What was Gods attitude toward this disappointment

Jeremiah - His family tried to kill him and no one believed in him. RESPONSE: Tighten up your belt and get back to your task.
Jonah - God saved the heathen Ninevites.
RESPONSE: So who made you God to make these decisions?
David - His first son by Bathsheba died.
RESPONSE: - Here is Solomon destined to be the greatest.
Rebekah & Isaac - No children
RESPONSE - A little time, eh kids. Twenty years seems right.
and so forth. Disappint-not appointed. Disappointed more or less means we are sad because God didn't appoint us to be in charge of a particular situation. I think God made an exception with chocolate though. :-)

Moses and David. I guess God expected the disappointment (its human nature), because they were being punished (since Moses had disobeyed God by striking the rock to bring water he couldnt go to the promised land. David couldnt build the Temple because he committed adultery with Bathsheba). God let Moses see the promised land and let David be involved in the planning of the temple. I guess he had some mercy on them, but their punishment was still the same.

Which didn't? Moses knew his role in life, went for it, and then spent 40 years in the backside of the desert tending someone else's sheep. He did what God wanted him to do, WHEN God wanted him to do it.
God's attitude, thus, is wait for God. Disappointment is merely us having expected what God was never going to do anyway. That isn't His fault.

Be in Job's place. Righteous, was a "wager's bet" over if he would curse God. Spent nine months in boils, his wife turned a cheek on him, and three of his friends said he sinned when he did not.
If that wasn't disappointing, what is?

Esau - He cried out to God
God had no mercy on him.
Hebrews 12:16 that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

I say the old testament character that had to handle disapointment the most was God.

i will see the place you could think of Jesus to be a mythical character, seeing as you cite myths concerning what He did and did not do, and what He reported and did not say. FYI: The "previous testomony" exchange into already called such by the time correct on your mythical question. i'm bowled over you do not consult with those writings as mythical, seeing as they are packed with prophesies relating to the "mythical" guy or woman Jesus. .

All had to handle disappointment. Pick up your bible open it up to any book and read, you will find someone who has to deal with some form of being disappointed.

Job, he received twice as much after the trial though.

Job. God eventually gave him double of what he lost.
Habukkuk. God listened to his complaints.
