What Happens When We Are Disappointed?

Disappointments come to everyone at one time or another in life! We all need encouragement at these times and today's reading provided meaningful thoughts to which we can hold. I especially appreciate some of Sarah Young's words: "When you reframe setbacks as opportunities, you find that you gain much more than you have lost." 

The scriptures from Colossians and Philippians are such wonderful reminders of what is important in life - prayer and knowing Christ as our Lord and Savior! As I was reading these passages, I began thinking of the hymn, "Count Your Blessings" and a few words from it:  When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged thinking all is lost...These words continue to comfort me as I change my focus to blessings instead of disappointments, hurts, challenges.

Please share other scriptures and/or Christian songs that help you get through some of life's struggles and disappointments.
