Struggling to understand how God's control fits with your daily choices? Wondering if prayer really makes a difference? In this thought-provoking episode, Pastor Brian Miller addresses three crucial questions about God's sovereignty and human free will that every believer wrestles with.

🔥 What You'll Learn:

• How God's sovereignty and your free will work together perfectly
• The real purpose of prayer (it's not what you think!)
• Why God allows suffering and how He redeems it for good
• Biblical examples of people making choices within God's plan
• Practical ways to align your will with God's purposes

📚 Show Notes:

Three Life-Changing Questions:

1. If God is in control, do my choices matter? (Acts 17:24-27)
   • God places us in specific times/places to make free choices
   • Our decisions either advance or hinder God's plan
   • Example: Joshua's choice in Joshua 24:15
2. If God is in control, why should I pray? (Philippians 4:6-7)
   • Prayer changes our hearts, not God's plan
   • Jesus' example in Luke 22:40 - "Not my will, but yours"
   • Focus on relationship, not just requests
3. If God is in control, why is suffering allowed? (Genesis 50:20)
   • God redeems suffering to fulfill His plan
   • Joseph's story: "You intended harm, but God intended good"
   • Jesus' suffering as the ultimate example

💪 Next Steps:

1. Examine your prayer life - are you seeking God's will or your own?
2. Consider how your daily choices impact others' relationship with God
3. If you're suffering, look for ways God might be using it for good
4. Make the choice to follow God's plan over your own
