'm sharing lessons I'm learning right alongside my own daughters. We'll talk about how to help our kids process disappointment in healthy ways, build resilience, regulate emotions, and develop the kind of character that will serve them long after childhood.This isn't about raising kids who never struggle—it's about raising adults who know how to get back up.If you've ever watched your child lose a game, not make the team, experience rejection, or have their heart broken, this conversation is for you.In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it's important that we know who's we are & who we are. We aren't called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that's it. It doesn't have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions! I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.And, that takes intention, that takes action: My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community. The real unlock is the Inner Work, and that's what we do here! If you enjoyed today's episode, please: • Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @thejenkeller or  @projectyou  so we can repost you. • Leave a positive review or rating  For more ways to do the inner work you can find me on @thejenkeller on instagram and Jennifer Keller on Facebook and to join our exclusive Facebook community Project YOU  To do the inner work visit jenkeller.net

Maybe you’re living out a story that doesn’t look like you imagined. You had dreams, you had desires, you had plans … and your life seems to have fallen flat. You’ve been left wanting – left waiting – left wondering. When will things change for you? How much longer do you have to wait? What if what you want will never happen? Then what? Will you just be miserable? Or what if it does change? What if your waiting is over. What if the very thing you’ve always wanted is on it’s way to you now, it’s literally happening. Then what? Will you finally be happy? One thing I know for sure – we’re in a continual pursuit of what we think will make us happy, and that mark constantly moves. Most of us literally woke up surrounded by answers to the very prayers we once prayed. Yet we didn’t wake up feeling like we have it all. The mark moved. The distant land of happiness is still just out of your reach. But you tell yourself when you finally get there life will be so good. It’s almost like the end of the rainbow. It looks like it’s just right over there. Like you can walk right to it. But when you get there, the end of the rainbow has moved on you, so you never quite arrive. Within our Bible is the story of a woman who waited well. A woman who was brutally honest with God instead of faking her way through it. And a woman who finally got what she wanted and shows us precisely what to do then. That woman is Hannah. Her story is found in 1 Samuel chapters 1 and 2. Hannah was married to a man with one of those really hard to pronounce names, so we will just call him E. E had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Hannah was the one E really loved, but Peninnah was the one who had given him children. Verse 5 says, “The Lord had closed her womb.” Why wasn’t she able to have children? It’s actually very clear. The Lord had closed her womb. Now of course to us that doesn’t seem fair. Why? That’s what Hannah was asking as well. And guess what? God didn’t fault her for asking. He doesn’t find fault in our asking either. You can ask God why. Why are you left waiting? Why has your life turned in a direction you would have never asked for? What do you have to do to get this to change for you? Here’s what I notice in these stories in our Bible – if our questioning is directed to God, it is always handled with care and powerful resolve. God always makes a way, or He reveals how His way is for a greater purpose. It’s never left unresolved. He answers. But the issue becomes when we’re turning to anyone or anything other than God for solutions to our problems. In your wait – in your struggle – in your trial – who are you bringing your questioning to? Where are you going when you are seeking? Those self-help books are not your answer. That relationship isn’t your answer. That promotion isn’t your answer. That number on the scale isn’t your answer. That next accomplishment isn’t your answer. Your answer is God. Hannah could have become bitter. She could have become resentful. She could have given up on God altogether. Instead, she ran to Him. At this time in history, once a year you could go up where the priest was and offer a sacrifice and worship the Lord. Yes, just once a year. Every year when Hannah would go to worship the Lord, there E’s other wife would be as well. And there, Peninnah, the wife with children, would poke at her. Verses 6-7, “Because the Lord had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.” Every time Hannah went to worship God, she was only reminded of what she didn’t have. Reminded of what she wanted but still lacked. Reminded of her struggle, her short-coming, and her future that looked nothing like she had imagined. Year after year. Prayer after prayer. Disappointment after disappointment. But you know what she didn’t stop doing – she didn’t stop going to worship God. She didn’t sit in her hurt, wallow in her disappointment, and give up on God. She kept going to worship. Even