After being hurt repeatedly, seeing prayers go unanswered, or watching high standards never get met, we can fall into something called cynicism. This is an attitude that approaches life seeing the brokenness and skeptically scoffs at the idea that God is at work. A cynic may have the attitude that says “I know better” or “I see things for what they really are.” Cynicism is incredibly pervasive in our world, but Jesus gives us a great reason to have a faith-filled perspective instead teaching us how to approach brokenness in the world not with cynicism, but with discernment and hope.
