Even when I suspect the worst and it turns out to be true, I will inevitably experience a wave of disappointment. If I give myself over to that wave, it will carry me out of God’s purpose and off to a place that is me-focused. That sea of selfishness is far from God’s best for my life.

Crying out to heaven makes my soul stronger in the waves of sorrow, less susceptible to the drift of self-pity.
