Thorn in the Flesh
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
When the Apostle Paul asked God to take away a “thorn in the flesh,” God said no. Why? Because Paul’s pain was being used by God for a purpose. When you serve God despite your weaknesses and struggles, you show others the grace of His glory.
God of All Goodness, Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Your grace is sufficient for me.
