Under Pressure | When Life’s Not Fair
BIG IDEA: What feels unfair to you may be serving a purpose that is bigger than you. Pressure is not proof that God has abandoned you.
The pressure is real, God’s presence is greater! It’s not about avoiding the pressure, it’s about finding God through the pressure.
Joseph and unfairness:
The Lord was with Joseph. God’s presence in our lives is not determined by our circumstances. God is not absent in our silent times.
The evil that we are faced with every day will be used by God for our good and for His Glory.
Three truths that can anchor us when we’re walking through our own unfair chapter:
1. Unfair treatment doesn’t mean that God has abandoned you. God is steadfast and faithful. (Hebrews 13:5)
2. Delay doesn’t mean denial. God is building our character while we wait on Him.
3. Trust God with the whole story, not just the chapter. Look at the big picture.
The pressure is real, but God’s presence is greater. Discover hope, strength, and peace through life’s toughest seasons in this practical and encouraging series.
07-05-2026 Under Pressure | Disappointed with God | John 11
BIG PICTURE: What feels unfair to you may be serving a purpose that is bigger than you can imagine.
Disappointed with Jesus…
1. Understand that every difficulty is an opportunity for your good and God’s glory.
2. Remember that this difficulty may not be something you would choose, but it is something that God will use.
3. God’s purposes for His glory were fulfilled because Jesus showed up “late”.
So, what do we do when God doesn’t do what we expect Him to do?
1. Don’t let what you don’t understand cause you to doubt what you already know. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
2. Let your disappointment drive you toward Jesus, not away from Him.
3. Trust that God is doing more than you can see. When God makes you wait, it doesn’t necessarily mean He is saying no.
The pressure is real, but God’s presence is greater. Discover hope, strength, and peace through life’s toughest seasons in this practical and encouraging series.
