We had hoped to become leaders
We had hoped not to move again
We had hoped that people would understand our needs
We had hoped overcome sins
We had hoped husband or wife would make changes
On the road to Emmaus - they did not see Jesus in their walk until Jesus' lit a fire under them
It is not until lost it all - that we will listen to God
David (1 Samuel 18-22)
Lost a position
Lost his wife
Lost a wise counselor
Lost a friend
Lost self-respect
The purpose is rediscover him
Lost hope in your relationships - God may want you to rediscover how He can meet all your needs
Lost hope in financial stability - God may want you to rediscover how to totally depend on him
Lost hope in someone changing - God may want you to rediscover his expectations for you
