...as they surely will...what is your first reaction to them?
every time something thwarts your plans or desires...use that as a reminder to talk to God...this practice has several benefits...
the first benefit...although quite obvious...is that talking to God actually blesses you and strengthens your relationship with Him...what could be better?
the second benefit...you will find that disappointments...instead of dragging you down...are transformed into opportunities for good...this transformation removes the sting from difficult circumstances...making it possible to be joyful in the midst of adversity...
begin by practicing this discipline in all the little disappointments of daily life...it is often these minor setbacks that draw you away from His presence...when you reframe setbacks as opportunities...you find that you gain much more then you have lost...after practicing this...you will find that you can accept major losses in this positive way as well...
