What it means
God answered Paul’s prayer with a no and a promise. The weakness stayed; the grace was enough; and the power of Christ showed up precisely where Paul was weakest.
Paul describes a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he pleaded three times to have removed. This is the answer he received.
Where it addresses you
You have prayed for something to be removed and it has not been.
Your weakness feels like disqualification.
Found in Encouragement, Strength, Grace.
