The Gift You Didn’t Want | Pastor Don Johnson

It’s hard to keep the faith when God’s answer isn’t the one you wanted. 

 

In this message, Pastor Don Johnson unpacks Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from 2 Corinthians, revealing how God’s sustaining grace can meet us in discomfort, hardship, and seasons we never would have chosen for ourselves. 

 

Watch this word and discover how to: 

• Trust God even when life feels uncomfortable. 

• Stop letting pressure shake your identity and purpose. 

• Understand the difference between avoiding pain and growing through it. 

• Lean on God’s strength when your own strength runs out. 

 

If you’ve been wrestling with disappointment or prayers that seem unanswered, this message is a reminder that God’s presence sustains you in the hard seasons.
