I was hoping for a promotion in the company I work with. I was quite confident it would be given to me, because those in charge told me I would probably get the promotion. 

I believe I have done the best I can at my current position and that I am ready for new tasks - I was fit for the promotion. Still, the promotion was eventually given to one of my co-workers. Things for me have not changed at all on the job, and I am feeling quite disappointed and disillusioned. 

I am not a difficult employee and I do my current job efficiently. But, I hoped to become at least a General Accountant before I leave my current job. Maybe God has better plans for me...

How do I overcome the pain of being passed over, and where should I go from here?
