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.
