It’s easy to be thankful when life is good — but how do you stay grateful when it’s not? When the prayers seem unanswered, when pain is real, and when God feels distant?
In this episode of the Faith Fight Podcast, Chris Creary tackles five powerful and honest questions Christians often ask about gratitude in difficult times. Using Scripture and personal encouragement, Chris shows how thankfulness isn’t about ignoring pain — it’s about trusting God through it.
💡 You’ll learn:
How to thank God in the middle of suffering
Why God allows challenges and how they refine your faith
How to find blessings when you can’t see any
Practical ways to cultivate gratitude when your heart feels heavy
Featured Scriptures:
1 Thessalonians 5:18, Romans 8:28, James 1:2–4, Psalm 103:2, Lamentations 3:22–23
By the end, you’ll see that gratitude in pain doesn’t minimize your struggle — it magnifies your hope in Christ.
