When our heavenly Father tells us to do something, we shouldn’t question it, but rather we should just do it because He said so.  We’re His children and He’s our Father—and He knows best.  We can be grateful for God’s prerogative because it’s always focused on the best outcome for us.

Pastor Ford will remind us that God works His sovereign will in spite of us.  He uses us, even though we may not realize that we’re being used by Him.  He is still working out His plan for the best possible outcome in our lives.  And although we may not see it or understand what He’s doing, we can still be grateful for His sovereignty.

Today on Treasured Truth, we’ll continue to look at how the Apostle Paul described and dealt with his “thorn in the flesh.” Pastor Ford will point out that there was a tension, or a tandem nature about Paul’s situation—God graced the suffering to him, but Satan was the one who was giving him fits. Satan was the one causing his pain. It wasn’t God. God was the one being gracious toward him.

Nothing will make us pray like a problem.  And that’s one reason why God allows problems to enter our lives so we will learn to depend more on Him.  But we don’t need to understand God’s methods, we just have to trust that He is God and that He knows best and then be thankful for His work in our lives.  Learn more about this on today’s Treasured Truth.

We can’t see God with our eyes. And signs of how He is working in the world and in our lives are not always visible to us. But the Scriptures assure us that no matter what we perceive He is always working. And for that we can be grateful and can express our gratitude to Him in prayer.

Praying with an attitude of gratitude involves focusing in on thanking God for Who He is.  We can express our gratitude to Him for His many attributes, like His power and His purity.  And we can begin by shifting our focus from ourselves to Him. Find out more on today’s Treasured Truth.

God sometimes tells us to wait for answers to our prayers until it’s humanly impossible for what we’re waiting for to be accomplished. We wait until there’s no earthly way for it to happen, so that everyone knows if God didn’t do it, then it just wouldn’t get done. Learn more about why God sometime tells us to wait when we pray on today's Treasured Truth.
