The Thorn in The Flesh
Manage episode 505871035 series 3680444
When the Apostle Paul pleaded for God to remove his “thorn in the flesh,” God’s response wasn’t what he expected—it was better. In this episode, we explore 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 and the powerful truth that God’s grace is not only enough to carry us, but His power shines brightest when we are at our weakest.
As someone living with chronic illness, I understand the longing for healing and the frustration of unanswered prayers. But like Paul, I’m learning what it means to rely on God’s strength instead of my own—and how to find true contentment even in suffering.
We’ll talk about:
- The reality of living with a “thorn”
- Why God sometimes says “My grace is sufficient” instead of “Yes”
- Practical steps to becoming content in your illness
- The paradox of weakness and strength
- How to root your joy in Christ, not in your circumstances
If you’ve ever wondered how to trust God with your pain and still live with purpose, this conversation will remind you—you are not alone, and your weakness is the very place where His power is made perfect.
