2 Corinthians 12:7

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

A thorn in the flesh Paul mentioned in [bible]iicor12[/bible] can be a flaw; something that exists since one was born. More precisely, it is a result of beating, accident, or throwing stones.

Whatever it is, Paul was so irritated by that thorn in the flesh that he asked God three times to let the burden be lifted. But God replied, “My grace is sufficient for you,” ([bible]iicor12:9[/bible]). In details, Jesus said, “Paul, I do not want to heal you at the moment. I give you Myself. I give you My presence, and this is My answer to you.”

Sometimes we suffer physically and ask God to heal us, and we pray for this over and over again. We ask God for miraculous healing. But there are times when our prayers seem unanswered, and God simply says, “My grace is sufficient for you.” It seems like God won’t answer our prayer for healing, but in fact, God wants to heal us in His miraculous way.

When you ask God in the midst of adversity, hurt, or life’s storm, God never leaves you alone. He says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” In any troubles you are dealing with in your life, God is always with you, stands by you to help you.

 

In weakness, God’s strength is revealed.
