As Jesus was sovereign over the trial he faced in the Garden of Gethsemane, he is also sovereign over every trial we face. As these trials "sift us like wheat", the seed that is produced is to be used for a purpose according to God's will.

1. Jesus has a plan when we're facing a trial. (v1-3)
2. Jesus has a plan when we are under attack. (v4-9)
3. Jesus has a plan when we fail. (v10-11)
