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.  Message: “The Gift You Didn’t Want”  Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:6-10 (NIV) Speaker: Pastor Don Johnson Date: May 17, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.
