The Daily Grace Podcast Why Not Me? What to Do When Others Get What You Want
What is the one thing that you deeply desire? Maybe it’s a relationship, a job, an opportunity, or a positive pregnancy test. We all know what it’s like to want something, yet not receive it. We also know what it’s like to watch others receive the very thing we want while we sit with empty hands.
Today on the Daily Grace Podcast we talk about how to untangle all of the emotions associated with the question, “why not me?” We’ll discuss how to be honest about our emotions, honor others, and honor the Lord when we feel disappointed and discouraged. We pray that this episode meets you right where you are and offers you gospel hope and practical help.
