When Disappointment Strikes

Person looking out over water

“It wasn’t supposed to be this way.”

We don’t always understand God’s will. And, if we’re being honest, there are occasional times when we don’t like His will, either.

When grief lands on our doorstep.

When we’re not sure if we can cope.

When we think about what could have been.

Wrestling with our deepest pain is hard. But if the Bible doesn’t hide stories about suffering, neither should we.

Whatever you’re facing right now—it’s not the end of your story. God is with you, and always will be.

Discover how to process unmet expectations and painful situations with these Plans.

Encourage a Dad With This Verse Image Today

Father holding infant

The Bible is full of stories about fathers and father figures who God used in different ways.

Dads like Jesus’ earthly father, Joseph, who faithfully led and protected his family.

Or Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, who gave wisdom and leadership advice to Moses.

And Paul, who was a spiritual mentor to Timothy.

Just like the men in the Bible, the dads in our lives inspire us in different ways.

Maybe they’ve protected you like Joseph, shared timely guidance like Jethro, or encouraged you like Paul.

Whether he’s your own dad or a father figure, tell a dad how thankful you are for who he is and what he means to you by sharing this Verse Image.

How can God use you?

When you share the app or give to YouVersion, you’re giving hope to millions of people around the world.

Here are three ways YouVersion is helping people connect with God and find hope in His Word:

Ukrainian Bibles and Resources

During an extremely heartbreaking time in Ukraine, overall search activity in YouVersion more than doubled.

As searches for hope, anxiety, and peace grew exponentially, Ukrainians were able to connect to God’s Word in the midst of their pain and emotion.

Our team was able to quickly respond with resources to bring hope in just a matter of days:

The first Ukrainian audio Bible in YouVersion
New Bible App for Kids resources
A Prayer for Comfort, rallying people in prayer for Ukraine
Ongoing encouragement to our Ukrainian community through emails and push notifications

New Features for Churches

We value community and connection—and we know churches do, too.

Soon churches will be able to have a profile in YouVersion and easily share Plans with their entire church.

This is just the beginning of what we’re building, and you can be a part of helping churches around the world better serve and lead their congregations.