when this awful woman would be there. Even when she was reminded of what she didn’t have. SHE KEPT GOING TO GOD. Girl, whatever you’re waiting on, you keep going to God. Don’t let anyone discourage you. Don’t let anyone or anything get in your way of going to God. Now, this part of the story shows us our most important move. Verse 10, “In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly.” She didn’t hold it in. She didn’t pretend like she was okay. She let it all out. She was desperate before the Lord. Jamie Macdonald has a song called Desperate. Girl, cry out those words to God if you’re waiting for him. Don’t hold it in. Don’t pretend like you’re okay when you’re not. I’m at the end of myself and I’m Tired, I’ve tried all that I know to do Right now it’s just by a thread but I’m I’m hanging on to you I’m running out of hope I need a miracle And if I ever needed you, it’s right now Oh God, I’m desperate Down on my knees Send help from heaven ‘Cause that’s what I need Redeem this wreckage Restore my peace I’m not asking, I’m begging Lord, come through for me I need heaven and I’m Desperate Get desperate before God. Hannah was so desperate before God, praying, begging, crying, the priest thought she was drunk. No, Hannah wasn’t drunk, she was desperate. Girl, let yourself be desperate for God. Stop trying to hold it all together. Stop pretending you’re okay. Stop with the facade. Get real before the Lord. If you’re not fine, stop saying you are. Somewhere along the way we’ve gotten the idea that faith means pretending we’re fine. Hannah would disagree. Faith isn’t pretending you’re okay. Faith is bringing your honest heart before a faithful God. God can handle your questions. He can handle your tears. He can handle your disappointment. He’s not intimidated by any of it. And perhaps this is what you need to hear today—you don’t have to fake contentment while you’re waiting. God isn’t asking you to pretend you don’t care. He’s asking you to bring what you care about to Him. Notice what happened after Hannah prayed. She didn’t immediately become pregnant. Her circumstances hadn’t changed. God hadn’t yet answered her prayer. But here’s what she did after she cried out to the Lord – verse 18, “She went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.” Something shifted in Hannah. She no longer carried this burden. She had left this in the hands of God. Let me tell you something—whatever you’re waiting on, whatever you’re hoping for, whatever you’re desperate for—it is perfectly held in the hands of God. PUT IT THERE. And when you do, your circumstances may not change immediately, but you can feel different. You can feel lighter. You can live better. At that point, nothing had changed, but Hannah had. She walked into God’s presence carrying her burden, and she walked out having left it there. I wonder if that’s what God is inviting some of us to do today—not to stop wanting what we want, but to stop carrying what He has invited us to surrender. You don’t have to know what God is going to do next. You simply have to know where to go while you’re waiting. Go to Him. So how does the story end? Well, it’s easy to say the story ends with God giving Hannah what she had begged Him for. Verse 20 says, “So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, ‘Because I asked the Lord for him.'” The end of the rainbow? No. This isn’t the end. Let me tell you what Hannah did after she got what she had waited for so long. Let me tell you what she did when the Lord answered and her story changed. Verse 27, Hannah goes to worship the Lord and she once again prays, “I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I GIVE HIM TO THE LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” In chapter 2, her prayer continues, “My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. I delight in your deliverance.” Who is Hannah worshiping? The Lord. And here’s where we often mess up—God gives us what we asked for, our prayers are answered, we’re living in His blessing, and that thing becomes our god. Our focus shifts to what God gave us instead of the God who gave it to us. Whatever God does for you, make sure you give it back to Him. Don’t let your blessing take the place of the Blessor. And maybe that’s been God’s invitation all along. When you don’t have it—trust Him. When you’re waiting—trust Him. When He says no—trust Him. When He says not yet—trust Him. And when He says yes—trust Him still. Hannah teaches us that contentment isn’t found in finally getting what you’ve always wanted. If it were, she would have ended her story in chapter 1 holding Samuel in her arms. Instead, she begins chapter 2 with her hands lifted in worship. Her greatest joy wasn’t that she had a son. Her greatest joy was that she had her God. Perhaps that’s the secret of contentment. It’s not found in getting the life you imagined. It’s found in knowing the God who is writing your story. Whether you’re in chapter 1 weeping bitterly or chapter 2 singing joyfully, He is still worthy. He is still good. And He is still enough. So bring Him your waiting. Bring Him your questions. Bring Him your disappointments. Bring Him your answered prayers. Put it all in His hands and leave it there. Because the greatest gift God will ever give you isn’t what comes from His hand—it’s His hand itself.
