It’s not a question of if people will disappoint you — it’s when. But disappointment doesn’t have to destroy your faith. God remains steady when human promises crumble.
"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever." — Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
Leaders fail. Friends betray. Congregations split. If you’ve been let down by the church or its people, you know how painful it is. You expected encouragement, but instead you found judgment. You expected stability, but instead you found chaos.
Here’s the truth: people are broken. Even with the best intentions, they fail us. But God never does. His Word stands. His promises remain. His Spirit never leaves. Your faith can rest securely in Him because He doesn’t change with the seasons or sway with popular opinion.
When people disappoint, let it be a reminder not to anchor your faith in human perfection but in God’s perfection. The same God who held Israel steady through the wilderness holds you now. He’s not asking you to ignore the hurt — He’s asking you to trust Him to carry you through it.
Steady Through the Storm — A mid-tempo anthem with piano and soaring vocals, hopeful and powerful, emphasizing God’s faithfulness despite human failure.
Music:
(Verse 1)I trusted their voices, I followed their lead But promises crumbled like autumn leaves They said they were strong, but their strength gave way Yet You stood beside me, unshaken, unafraid (Chorus) You are steady through the storm Faithful when the world is torn When people fade, Your love remains You’re the anchor through the pain (Verse 2) I’ve seen the betrayal, I’ve felt the divide But I’m never forsaken with You by my side Your mercy’s unchanging, Your word never fallsIn the midst of the failure, You’re Lord over all (Chorus) You are steady through the storm Faithful when the world is torn When people fade, Your love remains You’re the anchor through the pain (Bridge) You don’t break, You don’t bend Every promise will extend Through the ashes, through the fight You remain my guiding light (Chorus) You are steady through the storm Faithful when the world is torn When people fade, Your love remains You’re the anchor through the pain
Lord, when people let me down, lift my eyes to You. Remind me that my faith is built on Christ, the solid rock, not on shifting sand. Heal my wounds, steady my steps, and anchor me in Your unfailing love. Amen.
